DVD Never Say Never Again
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
good action, typical bond even though it was not part of the
"broccoli" series
Doesn't take itself too seriously.
...which is much more than I can say about the vast majority of the Brosnan Bonds -- which is unfortunate as Pierce had such a great sense of humor in Remington Steele. Never Say Never again does not have any of the trappings of the Ken Adam/John Barry masterpieces, but if you just accept it for what it is, and follow Connery's lead, it's pretty fun!
And there are some fabulous things in the film. Klaus Maria Brandauer gives one of the best performances ever as a Bond villain, and his torture-laden video game is brilliant. Some of the location work is excellent, as is the final set. Barabara Carrerra and Bond have a fabulous last scene together. Wrap it all up in a mega-camp theme song and Connery winking at the camera... you just gotta roll with it.
Welcome Back Sean
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN was a long time in coming for Sean Connery's return. In 1983 when this film was released he went up against Roger Moore's 007 in OCTOPUSSY. I think Connery's film was much better. It was one of the best Bond films since ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. I like it when Bond films take advantage of European locations as this one did. This is one of the better bond films. The music was the only thing wrong with it. I did not hear the James Bond theme at all in this movie.
When are they going to release a 2 disc special edition DVD of NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN? There should be plenty of extras to go around on this large scale Bond film.
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN has one of the best casts of actors of any James Bond film. Besides Sean Connery, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Max von Sydow, Bernie Casey and Edward Fox are outstanding and very strong actors. Kim Basinger and Barbara Carrera's over-the-top performance was a highlight. Even Rowan Atkinson was in there for good measure. Bond may have gotten wet in this one but his Martini certainly stayed dry!
John Huston was only one of five directors on this expensive, all-star 1967 spoof of Ian Fleming's 007 lore. David Niven is the aging Sir James Bond, called out of retirement to take on the organized threat of SMERSH and pass on the secret-agent mantle to his idiot son (Woody Allen). An amazing cast (Orson Welles, Peter Sellers, Deborah Kerr, etc.) is wonderful to look at, but the film is not as funny as it should be, and the romping starts to look mannered after awhile. The musical score by Burt Bacharach, however, is a keeper. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 15 October 2002 Usually ships in 24 hours

Phase II of the 007 film recapitulation gives the viewer access to five James Bond movies (Thunderball, The Spy Who Loved Me, View to a Kill, Die Another Day, and License to Kill). The restored quality of these films is fantastic, and the added bonus features takes the compilation to a higher level. When you watch these films, keep in mind the times they were created in before you pass them off as sophomoric. The technology we have to today, and fictionally used in more recent 007 movies, was not imaginable during the early sixties and seventies.
The criticism that comes from other reviewers over not having the option of purchasing these films separately is justified. For someone like me, who had only two previous Bond movies in his collection, the redundancy is not so...

GOLDFINGER never looked or sounded better. They did an outstanding job. The KungFu out-takes on THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN were outstanding. Those two girls were the real thing. The remastered sound on DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER raised this Connery Bond film to a new level. This is a great volume.

Goldeneye: The 18th James Bond adventure was a runaway box-office success when released in 1995, thanks to the arrival of Pierce Brosnan as the fifth actor (following the departure of Timothy Dalton) to play the suave, danger-loving Agent 007. This James Bond is a bit more vulnerable and psychologically complex--and just a shade more politically correct--but he's still a formally attired playboy at heart, with a lovely Russian beauty (Izabella Scorupco) as his sexy ally against a cadre of renegade Russians bent on--what else?--global domination. There's also a seductive villainous with the suggestive name of Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), and the great actress Judi...

Dr. No: Released in 1962, this first James Bond movie remains one of the best, and serves as an entertaining reminder that the Bond series began (in keeping with Ian Fleming's novels) with a surprising lack of gadgetry and big-budget fireworks. Sean Connery was just 32 years old when he won the role of Agent 007. In his first adventure James Bond is called to Jamaica where a colleague and secretary have been mysteriously killed. With an American CIA agent (Jack Lord, pre-Hawaii Five-O), they discover that the nefarious Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) is scheming to blackmail the U.S. government with a device capable of deflecting and destroying U.S. rockets launched...
