I actually liked it more than Diamonds are forever for starters and I also like the fact that they made bond play his age unlike what they were doing with Moore at the time.

Also I have to explain something else. This movie lives in a universe that ignores the after Connery Bond movies. It is like Bond returns in action after 1971. (last Connery film). He is now older. The years have passed and the position of M belongs now to a bureaucrat who disagrees with the old Bond methods. Also the 4rth wall was broken back in 1969. When. G. Lazenby referred to the audience, saying "This never happened to the other fela.. “ in OHMSS.

Never Say Never Again was a super millionaire production. The locations: France, London, Bahamas, Monte Carlo, Spain, etc., were chosen with great care. The yacht "Nabila" by tycoon Adnan Kashoggi, was the largest in the world at those times and the rent cost $ 20,000.00 each day! The YAMAHA factory built the motorcycle especially for Sean. The Director Irvin Kershner was the most expensive and successful of the moment. Kim Basinger and Barbara Carrera, the most beautiful actress of the moment; one brunette and the other blonde. Klaus María Bandauer was awsome! In short, N.S.N.A had to be filmed! Thanks Sean, thanks Mc.Klory, thanks Irvin and Klaus María!

I actually thought the Lani Hall Never Say Never soundtrack was good. Yeah it didn't fit the onscreen action but it wasn't suppose to and I'm really afraid of what they would have replaced it with. It was something new and different and I grew up listening to it as I've seen the movie many times. I would never remove it as it's a classic and part of my childhood. That being said I would have moved the song to the opening credits which didn't exist due that it not being a true Bond film. This is what I would have done. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZ9_rLp-qte6aJc.html

It’s a bit cheesy, but it’s sort of fun in its own way. It’s certainly more entertaining than “Thunderball”, as that really gets bogged down in the middle of the film. Trivia note, this is the only Bond film other than “Die Another Day” to feature a sex scene with Bond(Fatima and Bond getting it on in the boat). I wish Timothy Dalton had been able to do a “Thunderball” adaptation like it was rumoured(would have been called “Warhammer”), but it never happened.

Connery was 40 in DAF, and was looking rather worse for wear. He's 52 in NSNA, and looks amazing for his age, and in fact looks amazing compared to a LOT of people younger than him. This movie is nowhere near as bad as detractors claim. Definitely mid-grade Bond. Certainly a LOT better than several other Bond movies.

@ragnaroek69 11 ай бұрын

I have to say that I never seem to be on the same page with David when it comes to Bond movies. NSNA is what made me a Bond fan in the first place. Connery looks crisper than in the ridiculous Diamonds movie and never loses his twinkle in the eye. Granted, the movie has a lot of issues (e.g. the music) but it's not *that* bad.

Fantastic review of the film! It's always great to see Ellis on the channel. I watched this edit of the film with the music replaced with EON Bond music, and I thought it hurt the film more than the original music did. All it did was remind me of the better scenes where the music originally came from. I think that if the music had all come from one Bond film, like Thunderball, it would have at least given the film a consistent sound, but when the music comes from all over the Bond series it is very distracting and feels too fake. What I can't believe is that this film is from the same director as The Empire Strikes Back. David, Connery was one year older than you are now in NSNA, so that's what you have to look forward to next year. -MS

I saw this movie when I was a teenager, during the time I was really getting into James Bond fandom, I didn't think much of it and dismissed it as an inferior remake of Thunderball (1965). Interestingly, I just watched it past weekend and I found it slightly better than I remember it. I find Sean Connery charming as an older agent, Fatima Blush was a fun female villain, and I felt this version of Largo was a superior and a more compelling villain than presented in Thunderball. In addition, I did find most of the action sequences fun. However, the movie starts falling apart as it enters and goes through it's third act. The title song was quite bad and the music was not memorable at all, but standard for 1980's action movies. I felt Max Von Sydow was completely wasted and probably my least favorite version of Blofeld. M in this movie was very over the top and not very interesting, but Q and Nigel Small-Fawcett were quite fun. I can't say this movie is good, but it is entertaining and it does have some merit to it. I'd say it's an average action movie, 6/10. It's much better than it has any right to be.

Amusing observations. What’s with this ageism trend of late, though, especially with online (read: clueless male-heh heh; I kid; well, sort of) comments? Connery has the appeal of a man, not a boy. He looked sharp in Never as did Rog in Octopussy. Scenes where younger women are swooning over him makes (and has always made) total sense to me. It’s frickin’ Sean Connery! Don’t take my word for it. The central ladies engaging in scenes of amore with Connery all noted how much chemistry they felt with him: Basinger noting how she had sex fantasies about the man! His appeal is timeless!

Peter Shallis it’s ok if a big Bond fan but it’s not an official Eon Productions produced Bond film. It’s a remake of Thunderball so if you have seen Thunderball it has essentially the same plot and characters like Domino, Largo, Blofeld etc just different actors as Thunderball was in 1965 and only Connery back this time at age 52. Never Say Never Again was a decent movie and released in 1983 along with Octopussy so it was the battle of the Bonds that year with Roger Moore and Sean Connery going against each other. Connery actually looks at 52 in this then he did in 1971 when Diamonds Are Forever was released and he was only 40 then:

I think of people who don't like this movie as lacking a sense of humor. It isn't brilliant, and he is older, but Connery can get away with a lot, and he's still charismatic in this film. The supporting cast is phenomenal honestly. Having Barbara Carrera and Kim Basinger alone makes it great, and the villain is kind of weak, but sufficiently creepy. James Fox is a major name to have made it into the film. Not into the Q in this film, though.

Barbara Carrera stole the show, IMO. Definitely the best performance in the movie and one of the best female Bond characters, even if it isn't an official Bond movie. The movie seems to go downhill after Fatima is killed.

In the early 80's everyone was a Moore fan, Connery was the 'TV Bond', being a Connery fan, man was this so exciting but yes the music score sucked super arse but Brocoli tried every thing to derail this movie, including making it clear that he would not look favourably on Barry doing the score..Roger wanted to do a cameo too

I rewatched this movie this past weekend. It isn't a terrible film. There are slow bits, but Connery definitely seems to be enjoying himself. My whole problem with it is the horrible score. I do enjoy the main theme by Lani Hall and the trumpet versions of the theme by Herb Alpert. However, the rest of the soundtrack is awful. If someone like John Barry had been given a crack at this, it would have improved the film significantly.

I liked Connery in the film, the villainous Bond girl Fatima and the villain was alright- that's about it. The climax was somewhat anti- climatic and most of the film was forgettable. Also, I wasn't a fan of M in the film or Q- no one play the role better than Desmond. Lastly, it didn't have the typical pre-credit sequence other Bond films have.

it should have been the best bond - at least for its time - it was post raiders ( how to make a great action adventure film ) . directed by irvin kershner ( empire strikes back ) it was post moonraker ( How Not to make a bond movie ) .unfortunately It was a wasted opportunity . i dont mind the jazzy bits from the original score but michel legrand couldnt do tension or scale and his original score was a bit like the pink panther. The film also suffered from some very muted and clunky action scenes .

David is looking increasingly like Kevin Costner here. Maybe he should review No Way Out?

@markymark2819 4 жыл бұрын

Edward Fox who played M is an accomplished actor, its a shame to see his M being so OTT. Q was played by the late Alec McGowen who is terrific in the Hitchcock film Frenzy and a stunning stage actor, again its a waste seeing him play such a poor Q.

I reviled this movie. I have tried a few times to see if it would find its way into my interest but it is just too inexcusable for me.

I really hate Never Say Never Again. I know it is superfluous to need the Bond tropes, but for me it is integral to the series. But aside from that, the movie is filmed in such a flat, boring way. Hideous cinematography. How did Irvin Kershner go from The Empire Strikes Back to this? This is a bad remake of the much superior Thunderball. The only plus this movie has is Barbara Carrera as Fatima Blush, who was offed way too early in the film. Max Von Sydow was great as Blofeld, but we get so little of him.

I'm suprised that you didn't cover what what your son thought of Max Von Sydow as Blofeld

@RolandHulme 4 жыл бұрын

Imagine if Blofeld had Bond tied up, and you were expecting a scene of horrible and creative torture... And instead, he just tickled him. That's what it is to watch Never Say Never Again without the original score!!!

This was my first Bond film, stuck on an international flight at age 9. I honestly thought, "Does this movie have a plot at all? Why do people like these?" It was redeemed with Living Daylights and Octopussy on VHS later on.

@MrDublin2 5 күн бұрын

Yes - the plot is 2 atomic warheads had been stolen by the SPECTRE criminal agency and threatened to blow-up a major city unless their demands were met. So Bond is assigned to crack the outfit. Also, It was miles better than the campy Octopussy!.

@SNEED456 4 жыл бұрын

Fatima was good villainess, a true hysterical psycho. Agree on Spectre, thought it has grown on me a bit, having charming details, but pretty awful on the whole. As a feminist critic put it, the Craig films, at least past CR, are as if put together by someone with a guilty conscience.

I don't mind an older Bond but he did look pretty old even for his age. The best thing in this movie was the Bond girl Fatima Lush imo.

Not as old as Moore - he was 58 when he did his final outing. Connery was just 52 in NSNA.

I don't give a Monkeys what anyone thinks - I really enjoyed NSNA - it certainly beat the embarrassing Octopussey! Maximillian Lago was convincingly played, and Fatima Blush was the most sinister of female villains (with possibly the exception of Rosa Klebb) Max Von Sydow made a very menacing Blofeld - much better than the Campy Charles Gray in DAF; and Connery clearly IS James Bond & sets the benchmark for anyone else!
