Summary: I am sorry, its against Service policy to give endorsements
Review: Rank 18 of 23. Apparently, Connery was talked out of retirement again, though this was his last one. It is a semi-remake of thunderball, my favorite Fleming novel, but adds a cool ' unique villain in Fatima Blush. The whole cast is excellent and deep, trying to make up for the lack of the familiar supporting cast of a bond movie. I give it 3.5 stars as a movie, but I rank it 18th of 23 bond movies. This is also one of the few bond movies that has a scene I have to FF by when the children are watching due to a simulated sex scene on a boat.

Summary: I Never want to see "Never Say Never Again" again.
Review: From the dreadful opening, showing Sean Connery's age, to the lack of gunbarrel intro, THIS IS NOT BOND. There is a reason that this is not considered to be an actual 007 film, and the abscence of Bond's theme music shows it. This is more like a B-reel to Thunderball (using old character names, plots and locations). Very weak.

Summary: ALWAYS SAY NEVER NEXT TIME!
Review: WHAT IF someone else had the rights to do a needless retread
of THUNDERBALL? WHAT IF an elderly James Bond was called back into
service? WHAT IF Sean Connery said yes to this proposal? WHAT IF
Kim Basinger were a Bond girl? WHAT IF you were asked to believe
that Blofeld and SPECTRE were still around? WHAT IF there is
another Bond film in theatres at the same time? You have all your
answers to these questions embodied in a film call NEVER SAY NEVER
AGAIN. I just viewed this film for the first time and was compelled to share
my reaction to it with the world. What can I say? Having been a fan
of the Bond films for the last 24 years, I thought this particular
entry was a joke. The whole approach of a retired agent being
recalled for service to a now defunct "00" branch is the perfect set
up for a parody. The new cast (Q, M, and co.) simply doesn't work.
This may be my refusal to accept different actors in the familiar
roles, but I don't seem to suffer this problem in the newer Bond
films (THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS till now). Perhaps this is due to the
fact that the new films aren't using an aging performer in the
role of Bond. Sean Connery may have been the original Bond, but surrounding him with a completely new cast simply
comes off as laughable. Everyone may have been older than need be for a Bond film in A VIEW TO A
KILL, but the all important chemistry was still there! Not true in this particular installmet, which is devoid of everything that makes us love the real Bond movies! Kim Basinger???? I guess they thought this was inspired casting.
Inspired next to the rest of this films casting maybe, but not
beyond! To all of you who give this film good marks, do the
audiences really get thrilled over watching a relationship ensue while featuring such a large age gap? I can't speak for others, but I find this aspect of the film distasteful. The action. Again, uninspired, unthrilling, and laughable. This
film simply lacks everything that makes a Bond film enjoyable, from
the action to the gadgets, music, women, and a truly memorable
villain. This version of Largo is a joke. OOoooh, he will "polite"
James Bond to death. His menacing video game was the most IGNORANT
thing I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through. Oohh
the "suspense" of it! Just watch the obvious closeups of Kim Basinger
during this sequence for proof of the "suspense"! Truly a joke if I
have ever witnessed one! All in all, I cannot recommend this dribble to anyone! NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN, maybe Mr. Connery should have
said NEVER when asked to do this! This is the stinker of all Bond films. Stay away from it at all costs!

Summary: The film is better than this DVD shows!
Review: As this is review number 124 I didn't care to read everyone's opinion regarding this movie. Overall I think it's a decent film, leaning further to the campy style than Connery had in his previous Bond films. I own a widescreen video and the widescreen dvd. I kept the video for one good reason: THE DVD VERSION IS EDITED! When Bond enters the casino after disposing of the tubby bouncer with a cigarette case (or bomb with a tino gyroscope) the entire scene where he meets Domino (playing Centapede) is gone! As is the following scene where he buys her a drink (another "Hard or soft?" moment), as is the next scene when Largo meets Bond and invites him to play Domination with him! This entire sequence is cut! Why? I don't know. Maybe Atari objected. If you insist on buying every James Bond dvd, by all means, buy it. But be warned: you're not seeing the entire movie!

Summary: Not that good...
Review: I was really disappointed by this movie. In my opinion, it is the worst James Bond movie ever made. It is a remake of an earlier Sean Connery movie, Thunderball, which is a far, far superior 007 movie. This movie has an overall bland feeling to it because no one really seemed to care when making it. Connery was great as James Bond in the 1960s, but in this movie, he is much too old for the part. And since the movie was not made by MGM/UA, you don't get the usual actors portraying Q or M. I really don't think I'll watch this movie again. Stick with the original Sean Connery or Roger Moore James Bond movies.

Summary: What A Disgrace, Stay AWAY
Review: Wow i never thought that i would be saying this as an avid Bond fan but this movie is horrid. While none of the official 007 films were truly terrible. A couple of Roger Moore efforts less than spectacular. If i compare this to A view to a kill NSNA makes the latter seem like a great film. Here is what is wrong with the movie. The Plot- There is no plot it is just a remake of Thunderball. Something invloving a couple of nukes. They should have come up with a completely different plot line for this film. The Action-Man was this slow paced i am sorry they talk to much and for what little action there is it is not very exciting at all. The Performances-Sean Connery dusted off his tux for one last time and should have never done so. He is to old and is a little thicker around the waste. Hard to imagine love at first sight. Edward Fox as M, Compared to the Fatherly Bernard Lee, Edward Fox's interpretation is shrill and very irritating. Kim Basinger is stiff and not very alluring looks like she is crying all throughout the movie. probably because she found out that this was not an official bond film. Pamela Salem portrayed Miss Moneypenny, i can't pin point it but there something that i just do not like about this person. Lois Maxwell will always be the only Moneypenny. Kalus Maria Brandaur makes for a very uninteresting Largo. Barbra Carrera as Fatima Blush sutibly attractive but kind of over the top. The Direction- Slow paced and needed to be more action. Irvin Kishner to a huge step back with this because his previous was The Empire Strikes Back. The locations were very mundane and not very exotic. One thing Bond films have been. And finally
The Music-Here is where the movie suffers alot, First no Gun barrel opening sequence and no Pre title sequence, Sleep inducing theme song by lani Hall and Michel Legrands score now this was just one lazy careless score, The music is supposed to fit with what is going on in the film seems so out of place and from a different time and last but not least NO Jame Bond Theme you know it is a 007 film because of the classic theme somthing lacking. I just could not watch this film because everything seemed so wrong. This Movie is just an utter disgrace and Sean Connery should hold his head in shame for doing this movie He made 007 and always will be 007 in my book but this is what happens when Money talks. So if you want to see an offcial bond film from the same year watch Octopussy while not Moores best it is a fun film and his alot better than this piece of ... I would love to Give it zero stars but cant

Summary: farewell to bond
Review: This movie was a sweet farewelll to the only man who will ever really "be" Bond. 1983 was a wild year for Bond fans. We had NSNA and the abomination Octopussy in the theaters. NSNA is of course, a remake with a few plot differences of Thunderball. Kim Bassinger has the same blank look that she has in all her movies and her hair was so over bleached that it looked frizzy and darn near fried in every single scene. She's a long way down from Ursula Andress. The villain isn't as frightening as the original Largo. Still, NSNA is a terrific Bond fim because of Connery. Like all the Connery films the action is played seriously. There's humor of course but the movie itself isn't a joke like Octopussy.

Summary: BETTER THAN "OCTUPUSSY!"
Review: This is a great film in the 007 series. Although it isn't an "official" Bond film, it's better than "Octupussy" (the only Bond film with Roger Moore that wasn't that great, but was the only chance to see a Bond girl naked.). This is much better. A fitting final performance by Sean Connery in the role that made him famous. Get it and love it! Grade: A+

Summary: What Rubbish.
Review: This remake of Thunderball was actually made by Harry Saltzman's rights to the screenplay of the 1965 Bond movie of the same name,,and it ended up at a rival film studio that tried unsuccessfully later to cash in on the Bond movie rights which were owned by United Artists and Pinewood Studios in a court case that eventually ruled in favor of UA and Pinewood.
Anyway this movie is a waste of Connery's acting talents, Kim Basinger makes a lousy Bond girl and the screenplay really sunk to new lows.

Summary: The best Bond film amongst them all
Review: To me this is my favourite Bond Film, with My favourite Bond, Sean Connery, he has definitely made a great comeback, better than the rubbish 'Diamonds are Forever' where he was overweight and look slightly bored throughout. Some people critizise him for looking old, but you have to remember that Roger Moore at this stage was too, and he finished his last film at 58 years of age.I prefer this Largo to the one in Thunderball, this one is more smug and sarcastic, a bit like Bond in a way. Barbera Carrera is absolutely gorgeous and sexy as Kim Basinger is too. It is a shmae there isn't any Gun Barrel sequence or Bond theme, but the theme song by Lani Hill is catchy and the starting sequence where Bond comes to rescue a beatiful hostage is great. The climatic scene clould have been better but still there are very many memorable scenes, like bond's Fight with Lippe in Shrublands, very well directed, and of course the Motorcycle chase. This film is much better than some of Connery's earlier ones such as Dr No, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds are Forever and even Thunderball itself. Connery can still do it at 52, who knows he may yet return as James Bond. We'll have to wait and see. This is a film you can see over and over again and i hope it will be made official. Both Connery and Moore have done 7 Bond Films. Do not forget this film should be loved by everyone Bond Fan, don't be put off because it is made by another company.
