The only Bond movie which pretty much was the same as the book was Dr. No.

All the first ones were close enough that you would recognize the story line tho. Even when they began to get way off the storyline as in “Diamonds Are Forever”, you could still see parts of the book.

They eventually got to where the only similarity to the books was the title and the movies were the worse for it.

Then again most people seem to like unbelievable car chases and impossible fights etc.

I think I recall the book version of Dr. No was an industrial birdlime magnate, I can’t remember what Dr. No from the movie was supposed to do? Also I think I remember Bond fighting a giant squid in the book.

I really liked the book and the movie. Dr. No in the book was a lot more Fu-Manchu-ey than the movie as well.
