Review of Never Say Never Again (1983) by Simon H — 13 Mar 2008
Never Say Never Again was the second unofficial 007 film to be made, with this one competing with Octopussy. The biggest problem about this film is having an ageing Sean Connery. He is just too old to convince the audience he is Bond, especially with the grey hair. His voice doesn't help either.
Its also too hard to try and forget about the other Bond films at the same time. Their version of Moneypenny is too similar to Lois Maxwell, whilst M and Q are the complete opposites. In this Bond world, Q Brach looks like a junkyard and all the 00s have been retired.
The music is OK for what's it's supposed to be, but don't expect any Bond sounds. Overall, the film becomes a just normal action feel, which feels as if they a basing it on Bond. You can reach the end or give up whilst watching it, it really depends on how you feel.
