Never Say Never Again - Crap or great?

Hmm?

every movie has their ups and downs... DaD barely had any ups, but that's for another thread

'twas in the spirit of the time and other movies ok-ish

I didn't really think it was that good, it was just a remake of thunderball and Sean Connery was getting pretty old at the time.

but Irvin Kershner directed it 😉

NSNA had a great title {the way in which it riffed on one of Sean Connery's comments about "never" becoming bond again after DAF was great}. Too bad about the movie. Uninspired, hokey SFX {even by the standards of the day}, and possibly THE WORST HAIRPIECE SINCE WILLIAM SHATNER!

there there, there are other wigs that are terrible too 😉

I like eating burnt penguins, especially when they have got choco sprinkles on them! 😛

^ dont ask 😖

🙄 people and their penguins these days

connery had been done beign bond for quite a wile.. he did an excellent in the job the only thign saving it from tanking.. but WB made this movie and it isnt even considered one of the official 20 "bond movies" it was ok.. but ill take the original Thunderball any day

It wasn't half-bad despite it plainly ripping off Thunderball.

Errr... it's SUPPOSED to riff on it! It's a remake!!!

It sucks! Not even a Real bond movie cause WB did it and no MGM/UA.

I didn't like it. JMO 😄

it was average. not as good as Thunderball, but better than connery's previous & last official effort, diamonds are forever, and much better than Octopussy which was moore's contemporary official MGM offering, in cinemas at the same time way back in the early eighties. (you know what they say about the 80s: if you can remember them, you were there!)

Good, but not as good as it could have been.

Shaun Connery is still plating action roles now, so I wouldn't be over surprised if they let him make another bond as a one off again, or just let him have a cameo role or a supporting role in another bond movie (maybe as a retired mi6 agent)

Apparantly, he was going to play James Bond Sr. in DAD... which is probably crap of course since it was established in "Goldeneye" that Bond's parents are both dead after a climbing accident!

could have played his foster father/father figure in mi6

they always say stuff like that, hoping sean wil return

And as a final "Bump", I present to you the first ever thread I made in this forum {using a sock, as you can see, but let's try and forget about that, eh?}

Hmmm - Sean {that's right, not "Shaun"} Connery in another Bond film? Bah! Too old I say! And too confusing too!

Oh, and about that earlier comment that "octopussy" is worse than "never say never again"? Get outta here!

you'll get banned now 😱

and connery won't return to bond
