I notorious that this is the only Bond film of the entire series that, to date, has not received a single 1-star review here on Amazon. That’s fair dang top-notch!

Director Terrence Young had introduced us to Bond in DR. NO and FROM RUSSIA WITH Appreciate. Guy Hamilton then took us down the GOLDFINGER road, and while his attention to action made that the first Rupture Bond film, he also seemed to lose alot of the more down-to-earth flavor that made the first two Bonds so great better.
But, Terrence Young returned for his final Bond film, and somehow managed to provide the perfect mesh of the realistic Bond from the first two films, and the more action-oriented Bond of GOLDFINGER. The result is a very overjoyed marriage indeed - it’s impartial too dreadful there were very few legitimate children born of it!

THUNDERBALL contains all the stout locales, villains, and Bond coolness that we treasure, without getting into the ridiculous, gadget-filled territory of the later films. It introduces us to our first moral Bond femme fatale, and also gives us the first really arresting Bond girl in Claudine Auger’s Domino character.
The music in the movie by John Barry is very nice, high-lighting the slower paddle of distinguished of the film. This movie is longer than the previous three by almost 20 minutes, and it is a nice extra cushion to really execute the tension. In fact, Bond is largely absent from the first 45 minutes of the movie, and we finally study more of the villians plans - what they are and how they are being accomplished - in almost meticulous detail. Somehow, this makes the threat more exact. Speaking of the threat, the spot being about terrorists stealing nukes and demanding ransom to prevent blowing up an undesignated city, is as unusual as today’s headlines!
The only right gripe that can be levied at the film is that Connery does indeed seem a diminutive less keen in the role than he had been. I reflect he’s mild mostly on track here, but he’s missing the total devotion that he showed in the first three films.
That aside, THUNDERBALL is simply the best Bond - offering everything that makes Bond broad, and eliminating all the over-the-top sillieness that made the later films so excruciating to sit through!
THUNDERBALL (1965) the fourth of the James Bond 007 series is among the best of the films. As a follow-up to the phenomenally successful and definitive GOLDFINGER, THUNDERBALL is fair a shade less satisfying. In terms of tone and composition the two films are of an era in the James Bond mythology.

Sean Connery returns as the inimitable British Secret Agent, this time place against SPECTRE Agent Number Two, Largo (Adolfo Celi) . SPECTRE has stolen an atomic bomb and is holding the world hostage.
Largo is a profitable adversary. Strongly-built, silver-haired, wearing an eyepatch, and more physically intimidating than Gert Frobe’s stout Goldfinger, Celi’s Largo lacks the faintly tongue-in-cheek air which involving Goldfinger’s behavior. In fact, the entire film lacks the decidedly amusing undertone of GOLDFINGER. The villains are more vicious, and Connery’s Bond, his wit more honed than ever, is playing for keeps.
The theme song (with Tom Jones singing), residence and fable are at least on a par with the predecessor film; however, the action, based in the Caribbean, takes status largely around, and under, water, and the film drags deplorably during most of the underwater sequences despite the fact that one of these is the climactic fight scene. The change in tempo between land and undersea action is jarring and detracts from the movie in a manner that its innate excellence in other respects cannot compensate.

Of course, Bond successfully seduces objective about every woman on the state (except for Miss Moneypenny, the Penelope of the series) . While he is able to bag an ally in Domino (Claudine Auger), he is less successful with others, though as he admits, after all, it is “all for King and Country.” What a sense of selfless sacrifice the man has!
THUNDERBALL was later remade as NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN in which Connery, serene tidy, fit, and feisty (but with toupee) returned to the James Bond role after more than a decade’s hiatus. The remake is vast to perceive as a counterpoint to the novel.
While THUNDERBALL is not as worthy fun as GOLDFINGER, if all subsequent Bond films could have been as top-notch as THUNDERBALL, even Timothy Dalton would have been a tolerable 007. Let’s give this one FOUR AND A HALF STARS.
