How is the world wrong about this film?

From Bryan: In 1983 Bond fans were given the gift of two films! Released a few months after the “official” Bond film Octopussy, Never Say Never Again brought back OG Bond Connery. A remake of Thunderball and not made in the same style or standards of the MGM Bond films, this film has gotten a bad rap and buried over the years. If you haven’t seen it, make a dry martini and check out this overlooked, fun film.
