Blofeld: A McClory rights Bond film?

[Dr. No]

Just remaking Thunderball in various crappy ways? Thanks, but I'll pass

No we don't need another NSNA. It does have it moments, over all I'll pass.
All though the remixed intro by Blofield's cat was pretty cool.

I've never seen NSNA but I have a feeling I'm not missing much

Unless you want to see Bond kill a man by throwing a jar of urine at him... you are not missing much.

[katied]

Eh the thought that anyone would want to remake Bond films with the old OTT elements is just WTF to me. But some people like it. As evidenced by the bazillion threads about bringing Blofeld/Moneypenny/Q(delete as applicable) back elsewhere

It's not all terrible - Klaus Maria Brandauer is great, and there's some great dialogue. Fatima Blush is a lot of fun, too...

It has its flaws and but I think NSNA supplies more fun and entertainment than QOS.

[katied]

I'll put NSNA on my Netflix queue

That's not exactly setting the bar very high. Schindler's List was more fun than QOS.

[James]

This is an actual photgraph of a cinema audience enjoying Quantum of Solace.

[stockslivevan]

Can't say I'm a fan of NSNA. I thought it was very boring. It was actually my very first Bond film before TND, and like that film, it didn't get me interested in Bond in any way.

[Eye Of The Tiger]

I haven't seen QOS. But I can definitely say that NSNA is much more of a true Bond film than CR, IMO.

It certainly doesn't rank up there with most of the other Bond films, but it's still worth-while IMO. I've watched it at least ten times over the years, and will still watch it again in the future.

I watched CR once, and will probably never watch it ever again.

[katied]

CR's watchability..I've said this before,but I've watched it so infrequently since it came out on video that I can count it on my fingers.It says something that a "unofficial" Bond film like NSNA is more worth watching than the most recent Bond films

[James]

Never Say Never Again doesn't seem like such an oddity in the Bond universe after the last two paradigm shift grubby nutcase Bond entries.

CR's watchability....do me a favour. Is this the film you saw 11 times at the cinema, and you say it has no re-watchability factor???

To be honest, if I saw CR 11 times at the cinema, I doubt I would fancy watching it that many times again on DVD either.....

Maybe 2006 is where the Bond franchise ends for you then. Sorry to see you go.....

[katied]

It doesn't translate well to a smaller screen...I don't have a huge TV to enjoy watching it on(which would be the ideal way to watch it but I like the TV I have *shrug*) That, and the runing time(though you'd think it would be easier to watch on DVD since you can actually take bathroom breaks, gets something to eat, et. when you like )

I doubt that anyone here will care but NSNA is coming out on blu-ray (HD) around when Qaurk hits the stores.

So not all that different to todays Bourne-Toady-Bond except the jar is thrown at the audience

Ouch. Bad Bourne copy or the real thing-it's six of one half a dozen of another!

I rather like Never Say Never Again and regard it as a part of the Bond series. It's a bonus Bond movie and does not offend me. The - as James said - "two paradigm shift grubby nutcase Bond entries" are much more offensive as they have stopped real Bond movies from being made.
