Sum up Never Say Never Again in 007 words or less. Feel free to add in as many 007 Words Or Less reviews as you wish.

Examples:
Bad, but better than Octopussy.
Connery returns in a big way.
This is how Bond film's should be.
Poor remake of Thunderball.

Ex-Bond returns in renegade Bond film

Aging Connery returns to most famous role

Good reminder of how great Thunderball was

Never again. Please.

Terrible score. Sharp script. Connery still sizzles.

Bond meets Johnny English. Purvis-and-Wade-tastic!

Is that seven words?

This movie should have never been made!

They should have made the film they wanted to make and not bother calling it a Bond film. Very dissapointing.

Brandeur doesn't hold a candle to Celi.

Basinger doesn't hold a candle to Auger.

Pat Roach is probably the best part.

Definitely the worst Bond score of all.

What was Kevin McClory thinking in '83?

Connery in better shape than in Diamonds.
Basinger pales in comparison to Claudine Auger.
Claudine Auger wasn't Domino so it sucks.
Michel LeGrand is better than Eric Serra....just.
Felix likes to jog in dress shoes.
I prefer Alec Mccowen to John Cleese.
I prefer Pamela Salem to Samantha Bond.
I prefer Edward Fox to Judi Dench.
Barabara Carrera is my favourite female villain.
Did Sean Connery borrow Frank Sinatra's toupee?

You're all wet!
Yes, but my martini is still very dry.

Best Bond quote ever.

Still drool over Kim Basinger

Yes it's more than 007 words, I know, I know. But still, I would have loved to trade places with Connery in the message scene. Lucky man!

Only Connery could pull off martini line.

Worth watching just once and NEVER AGAIN.

Fatima Blush is truly nuts but hot.

Connery's Bond is money at any age.
