Review of Thunderball

Thunderball (1965)
10/10
The Ultimate Bond Movie
18 September 2008
Connery peaked in this film. He was in shape, exuded confidence, and seemed to really be into the role. The production was magnificent; the plot scary, and the villain, Largo was very sinister. The Bond girls - Domino, Fiona,Patricia, and Paula; were the best in any 007 film. The plot was intricately laid out and very believable.

The underwater fight scenes and the out of control Disco Volante hydrofoil were cinematic masterpieces that can never be eclipsed. This film had it all - gadgets, wisecracks, and above all, it took itself seriously. Great theme song by Tom Jones amid silhouettes of swimming babes. If you ever see one Bond film, this is the one. Just one thing - that high-pressure water jet coming from the Aston Martin's exhaust? Uh-uh.
