Rate the film on a 1-10 scale. I give it an 8/10, It was a pretty good Bond.

[Qwerty]

Well, for me, it's always been okay.

A solid 8.

[Dr.Carl Mortner]

Here's my question; if everyone KNEW there was a nuclear bomb under the White House, why didn't someone just go in and get rid of it? What a travesty of a movie...

[Genrewriter]

6/10 for me, a decent but flawed film.

totally agree...Thunderball is better in my book.

[Doubleshot]

I would give it a 6.5/10. Some inspired dialogue delivered with great performances from Connery, Brandauer, Carrera, and Casey. Not perfect, but fun and entertaining enough for a Saturday night when all other Bond films feel tired.

[DLibrasnow]

9 out of 10....It's far better than Thunderball and Never Say Never Again definately ranks in my top 5 for its great dialogue, excellent action and the best femme fatale of the 007 series in Fatima Blush.

[Lord Dupa]

I would give it a glorious 8 out of 10.

[MrDraco]

I never liked the flick Connery was like...in pre-bald stage and stuff and its just a remake of Thunderball in the 80s

[Tarl_Cabot]

Too bad Irwin Kurshner was making this unneccessary remake instead of Return of the Jedi. It's a 7, not as good as Thunderball.'83's Domino doesn't come close to the original Domino.

But far better than THUNDERBALL!

[Qwerty]

This is by no means a shot at Never Say Never Again. I absolutely love this film very much! Although, between the two, I slightly like Thunderball more, although it's a very close race.

[DLibrasnow]

Not even close in my book....the dialogue in NSNA is far better.

[Qwerty]

Yes, I just like the overall appeal of TB a little better.

Now you have me going Snow!

"I hope we're going to see some gratuious sex and violence."

"Yes, but my martini is still dry."

"Yes, that may be, I'm crazy."

"Your sense of humour is delicious!"

[Johnboy007]

5/10 Thunderball was better, i prefer the scuba fight over the usual dishing out of mayhem in some hollowed out place. Auger over Basinger, which is unusual for me to say, i picked a french girl over a georgia honey, i should go to the doctor

[Qwerty]

I adore Claudine. She's so innocent and beautiful, one of my all time favorites.

[Johnboy007]

notice she isnt dubbed when saying the lines "where is he" and "yes" when Kutz unties her, you hear why she was dubbed.

[Qwerty]

Yes, a constant ritual in the early Bond films: dubbing.

[Johnboy007]

its funny how Domino, Honey, and others, all had the same dubbing artist, who never changed her voice.

[Qwerty]

I believe it was Monica van der Zyl for Honey Ryder.

You can really notice a difference when Ursula speaks in Casino Royale. (1967)

[Agent J.Bond]

I'd give "NSNA" 6/10.....But "Thunderball" was better.
There was no need to re-make it, Thunderball is good
film. NSNA, at times was boring and even my sister
(who isn't a bond fan ) found the film boring and
also pointless.

It was a good film but it's no james bond film!

- Jasper Custard Agent OO Zero

[DLibrasnow]

It is a James Bond film....period.

I think Barbara Carrera was the best femme fatale of any Bond film...

"Guess where you get the first one!"

"Well there was this one girl in Philadephia"

"That's why you shouted my name across the harbor"

[Qwerty]

I do love her, but I sometimes like Fiona Volpe a little better. It's so hard to choose between the two! They both have some of the best lines and characters!

Steven Jay Rubin's book notes that each film seems to fall flat after each of these two characters dies....I guess that shows their importance.

[DLibrasnow]

I do love Fiona Volpe too but I think Fatima Blush is so deliciously evil and fun.

[Qwerty]

VERY true. However, Fiona is so playful about, although, Fatima is too. I love them both!!!

"Do you like wild things Mr Bond, James Bond?"

"Wild? You belong locked up in a cage!"


"You're quite a man Mr James Bond, but I am a superior woman."

[DLibrasnow]

"Oh thats bad....one should always be relaxed when going down"

"That we made the right choice"
"About what?"
"Your place or mine"

[Qwerty]

I do love her witchy little 'outfit' during the party sequence. With her swinging her hat into the air and flying down the stairs: she's just so cool and nasty.

I'm fond of this line:

"Don't touch him, he's mine!"

[DLibrasnow]

Yes that is a fun line when they are trying to herd 007 into the back of the truck.

The way she treats Jack Petachi is quite an eye opener (no pun intended)

"Do you have a mission James"
"Yes Moneypenny, I am to eliminate all free radicals"
"Oh do be careful"

[Qwerty]

LOL! I love how she just throws him around the room like a rag doll.

"Get up!!!"

[DLibrasnow]

Yeah....I wouldn't cross her.....then she cares about the snake after she uses it to kill Petachi.
