This is a terribly uninteresting movie and it's amazing that after a dozen year absence as Bond, Sean Connery would pick THIS picture for a comeback. They must have offered him TONS of $$--no other explanation makes sense. The biggest problem is that instead of creating a movie for Connery, they just chose to re-make one of Connery's previous Bond films! Why not something new instead of a second-rate remake of a film he already did?! Well, it turns out the studio could NOT get the rights to Bond, though, because of a loophole, they could legally re-make Thunderball! This is a rotten excuse to make the film.
Apart from the beautiful Kim Basinger, there is nothing about this movie that makes it better than the original (THUNDERBALL)--in fact, the original is so much better. Because of this, it seems like the makers of the film had contempt for the audience--they didn't even bother giving them something new! Particularly uninteresting is the character played by Barbara Carrera, though Klaus Maria Brandaur isn't much of a villain as well.
My biggest feeling is WHY--Why was this film made in the first place?!
