Regarding Wick’s Review
I wasn’t a huge fan of Never Say Never Again. Not because it wasn’t an Eon film. It was just because the movie was just a remake of Thunderball and seemed unneccasary but it was interesting to see Connery take on the role of Bond as an older spy.

I will say that the only reason it was made was because Kevin McClory had intended to make a Bond film with Ian Fleming starring Richard Burton in the role, but it was dropped and Fleming used their story as the basis for Thunderball. I heard that throughout the 90’s McClory tried to make the movie again but with Timothy Dalton in the role of an older Bond, but of course that never happened.

Regarding Wick’s Review
Me too MJ. I’m hoping Skyfall gets back up to the level of Casino Royale, since Quantum of Solace was a bit of a disappointment. The trailer certainly is encouraging.

Ever see Never Say Never Again? Hidden gem.

Regarding Wick’s Review
Great review, Wick. Goldfinger is actually probably my favorite James Bond film along with Casino Royale. I’ve been rewatching a lot of them in anticipation of Skyfall.
