An average movie

For me, Sean Connery will always remain the ultimate and best James Bond ever. I mean, sure, Daniel Craig is a very good actor (actually better than Connery) but his version of Mr Bond would never beat the original one, at least, that's my opinion. Anyway, all in all, thanks to this movie, it was definitely quite awesome to see Sean Connery back in his iconic role. Obviously, the story, which has always been a weak point in this franchise, was not really impressive. Indeed, even though there were plenty of entertaining scenes, it was also a little bit too long and tended to drag sometimes. Above all, it was a real pity that it had to be a remake, especially of 'Thunderball' which was absolutely not one of the best James Bond installments. Apparently, Kevin McClory, the producer of this movie, was also producer and co-writer of 'Thunderball'. Later, he would win a legal battle against Ian Fleming to make his own Bond movie and the settlement stipulated that it had to be a remake of 'Thunderball'. Still, above all thanks to Sean Connery, I enjoyed most of it and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
