Never Say Never Again - This movie was always at the back of my mind since it's a huge Connery middle finger to the guys that produce James Bond movies, and also because seemingly everyone says it sucks ass, it's bad, has incoherent plot, etc. etc. Hey, turns out it's an ok Bond movie, who knew?
Yeah it doesn't have the heckin gunbarrelino and the classic theme and the score is of questionable value, and the plot does seem a bit incidental and throwaway, but it all works perfectly fine and chad Connery makes this all work as if it were any other Bond film. It was a fun watch, I just wish they emphasized more the "bond is OLD" angle in the story.
Maybe this compares unfavourably to Thunderball, I dunno. Didn't watch and probably won't for a long time...
