Bond: Never Say Never Again

Buy This Item Bond: Never Say Never Again by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $19.98  on 9-23-2008     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 <I>Thunderball</i>, 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 (<I>The Empire Strikes Back</i>) film is a chance to say a final goodbye to a perfect marriage of actor and character. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> Reader Reviews I have read these other reviews but everyone fails to mention the main selling point which is teh fact that Steven Seagal was the fight choreographer on this movie ! Its worth a look simply for that.
