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

Reviews for Never Say Never Again
Connery has style, if not quite the energy quotient (he was 53 at the time) -- some nifty editing and a redundant dance routine make him look good.

Without absolute conviction, no action film can survive: if there's no belief, there's no danger.

Top Critic Gone is the excessive gadgetry that mars Bond films, and, as a result, the characters are more prominent and colorful.

It is good to see Connery's grave stylishness in this role again. It makes Bond's cynicism and opportunism seem the product of genuine worldliness (and world weariness) as opposed to Roger Moore's mere twirpishness.

Top Critic After a 12-year hiatus, Sean Connery is back in action as James Bond. The new entry marks something of a retreat from the far-fetched technology of many of the later Bonds in favor of intrigue and romance.

The action's good, the photography excellent, the sets decent; but the real clincher is the fact that Bond is once more played by a man with the right stuff.

Brandauer is a great Bond villain, and the role still fits Connery like an old tux.
04/14/05
Aside from some minor flaws, the film is a surprisingly standard Bond film, one that could easily be integrated into the "official" franchise with very few adjustments.
