A really fun unofficial Bond movie
Added 1/15/2010
I've always like Never Say Never Again, though I acknowledge its flaws. I liked that the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and prefer that Bonds age was embraced rather than ignored. I liked the way the movie poked fun at the conventions of a bond movie while using them, and frankly loved seeing connery as bond again. While I won't pretend it was the trendsetter of goldfinger or thunderball (of which it was based), I was far more entertained with it than You only live twice. A very good movie.
With the blu ray I wanted to point out that it looks vastly superior to the original released dvd, yet doesn't shine the way modern Blu-ray movies do, not that it is expected. I also rather enjoyed the special features, though wish sean connery himself was interviewed. Overall, I can't imagine a better way to enjoy this movie, and if your a bond fan at all, it should be in your collection. Recomended.

Good quality. It matches well with the 3 box sets I have of all the other bond movies. I'm glad it was made, but sad it wasnt put in the box sets. I understand why....but whatever. Still good stuff.

do it just one last time with class when Moore portrayed a buffoon in the same year. It's great to get a beautiful transfer of the movie that will last beyond my life to boot!

The worst of the best.
Added 11/19/2009
The James Bond movies constitute one of the greatest movie franchises in history. This is the worst of the entire series. This being said, it is still pretty good. Sean Connery was at an all time low between his fit and smart-aleck youth and his suave, poised maturity. The script was lifted from Thunderball. The gimicks and gadgets weren't terribly creative.
Still, it moves at a good pace, the jokes are OK, the villians are fairly sinister, Kim Basinger gives a passable performance, and if you're not comparing it to other Bond films, it is pretty good.
Even at its worst, Bond is still better than most.
