Give me a digital editing program, and some Barry sountracks, and I could give you a beautiful, well edited version that wouldn't be boring in the last half. 10 minutes shorter as well.
I re-bought NSNA last week and watched it again a few days ago. I don't know why but I kind of like it in a Carry On Camping kind of way. SC is not my fav Bond and the only other film of his I have is DAF. I think NSNA is really just a spoof dressed up as a serious film. Like Moore, SC can't be taken seriously in either DAF or NSNA. It's just one of those films that should be taken for what it is (or isn't)

Given that NSNA was a remake, why was anyone disappointed that it never lived up to TB. I’m surprised its producers thought they could better TB. What was going on in their heads at that point, I wonder? It might have stood a chance if it hadn’t been an attempted clone of TB.

It was a cynical attempt to shake the tree one more time. The only possible motive was to make some risk free cash. It was done on the cheap (and looks it)

Here's my verdict - It was a waste of perfectly good celluloid. Only joking, kind of.
"The tough man of the world. The Secret Agent. The man who was only a silhouette." - Ian Fleming, Moonraker (1955).
It's definitely not my favorite Bond movie, but its not my least favorite either, it's not even my least favorite Connery film. I actually like it more than Diamonds Are Forever, and I do enjoy DAF more than many other films of the series.
