James Bond 007 - Never Say Never Again: 40th Anniversary EON Cut

I've always found NSNA a real slog to sit through - not any more! This edit does a fantastic job in injecting new life into this film. The pace is snappier, the jokes work better and the whole narrative zips along the way a Bond movie should. Perhaps most important of all, if ever there was an edit to demonstrate the importance of a film's score then this is it! From the opening sequence, to Shirley Bassey singing Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and every gorgeous John Barry piece that follows, the improvement on the original score is immeasurable.

This will be the only version of NSNA I watch going forward.

I've seen a couple different edits of Never Say Never Again now and they all succeed in bringing the movie closer to the feel of the classic EON productions, but each of them crashes against the rocks of that shrug of a third act that simply doesn't work. That said, everything precdeeding that works great. Well worth watching for any Bond fans who want to see Connery's final outing as 007 with more of an EON style.
