Sure hope the blu is the uncut version. I seem to remember two versions of the old DVD floating around, one of which was about 4 minutes shorter.

Come on, be honest, Its fairly dire isnt?? Sexy Barbara carrera as a wicked nurse was about the best thing in it? Nursey give jack his candy!!
And Sean was standing under a bit of an odd hairpiece then wasnt he? It had moments i will give you that, but for me didnt compare to the first 7 bond films.

As part of their Bond collection?
Absolutely - why would anyone not, especially now it's been brought into the fold. Mine clocks in at 134 minutes, according to the (very small) writing on the back of the case.
I also didn't care for the Rowan Atkinson character, right from the first time I saw it on release. He was just breaking into the big time with the first Blackadder series and was presumably thought to be a crowd-pleaser. Didn't please this one.
Liked the film very much overall - marked down a bit for the Small-Fawcett character, the slightly overlong video game sequence and the grotesque horse stunt, but thumbs up for a black Felix, Barbara Carrera's cruel and flamboyant performance, Klaus Maria Brandauer, the pre-credit sequence and above all the score, which I seem to recall was really enhanced in the bluray presentation.
And while I understand it puts me in the minority, I really like the song.

NSNA will always be part of the Bond story, the Bond near-canon if you will, and I value it, can't dismiss it, but I can't call it a favorite either. It the "funny uncle" of the family that I love but don't like.
The title song is okay, but the rest of the music doesn't work for me, and that's a big deal in Bond. The score feels all wrong to me. The source music is especially not to my liking.
Connery's big fight in the health spa could have been a lot better. It's slow and plodding, as if we're seeing a half-speed walk-through for actors learning the choreography. If I recall, NSNA's action is not very light on its feet in general, either as a concession to Connery's age, or because the director just didn't know how to make things fly.
I like Kim Basinger but her wardrobe is dated now, especially her '80s dancer-cise attire. NSNA also gets mired in a video game situation that's very dated. The EON Bonds have a way of aging more gracefully in the style department. They try to be current but shy away from fads.
That said, NSNA is a change-of-pace Bond with a lot of good scenes, and it's part of our history.
