Customer Reviews of Thunderball
Thunderball Far and away my favorite Bond movie of all. Many people complain that it's a slow film, but it still boasts some great action sequences (underwater fighting is inevitably going to be at a slower pace than on the ground). John Barry's score reaches its pinnacle here, especially in the underwater scenes where there's obviously no dialogue. Add on to that, one of my favorite Bond girls, the sexy Domino, and Blofeld's rogue-ish Number 2, Emilio Largo, one of the best villains (by the way, this is the first appearence, both in the film and in the book, of Bond's nemesis Blofeld). <
>One of the biggest factors in making Thunderball my favorite Bond movie is the beautiful locale: The Bahamas. Bond goes tropical! Can't get any better. <
>This is Connery's last Bond movie where he seems to still be having fun in the roll (he was obviously getting tired of it by You Only Live Twice), and the film sparkles for it. The interplay between Bond and villainess Volpe is especially entertaining. <
> <
>Arguably the last true classic Bond movie in a row (You Only Live Twice is very good though, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service is vastly underrated), Thunderball feels like perhaps the ultimate Bond movie of them all. Nobody does it better. <
> <
>I recommend seeking it out.
One Of The Best Bond Films
In my opinion, Thunderball is the best James Bond film. Others might not think so, but it is definetly one of the best.
<
>Thunderball has everything a Bond movie should have. Action, adventure, sophisticated humor, suspense, cool gadgets, a GREAT vilain, Baccarat, and of course, beautiful women. This film has the most beautiful women of any Bond movie.
<
>The setting of the movie adds to the greatnes of the film. The movie takes place in the Bahamas, where there is plenty of sun, sand, ocean, and, obviously, BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!! It gives off the same vibe as Dr. No in Jamaica.
<
>The plot is good too. SPECTRE is planning to hold the world at ransom by threatening to nuke anybody that doesn't pay up a large amount of money. SPECTRE no. 2,AKA Emilio Largo,is the agent in charge if this operation. The whole plot unfolds nicely and it keeps you entertained throughout the whole movie.

>Thunderball is a "must have" item for any movie collection.
Solid Bond, though not as much fun as others...
"Thunderball" starts out strong, with the jet-pack scene, but becomes slighty less entertaining as it goes...while it is a very good film, it isn't as much fun as "Goldfinger" or "You Only Live Twice," and isn't as solid as "From Russia With Love." Connery was still excellent in the role, though evidently not having as much fun with it as he did in the previous effort, "Goldfinger;" that being said, "Thunderball" is still one of the best Bond films ever made, and is better than "Dr. No," Young's first Bond effort behind the cameras. Lots of hot Bond girls (actually three), solid villians, and solid action throughout. I rank it fourth of the twenty, behind its two immediate predecesors and its immediate follower, and it is certainly a must for Bond collectors. However, for newcomers to the series, I wouldn't recommend starting with it.
