DVD Reviews of Never Say Never Again
DVD Review: DVD just fine
Summary: 4 Stars
Just got my DVD. The scene is there and intact.
This is a non-remastered DVD. Still in 2.0 stereo sound and with minimal extras.
The movie is great. Good to see Connery back and in charge. One of the funnest rides I've had in a long time.
If not for the aged print and stereo sound, this could easily be a 5 star product. Highly recommended for any fan of 007 or the action/spy genre in general.
DVD Review: Dumb and Dumber Actresses
Summary: 1 Stars
Whether by direction or lack of script, these two women are terrible in this movie. I know its camp but man, this was bad. At least I could have laughed through it.DVD Review: Decent, But Not As Good Has Hyped And Hoped
Summary: 3 Stars
I think ths James Bond movie is a bit overrated by professional critics because they were so happy to see Sean Connery end his 12-year hiatus from playing Bond that they didn't dare criticize the film.
What disappointed me most was the ending. After investing two hours into the film, you expect a less-hokey, more satisfying ending. Also - and this may be nitpicking, but I was disappointed in not seeing the regular actors in the supporting roles such as Miss Moneypenny, Q, Felix Leiter, etc.
On the positive side, there was plenty of unique action scenes, particularly early on, and the two villains were interesting. I thought Klaus Maria Brandauer was the more intriguing of the two because he was so low-key and looked the "nice guy next door." He wasn't your normal Bond villain.
This had plenty of "skin," for a PG movie, especially with Kim Basinger starring, never being an actress known for hiding her figure. All in all, it's a "fair" Bond and nothing else. Just because Connery is in it, it doesn't mean it's automatically good. Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan proved they could play the role well, too.
DVD Review: A truly underrated gem.
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this movie. But, be forewarned, I also love License To Kill. These are two Bond movies that seem to have either love 'em or hate 'em appeal. I guess because they stray a bit from the norm. This one's maligned because it's not an "official" James Bond film. It's got a few faults, but those are heavily outweighed by the good. In fact, I find myself wanting to re-watch this one more than quite a few other Bond films. It's very refreshing seeing Bond as a human being. Connery's body, like his car, shows wear, but as he puts it best, "it's still in pretty good shape." In fact, the fights in this one are very believable. Sean has a tough time of it in many situations and has to actually think his way out of the box which is extremely refreshing. I've always found real guys struggling to fight their way out of tough situations more exciting than super hero types versus human punching bags which is all too prevalent in films. Here's a quick list of the bad just to get it over with (and to prove I'm not one of those love all Sean Connery Bond guys): no Monty Norman Bond theme (man! but they didn't have the rights), the actor playing M plays it mockingly, Rowan Atkinson's bumbling dufus is totally out of place in this fairly serious entry, not Desmond Llewelyn as Q, some may find the video game scene dated, some may find the running time a little long. Now for the good (oh, yeah!): Connery is fantastic (human, charming, witty, tough, etc.), Barbara Carrera creates one of the sexiest and most wicked Bond villainesses ever, Kim Basinger is smokin' hot, Brandauer's Largo (the main baddie) is one of the slimiest and realistic Bond villain's in history, gorgeous locations and beautiful underwater photography, suspenseful shark scene, the exploding pen (boom!), a terrific opening twist, witty one-liners spoken to perfection by Connery ("I made you all wet.", "Yes, but my martini's still dry."; "Mr. Bond, I need a urine sample. Could you fill this beaker for me?", "From here?"; "You know that making love to Fatima was the greatest pleasure of your life.", "Well, to be perfectly honest, there was this girl in Philadelphia...", "SHUT UP!", ETC.). If you haven't seen this one, definitely check it out. It's a blast!
DVD Review: Never Say Never Again Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this James Bond film doesn't get the credit of being one, this is an awesome 007 movie! Sean Connery and his costars Kim Basinger and Barbara Carrera are stunning as usual. Great film. Sure to be a pleaser if you have not yet seen it.
Description of Never Say Never Again
Sean Connery is back for his final performance as superagent James Bond in this high-velocity action thriller from the director of The Empire Strikes Back. When two atomic warheads are hijacked by the evil SPECTRE organization, Agent 007 is hurled into an explosive, pulse-pounding race to save the world from nuclear terrorists!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
