Never Say Never Again Reviews
Great Action Adventure Thriller
"Never Say Never Again" is a fantastic action thriller directed by Irvin Kershner. It is the remake of "Thunderball". However, it is still an enjoyable action packed adventure movie.
Sean Connery plays his role brilliantly, despite his age (53). This is vintage Sean Connery, an older, wiser and audacious man. He has not lost his touch with ladies. Kim gives a good performance as the bad guy's pal. Barbara Carrera performs her role as the sexy, clever and wicked Fatima Blush very well. Klaus Maria Brandauer is also a remarkable villain while Irvin Kershner's direction is commendable. Rowan Atkinson makes an interesting and amusing appearance.
Among some of my unforgettable scenes are the opening war-game teaser, the battle with Lippe at Shrublands, and a great motorcycle chase. Despite his age, Connery is surprisingly very fast, agile and very witty.
The plot is sound and interesting. A SPECTRE agent under the command of Ernst Blofeld infiltrates a US Air Force base located in the United Kingdom and steals two Tomahawk cruise missiles. James Bond must find them before they are detonated. The characterization is superb and I liked the ending.
Sean Connery returns again as "James Bond" at 52.
Thought that YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967) was Sean Connery's last "Bond" film? Well after they tried George Lazenby in the "James Bond" role in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (1969), they brought Sean Connery back for DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971).
However, 12 years later, Sean Connery returned to be "James Bond" one last time in NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN. This film is a rarity to see and is not part of the "official" James Bond package. It is declared "Unofficial" because it was made by a different production company, not EON Productions.. You will notice how different the film is by the style it is filmed in and the original MI6 cast members were not cast.
M (Edward Fox) believes that James Bond (Sean Connery) has slowed down with age and has been put on a strict diet. Bond reminds M that he now teaches and hasn't been used as a double 00. Don't worry. Bond will be right back in action as soon as he finishes his "therapy" with Miss Fearing (Prunella Gee).
Blofeld (Max Von Sydow) is back in action and will use Largo (Klaus Marie Brandauer) and Fatima Blush (Barbara Carrera) to avenge James Bond.
Bond's mission is to go to the Bahama's and get closer to Fatima Blush and in Nice he gets to massage Domino (Kim basinger). All in a day's work for James Bond.
Sean Connery was 52 at the time of filming and proved he was still in vigorous form.
This film was the longest "James Bond" film ever made at 2 hours, 17 minutes. Rated PG.
DVD includes spoken languages of English, Spanish. Subtitles: French, Spanish or choose none.
