Summary: One of the best James Bonds
Review: I think this James Bond movie is one of the best in the collection. I have this at my house in VHS, but I am getting this movie on DVD when it comes out to complete my DVD collection of James Bond.

Summary: Never remake THUNDERBALL again
Review: NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN was Sean Connery's return as Bond for one final shot as one of screens most famous heros. The movie is a little overboard on fun and silliness and is a very similar story to Seans most famous Bond movie THUNDERBALL. James Bond (Connery-still good) is somewhat retired and not as fit as he once was as the movie opens and is told to get in shape at a health spa if he is to continue his duties as a government agent. Meanwhile the fiendish criminal group S.P.E.C.T.R.E. has got plans to steal nuclear weapons from a NATO bomber and have their agent Largo hold the world ransom with the bombs. Bond must track down Largo and the bombs before it is too late and millions are killed. Connery is trying to fit in what was at the time the Moore era of Bond movies and while Connery still is a great James Bond despite his age, the Moore films were much more different then the older Connery capers. Moores' movies went for fun and stunts Connery's were serious and had more down and dirty spy action. The silliness abounds on many levels such as when S.P.E.C.T.R.E. sends a destructive oaf to kill Bond at the health club and ends up wrecking just about everything but Bond. Or the fact that Largo is nowhere NEARLY as menacing or mean as the Largo in THUNDERBALL. One true highlight of the film is the villiness Fatima Blush who is an outragously wild hit woman who wants to make sure that she gets Bond. I will give Fatima 1 star and the rest of the movie 2. This movie is fun and only fun nothing more. But if you want to see Connery's last shot as Bond in a film, this is it.

Summary: Neither a comedy nor an action
Review: The film was far below expectations. Connery was too old and compare to his natural Bond movies he was a pale old Bond who wasn't in style at all. Largo's character was also a wrong choice- the actor was too mild and comic for Largo, especially ugly was a scene where Bond and Largo played a computer-game: instead of showing "serious" Bond making high bets on casino , the scene seemed to be made for kids who enjoy computers. I even don't understand if the film was a plage, comedy or did the producers really want to produce a cheap action where just a name Bond sells high profits. Rowan "Bean" Atkinson didn't also fit to his part. Finally, the good thing is that the movie I call Connery's worst is not officially listed as a Bond movie.

Summary: First Unofficial Bond Flick Slightly Lacks
Review: Although immortal Sean Connery DID star as James Bond in his hopefully final 007 movie, Warner's unofficial "Never Say Never Again" lacks the necessary goods to making a Bond movie. But there is goods to it: Sean Connery, Barbara Carrera, Kim Basinger, and Klaus Maria Brandauer all star, and "Empire Strikes Back" director also does his job. But the bad: Kevin McClory, "Thunderball" remake, and bad story line. Infact, McClory is making ANOTHER "Thunderball" remake called "Warhead 2001" this next year. Only a true Bond collector, like myself, would be forced to buy. But if you are not, and just like 007 a BIT, then my advice would be to stay away.

Summary: ho-hum bond
Review: not one of my favorite bond flicks - and i consider myself a fan. an interesting cast with carerra being the most fun. starting with the name (fatima blush) and ending with a pair of smoking shoes.for those of you haven't seen this, it's a remake of thunderball. names have been changed (but not very much) and the locale is in some different places. the producers wanted to make a bond flick, but only had the rights to thunderball. since it wasn't part of the normal producing team, you notice the missing elements - the biggest being the lack of the monty norman james bond theme. a lot of the music is somewhat cheesey as are many of the special effects. not quite sure why they made this film - other than the opportunity to watch a noticeably older, huffing and puffing connery try to prove that he's still an action hero (sorry folks, he isn't). probably worth it for the die-hard fans, but i place this up there with those other bonds that haven't aged as well as some of the others.

Summary: Never Say Never Again...
Review: This is an unofficial 007 James Bond movie. That means that it is not produced by the same company as the others bond films. Although the movie is great with breathtaking action and beatifull girls. Sean Connery does it all! I hope that the DVD will include cool extra staff... Don't miss this movie!

Summary: Never but again ?
Review: When Sean Connery Left his role of james bond after diamonds are forever, he say "Never Say Never Again". But Nobody is perfect so he accept in 1983 to make a new james bond movie which is in fact a remake of the fourth james bond "Thunderball". The film is good, like the actors, but the problem is that this movie is not made by EON productions (the producters of all james bond movies), that mean that there is no james bond music, no Q, no gunbarrel, no good song etc... If had to choose between Never Say Never Again or Octopussy (the official bond in 83) i will choose this last, because there is ll the ingredient of a bond movie. But if you are a james bond fan like me, you must see this movie, because Sir Sean Connery is in, and this is the big point of this film. ENJOY !

Summary: Bad choice, Sean
Review: Sean Connery came back in 1983 for Never Say Never Again. Though it is a treat to see Connery again, NSNA is a very thin effort. Just like the other unofficial Bond, Casino Royale (1967) the cast is very distinguished, including Oscar winner Kim Basigner (L.A. Confidential), Oscar nominees Klaus Maria Branduaer (Out of Africa) and Max Von Sydow (Pelle The Conquerer), and Barbara Carrera, none of them can measure up to their predecessors. Connery himself delivers a good performance, yet he looks a bit too old. The motorcycle chase is entertaining but silly and unrealistic. The fight at Shrublands is boring and isn't even underwater.The plot is a basic retread of Thunderball (because NSNA is actually a remake of it) and though it has a few new twists, they realy don't make the film better at all. I like the casino scenes yet the video game duel is so childish. Also, did I mention that Largo isn't a great fighter, doesn't wear his trademark eyepatch, and isn't menacing? The song and score aren't very good, but one of the worst things is there is no Robert Brown, Lois Maxwell, or Desmond Llewelyn, and there replacements are very silly, especially Moneypenny and M. Overall, I don't recommend this film and try Thunderball instead.
