Wayne K @RT88290232 May 10 Connery was famously reluctant to play Bond towards the end of his tenure, but its incredible how quickly a big fat pay check can change a persons mind. Never Say Never Again was, to my surprise, far better than I’d been led to believe. Yes, the budget shortcomings are obvious in the editing, the fight choreography and the inconsistent cinematography, legends like Max Von Sydow are completely wasted on point roles and the central storyline about the stolen nuclear warheads is pushed to the background for most of the runtime. But Connery is clearly more invested this time round, the Bond girls are given a lot more to do than usual and it manages to be meta about the age of its lead without becoming grating or obnoxious. It might be seen as an outlier in the series, but that doesn’t mean its not enjoyable.

La sceneggiatura non è di grande valore e non mostra originalità; spicca in negativo la sequenza della fuga a cavallo dalla rocca, che mostra una CGI a dir poco terribile; mentre spicca in positivo l'ultima buona sequenza sotterranea. Film che finisce per essere una specie di prequel di cui non si sentiva particolare necessità. See more Bryan H. @BHilferty Mar 21 Worst Bond movie ever. Really just silly See more Mark S. @sparkysnyder Feb 25 Glad Sean Connery moved on. Deserving of his Oscar in the Untouchables See more Alec B @Alec97 Feb 15 I guess it's fun that Connery came back (and they do acknowledge his age here effectively) but it's rather dull frankly and even accidentally becoming a parody of itself on occasion. Mostly feels like the only justification for this was they could remake "Thunderball" because of a weird legal loophole and didn't think beyond that. Probably for the best this offshoot series died here. See more John K @WQCMI Feb 7 Better than Casino Royale 1967, but that's not saying much. I like the return of Sean Connery and the arcade scene was brilliant, but the story is loosely a remake of Thunderball and the villain is, by default, one of the worst antagonists I've ever seen in the Bond franchise overall.
