Here's a dissenting review of the new Bond flick.  NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN
is one of the poorest Bond movies.  Yes, it has its good points.  Sean Connery
is really the only man for the James Bond role, and he does play it well in
this movie.  There is some nicely done tongue-in-cheek humor (e.g. the urine
sample).  But the movie as a whole is very dull, yes, dull.  The previous
Bond movies have had stunts I've found thrilling and exhilarating, but there
was no real excitement here.  The twists in the plot were few and far between,
the opening credits mundane, the musical scoring forgettable, and the gadgetry 
almost nonexistent.  The plot as a whole didn't really hang together, even when
I suspended my disbelief more than for the previous films.  And, except for 
Connery, none of the actors were impressive at all.

So, don't expect too much from this film.
