never say never is almost as bad as on her majestys secret service.this poor attempt to remake thunderball is awful,no gun barrel scene in which all bond movies start out.they talk about bond being old,a diffrent m,moneypenny,and q.blofeld is diffrent too.see thunderball.

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!
 Never Say Never Again January 23, 2000

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
A Worthy comeback for the actor most suited to this role January 19, 2000

It was a movie that a lot of people wish had never been made. Despite holding the rights to the novel Thunderball, in 1983 Sean Connery was divorced from the Bond film machinery that was that same year churning out the lacklustre Octopussy with Roger Moore. So it means the film is without a John Barry soundtrack, the custimary M, Q, & Moneypenny actors, and a Pinewood Set.Having said that Connery aquits himself admirably in the role, just avoiding looking as old as Roger Moore. There was no reason Connery shouldn't have played Bond during the entire Moore Era, as this film proves. The script, with contributions from Dick Clement and Ian Le Frenais sparkles with wit and is helped by such star turns as Rowan Atkinson, Klaus Maria Von Brandauer, and Kim Basinger. Yes, the plot is the same as Thunderball, but this overlooks the fact that there is only one James Bond plot anyway. A re-release on video' is well overdue.
Big mistake, Sean....... January 16, 2000

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....
