Good start, but then it gets ruined

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

James Bond (Sean Connery) heads to the Bahamas to recover two nuclear warheads stolen by SPECTRE agent Emilio Largo in an international extortion scheme.Of all the James Bond films, this one has one of the less-notable Bond girls. After passing on Julie Christie and Raquel Welch, we end up with Claudine Auger as Dominique "Domino" Derval. The character of Domino is interesting, but Auger is hardly well known. (Though fans of Italian horror may recognize her for Mario Bava's "Twitch of the Death Nerve".) Sean Connery is the definitive Bond, and this film shows us why. He is smooth and chats up the ladies in ways that no other Bond has. Sorry, Roger Moore. But it is the case.

Sean Connery's fourth Bond film. In this, the fourth instalment in the series from the original team, you have a classic Bond film. A competent villain, a thrilling adventure in an unusual setting, great Bond Babes and one of the series' all-time best scenes. Terence Young's direction is taut, whisking the narrative along with the speed and precision of a jet plane.Certainly among the top five of all Bonds.

After the greatness of Goldfinger,the expectations for Thunderball were high,while the movie isn't as good as the previous films,it is not bad.Starting off with the pros,is Sean Connery,he is still very good and a perfect Bond.I also like the plot,it seems slightly realistic for the time.The idea of starting off with the villains instead of Bond although taken from From Russia With Love,is a good idea,as it fleshes out SPECTRE and helps us understand their movies.Although this movie is basically a fun action movie,it does have its serious moments,which are executed well.The action is also good,the best being a chase scene at a Mardi Gras parade,and a fight in a pool.The Bond Girls are good too,with one being a complete villain.Now for what makes this movie worse than the previous ones.For one,there are too many action scenes underwater,and they feel more boring than exciting.Also the villain,although menacing at times,doesn't have enough character and feels too generic,ended up not very memorable.Another con is that first twenty minutes are pretty hard to follow.Negatives aside,this is a fun movie with more flaws than the previous films,though it is still quite well done.

This fourth outing by Sean Connery is still a formidable Bond film in the franchise. It doesn't have the most memorable or the most iconic moments compared the the previous ones but it does get the job done. The whole villain having a shark tank or swimming pool for people that crosses his path thing did stand out though. And also the scene with the electrocution chair for one of the members in SPECTRE. This film is entertaining in a lot of areas, while incorporating quite a bit of action sequences into the equation. I wouldn't be shocked if James Cameron directed this installment because the main set pieces and where most of the action and investigation takes place is under water. There is even a battle sequence at the end with bunch of harpoons that is done quite well despite the cinematography being quite choppy and all over the place. I will admit it's pretty much outdated when it comes to today's standards. I also think quite a bit of movies and video games that came after this borrowed certain elements when it comes to going on missions underwater and such. It even has the hottest and most attractive Bond girl in the franchise, Domino played by Claudine Auger.7.4/10
