Summary: I'LL SAY WHAT I PLEASE!
Review: This is incontestably the worst Bond film of all. When he was younger Connery suited the role of smooth thug James Bond, but in this he's just a hulking great plank with all the style of a very wooden piece of furniture. A cabinet perhaps. The other performances are even worse. Ever wonder why you don't see klaus Maria Brandauer in any american fims these days? This film is the answer. From his opening scene he reveals himself to be possibly the nicest villain ever to appear in a Bond film. He doesn't look like he could swat a fly never mind hold the world to ransom with nuclear weapons. And if he's the richest man in the world (apparently he's worth hundreds of billions!) what's the point? He bounds on screen and introduces himself to his evil henchmen with the terrifying greeting "Morning Charles". He then procedes to wish a good morning to all those participating in the end of the world. What's his problem? When Connery and Brandauer are on screen together you see the opposite ends of the acting spectrum collide, one can barely move, the other can't sit still. I could go on but there would be no point, there is absolutely nothing good about this film at all. Effects terrible, dialogue worse, plot inane, performances grounbreaking(ly bad) and music dismal.

Summary: outside my comfort zone
Review: I like James Bond, no matter which actor plays the role. Connery is the original Bond and a tough act to follow. Moore is suave but a bit wimpish. Dalton looks like a Shakepearean Bond. Brosnan doesn't even act English. But I felt comfortable with them all under EON/UA because of the Bond theme, gun barrel intro and the things that make Bond -Bond (M, Llewelyn as Q, etc.). NSNA has the same Bond characters but they all seem like strangers to me, even SEAN. The plot and story lines are good but the absence of the music and even the familiar and peculiar sound of Bond's pistol makes this movie uncomfortable to viewers who savor the stereotyped Bond movies. But here is hope. If EON can refurbish the movie (now that MGM owns it) by putting on the usual Bond trimmings (BOND theme, gun barrel intro, etc.) NSNA stands a chance to be a top Bond grosser after a reissue. Hey, they spruced up the Star Wars trilogy and every one liked it, so why not NSNA. Purists should not complain since a refurbishing will make NSNA a true Bond film in every sense of the word since Connery is in the movie.

Summary: Superspy Supertoupe
Review: Bond meets old age, Sean Connery deserves an award for the Worst hairpiece in cinema history, really, I think he has a dead chiwawa on his head. This film was released to try and rival the then sitting Bond Roger Moore and it lost dismally. Never a serious rival to Moore, Connery sends himself up in rather unnecessary style, rather reminiscant of Roger Moore in the Cannonball Run. This by the way is a remake of THUNDERBALL, the only Bond script Kevin McCleary owns the rights to. And wait for it there are plans to remake this. Again with Sean Connery, assumedly now in a nursing home, Bond fans everywhere unite...DONT DO IT KEVIN!

Summary: Never Say Never Again
Review: I can't understand why this is classified as a unofficial Bond movie , there is no such thing as a bad James Bond movie . I loved this one as much as the others , i grew up watching Bond movies and of course every boy wanted to be 007 , it was our way of escaping the drum of normal life and fueled our imagination , I watch a bond movie every now and then and still get the same thrill out it . This is the only James Bond movie that i do not own and would love to see it rereleased to give the people that dont own it a chance to bye it

Summary: Big mistake, Sean.......
Review: Whilst there are a few devout Connery fans who like this film, I have to say that "Never Say Never Again" is a pretty sorry excuse for a Bond film. For a start, whilst watching it you just KNOW it wasn't made by EON/UA, because it really doesn't have the same feel as the "official" Bond entries. The editing is shoddy, the sound track is even worse, the underwater climax is weak, the fight in the health club is too long, and the entire film is just a remake of "Thunderball". Thunderball was a brilliant Bond film, so why did they have to mess with it? NSNA is also missing the famous gun barrel opening, a proper precredits sequence, and the regular crew who play M, Q, and Miss Moneypenny. But there are good points as well, namely Connery's return, Kim Basinger as Domino, and Largo's "Domination Game". However the verdict is that NSNA has to rank below every official Bond film (except 1989's "Licence To Kill"). No more remakes, please. Now I hear Pierce Brosnan is thinking of remaking On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Oh well, at least that's one Bond film that needs remaking....

Summary: Connery is Bond
Review: Sean Connery is the king of Bonds. It is a shame that we Connery and James Bond fans can not have this video for our collection. This is one of my favorite Bond films. Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton are good Bonds but Connery will always be the best. I have every James Bond movie on video except this one and can't believe Never Say Never Again is no longer availabe. Let's hope it is available again soon. Ignore the ignorance of those who give this a low rating. Anyone who loves Bond and Connery should love this. Who cares if it's a Thunderball re-make. It has Sean Connery and that should be enough for anyone. Loved it! And want it in my collection.

Summary: the worst Bond ever!
Review: this had to have been the absolutely dumbest 007 film i have seen! The cast was pleasing but the original movie, THUNDERBALL, was tens of hundreds of times better! the intro was tickling but not innovative enough. The cool suaveness Sean Connery had in the earlier films was not apparent. All in all, this was a weak attempt to update one of the best 007 films in history, which of course was "Thunderball"
