Gets the slight edge over THUNDERBALL only in the action department; the underwater sequences have some actual speed and dynamism, and there's a pretty nifty auto chase with a couple sweet jumps and car flips (although this may simply be the result of better available…

I’m kind of glad this exists as a weird, parallel reality Bond film but damn is it a slog. Connery is on good form and Barbara Carrera is a blast but that’s where the positives end for me. Never liked the villain and the music is positively ruinous.
Calvin DysonJan 26, 2026I was raised by a Bond fan who insisted this was not an “official” James Bond movie and didn’t own a copy of it, so while I’ve seen bits and pieces of it on cable many times, I think this is technically my first full start-to-finish viewing. A few pleasantly surreal…
Matt SingerApr 10, 2026I didn't like Thunderball, so it isn't too surprising that I don't like the remake of Thunderball either! The underwater stuff wasn't as bad. The Bond being old references is funny since Connery is 3 years younger than Moore who still was the current 007. Bond Films ranked

100-word review: Another Thunderball, no really. "Sean Connery is James Bond 007" says the tagline of Never Say Never Again — beckoning no insecurity rivalling Eon Productions' franchise at all — and he very well could be (although I'm not certain director Irvin Kershner…
DeckkDec 18, 2023Oh my god, from The Empire Strikes Back to a remake of a James Bond film with the same James Bond. Why did you do this to yourself? It’s pretty boring, didn’t learn from the previous underwater scenes it seems. Probably even worse that this film never led anywhere. Johnny…
gregs1999Apr 27, 2022Thunderball, take two. This has less spectacle than the original, but it in a way it feels fitting for a movie with an older Bond. Never Say Never Again has very solid bad guys in Klaus Maria Brandauer, Barbara Carrera (🔥) and Max von Sydow (he needed to have more…

Imagine the last 30 minutes of a bond movie which are the most boring bits of the whole franchise and that’s the whole movie. Connery is good but he should have stayed gone and blofeld is massively underused on the plus side the woman villian is a good actor overall mediocre 6/10
The Punisher likedNever Say Never AgainI really liked this Bond film! Seeing Connery’s 007 come back, getting older, and doing his thing. Small downsides: No iconic intro, no classic title card sequence, and no theme song at all! Obviously it doesn’t take you out of it tho lol Vicky Vale & Mr. Bean are also in it
Henry dislikedNever Say Never AgainFeels like a rehash of Diamonds Are Forever—uninspired and pointless. Connery, too old and out of place, struggles to portray a suave, womanizing spy. The film falls flat, feeling cringe-worthy and unentertaining from start to finish. Rating: H- 2/10

I’ll lump all the James Bond films up to Casino Royale into one review. I love them all and there’s very few instalments that I don’t enjoy. I hope they keep making them till the day I die, fantastic films! 13/07/2023 (Historical Review)

What makes Never Say Never Again more fun than most of the Bonds is more complex than that. For one thing, there's more of a human element in the movie, and it comes from Klaus Maria Brandauer, as Largo. Brandauer is a wonderful actor, and he chooses not to play the villain as a cliché. Instead, he brings a certain poignancy and charm to Largo, and since Connery always has been a particularly human James Bond, the emotional stakes are more convincing this time.

Connery was perhaps wise to call it quits the first time round.
