After years of enduring Roger Moore in the role of James Bond, it was good to have Sean Connery back in this 1983 film for a one-time-only trip down 007's memory lane. Connery's Bond, a bit of a dinosaur in the British secret service at (then) 52, is still in demand during times of crisis. Sadly, the film is not very good. In this rehash of Thunderball, Bond is pitted against a worthy underwater villain (Klaus Maria Brandauer); and while the requisite Bond Girls include beauties Kim Basinger and Barbara Carrera, they can't save the movie. The script has several truly dumb passages, among them a (gasp) video-game duel between 007 and his nemesis that now looks utterly anachronistic. For Connery fans, however, this widescreen print of the Irvin Kershner (The Empire Strikes Back) film is a chance to say a final goodbye to a perfect marriage of actor and character. --Tom Keogh

the movie is good itself, but the dvd quality is not. Maybe it is too old, needed to be remastered.

A really fun unofficial Bond movie

I've always like Never Say Never Again, though I acknowledge its flaws. I liked that the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and prefer that Bonds age was embraced rather than ignored. I liked the way the movie poked fun at the conventions of a bond movie while using them, and frankly loved seeing connery as bond again. While I won't pretend it was the trendsetter of goldfinger or thunderball (of which it was based), I was far more entertained with it than You only live twice. A very good movie.

With the blu ray I wanted to point out that it looks vastly superior to the original released dvd, yet doesn't shine the way modern Blu-ray movies do, not that it is expected. I also rather enjoyed the special features, though wish sean connery himself was interviewed. Overall, I can't imagine a better way to enjoy this movie, and if your a bond fan at all, it should be in your collection. Recomended.
