Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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

Worst Bond Film ever.......2007-06-25
While watching this film I was disgusted, not only was it a blatent rip-off of Thunderball, but they tried to be funny in this movie, which in my opinion they completely failed, if you are thinking about buying this movie, I would rent it first. This movie may appeal to some, but thank God I saw it on TV, because if I would have bought this movie I would have been even sicker than I was after watching this travesty. You have me correct this movie made me sick, now all may not feel the same as I, but if you are thinking about buying this movie, and you haven't seen it yet. I would suggest renting, though if you really like the movie, or you are a completest, Bond fan, well then go for it. Though in my opinion, this is the worst Bond movie I've seen, especially the worst Sean Connery "Bond" film I've seen. Though I must say Kim Basinger was very hot. So I leave the decision up to you.
uhhhhhhhhh................2007-06-14
As much as I liked Connery as Bond, I just didn't like this movie.
DOWN WITH REMAKES!.......2007-05-27
I've never been a big fan of remakes. It seems to be particularly annoying with this one, since the main actor was also the one who starred in the original. This would seem to make re-hashing this movie a pointless endeavour. Why not just watch the original? I find it hard to believe that so many other reviewers have said this is a good movie.
Bond Fans will Enjoy This Movie.......2007-05-24
Even though it isn't officially part of the Bond series as far as canon is concerned, "Never Say Never Again" is still a solid Bond film that all fans need to buy if they have never seen it and want their collection complete. Sean Connery, who is actually younger than Roger Moor who was doing Octopussy at the same time, shows that he is Bond and no one can play that character the way he does. The only thing this movie doesn't is other familiar actors known in the Bond series, different people playing Moneypenny, M, Q and the first African American to play Felix (Casino Royale wasn't the first) is seen in this movie.
There are a few future stars in this film, mainly the sexy Kim Basinger and the funny Rowan Atkinson who would later be known as Mr. Bean! Yes, Mr. Bean is in this movie. Overall, this is fun and never loses the Bond spirit. The movie is fun, which is the intention since Sean said prior to the film that he would never play Bond again, which they joke reference at the end of the movie and were they got the title of the movie from. This is definitely worth buying, it is rarely seen on TV and won't probably ever be included in a set of Bond movies, but it is still worth buying separately.
farewell to the original Bond.......2007-03-11
I have mixed emotions towards this film. It is quite unique as it is not really part of the Bond series, yet it still is. It was produced by the company that had the copyright of the script but not the movie series so it lacks the traditional Bond theme and it was released the same year as Octapussy and they competed against each other.
This was also Connery's last perfomance as James Bond and lathough he is nowhere close to his originla 60's perfomances he is way better than Roger Moore. The script is a remake of Thunderball but not as good as the original and it does have some flat points.
If one judges this film with today's standarts then the film is quite weak- however if you judge it with the rivals of its time then this film does have merit. Klaus Maria Brandauer is a wondeful villain but on the other hand Kim Basinger perfomance is rather poor.
All in all this film is worth seeing if you are a Bond fun but do not have high expectations and that way you will enjoy it

Time Heals Old Wounds.......2006-10-09
This is really not a bad James Bond film. It has Sean Connery. He's an older Bond and he may walk through many of the scenes in this film, but it is still Sean Connery as James Bond. It is not part of the Bond franchise and is a bit of a maverick but who really cares at his point. From a cinematic point of view, the script could have been a little tighter and the score should have and still can be revamped. I would have to say that certain portions of the score really hurt this film.
Oustanding performances by Klaus Maria Brandauer (OUT OF AFRICA) as Maximilian Largo, Max von Sydow (THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD) as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Barbara Carrera as Fatima Blush, Kim Basinger as Domino Petachi, Bernie Casey (GUNS OF THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN) as Felix Leiter, Alec McCowen (Hitchcock's FRENZY) as Q 'Algy' Algernon, Edward Fox (FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE) as M, and Valerie Leon (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME).
