Ah, the classic "villain steals nuclear warheads and holds the world ransom" scenario. Sean Connery is as cool as ever and it's got some gorgeous location shooting in the Bahamas and Fiona Volpe, one of my favorite villainous femme fatales in all of classic cinema. But endless and meandering underwater "action" scenes do it no favors and hold it well back from the heights of the rest of Connery's first five Bonds. (Ytadel's series ranking: #20 of 24)

Not as good as the first three films by far. It's just mediocre.. The underwater action is somewhat dull. Connery is obviously great but the supporting cast isn't outstanding in any way. The plot feels a bit forced, and it's certainly not very fluid. Has the expected amount of good one-liners and wittiness, and a few memorable enough scenes for it to be worth watching. However, From Russia With Love and Goldfinger will give you much more.

It's a good action movie but not as good as the other Sean Connery Bond movies in my opinion. There's just too many underwater fight and action scenes and most feel "off," probably due to the fact they're almost all sped up using obvious fast forwarding to counteract how anything done underwater appears in slow motion relative to out of water action. The blue screening on the boat looks off as well. Still Connery is fantastic, Luciana Paluzzi is gorgeous and it has some great one liners.

Bond movies are best when they keep moving, and Thunderball, like Dr. No, just doesn't have enough variety in the locations. Far too much time is spent in Nassau. The underwater stuff wears out its welcome as well. I also noticed a number of small flaws... bad edits, poor dubbing, other little things. Nothing major, but more than there should be in a production of this scale. However, the film has some entertaining moments, including some of the best one-liners.

James Bond Project 2017: The first Bond movie in the series that really feels like a sequel, and that's with the derogatory connotation of the word in mind. Full of the familiar ingredients for a Bond film, but something is off with this particular martini's mixture. The movie's pacing feels way off with its bloated script and awkward scuba "action". However for the most part, as long as we aren't underwater, the movie is an entertaining enough Bond movie.

Jetpacks! Bond sexually assaults a nurse and blackmails her into blowing him. Claudine Auger is stunning. Not much else is successful here. The underwater scenes were probably a huge logistical and technical challenge, but they don't play out that well onscreen. Again, Bond triumphs due to blind luck. What happened to the brown-shirted henchman at the end who saved the girl and stopped the villain? They just left him floating in the ocean while Bond and Domino get winched away.

Having seen the 83 remake first, part of what held my interest was seeing the parallels, but there's some stand-out stuff (the opening twist; the funniest joke in any Bond film "Pass me something to wear"; an unforgettable pool trap) & a good amount that's ok but unmemorable (the villain; the romantic lead; the action at the spa - albeit not Bond's quid pro quo for sex). The finale is a long underwater battle which is impressive, but mostly on a mental level - as in "Must've been hard to shoot".

Thunderball's noticeably higher budget enables its ambitious & extensive underwater scenes, but missteps on several other technical aspects. Uneven pacing that sees the film start with prolonged panning over ocean vistas but end as if someone had accidently flicked the fast-forward switch. The sound editing has consistently been poor, but is somewhat worse here, with an ill-fitting score to pair. The plot calls out the ludicrous from Goldfinger, but has Bond commit twice as many sexual assaults.

I don't think I've ever fully understood why Thunderball doesn't work. Connery is still great as Bond, but the action and the characters around him seem uninspired, especially after the glory that is Goldfinger. In fact, I'd say there really isn't much memorable from this movie other than the precredit sequence (with the jetpack!) and the "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" theme. It might also be a problem of too many baddies - characters like Bouvar and Lippe and Vargas all sort of blend together.

Mostly forgettable. It's disjointed and poorly paced, also lacking a strong villain and climax. The underwater battle is weird; it's ridiculous and campy, and if it had come earlier in the film, it would be cool, but being the biggest moment in the movie, it's really awkward and off-putting. There are some great shining moments that show there's still a lot of magic there, but they're too few.

THUNDERBALL, for all its lavishness, lacks the real spark that the best Bonds bring to the table; the core story isn't too bad, but the main villain, Largo (Adolfo Celi), is fairly dull, while the overlength and flabby script hamper it further. Still, there's a lot to enjoy here, including Ted Moore's fine cinematography, John Barry's superb score, Luciana Paluzzi as a true femme fatale, and Terence Young's direction--of the series' directors, he was perhaps the best at making them thrillers.

In many ways reminiscent of Casino Royale, from its opening fight scene, to the excellent pacing and undeniable entertainment value. Would've rivalled the excellent Goldfinger had the ending been trimmed down a bit but I still had a blast with this one. Gets extra credit for arguably the hottest bond girls so far.

A slight improvement over Goldfinger in my mind. It strikes a very similar tone but the slight campiness is more consistent making it less jarring and more enjoyable to me. Like the others it has some moments of bloat, but is largely well paced with fun Bond moments and a few more action scenes than it's predecessors.

It's tough to imagine that Terence Young won't be remembered as the best Bond director. A lot more of what you have come to expect: a lot of fun, a lot of girls, a lot of great one liners. The underwater scenes were not cinematic at all, probably looked better on paper. It's odd because the Bond fight on the boat immediately after is arguably the most cinematic thing Young did in any of his 3 outings. The villain is pretty forgettable but the Bond girl is gorgeous and underrated.

Thunderball contains the most underwater scenes out of all Bond movies and quite possibly in action movie history. The action is a bit of a bore (not much tension when the hero is invincible) but the romance actually withstands the test of time, it's cheeky and (literally) bubbly and Claudine Auger as "Domino" is one of the hotter Bond girls.

Another very decent Connery 007, Thunderball gets the tone right throughout - until it decides to throw in an overlong, tedious, lets-see-how-many-ways-we-can-kill-a-diver-with-a-harpoon action climax that threatens to wipe out all the good that came before it. Bond himself glides through the film effortlessly, even if some of his lines become eye-rollingly cheesy. Claudine Auger is a pretty tasty bird, although telling her apart from the other two Bond girls here takes a while.

(Rewatch. I'll give it some more slack since the underwater scenes were more interesting this time around, except for the ending. Bond got rapier. #2's pretty awesome since he's matching Bond in skills and abilities. Fav scene: jet pack exit was awesome, but couldn't he have flown further away?) Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention, but the film seemed to drag on and on. The women were all fairly similar so it was confusing. The underwater scenes were boring. A very forgettable film.

The plot is memorable in itself and plenty of elements people associate with classic Bond movies. Some of the investigating was interesting too. There was however the question of the underwater scenes: they were great feat of cinematography back then, with impressive amount of complicated footage. But to the average viewer, it can grow tedious and slow, especially since the underwater scenes are plural and many and so lose their novelty

"Thunderball" continues the form set by "Goldfinger". It is characterized by a very intriguing plot and several suspenseful sequences, including a very memorable prolonged underwater climax. Funny one-liners, more Bond girls than you'd care to count and an in-the-field visit by Q spice things up. Also, no matter how blown out of proportion everything is, it is pretty evident that Bond couldn't carry out this mission all alone and that's a nice variation.

Thunderball raises the bar of expectation and it lives up to the excitement & escapism of it's predocessor 'Goldfinger'. Sean Connery is on top form once again with some of his most memorable Bond moments and one liners. The underwater battles in particular are impressive. Silliness has undoubtedly begun to creep into the films as the set pieces get bigger and the gadgets become increasingly outlandish. That said, it's Bond films like Thunderball that have comfortably stood the test of time.

Quintessential bond and arguably Connery at his best in this role. A strong script and the rise of Ernst Stavro Blofelt brings something else to this incarnation. The usual scattering of exotic locations, glamour and danger means this is formulaic but entirely believable.

Many would state Goldfinger has it all for a Bond film, but I'd argue Thunderball takes the cake for the Connery era. It has gadgets, but they don't get too silly. It has action that lingers too long sometimes, but is still great stuff you won't find anywhere else. Yes, the film drags more than it should in places and can feel disjointed and aimless, but by the climax everything checks out, and it never actually gets boring.

Thunderball is overcrowded by interchangeable characters and way longer than it needs to be (it takes nearly an hour into the movie to even introduce Bond's mission). Nevertheless, the underwater photography is uniformly beautiful (and impressive, choreography-wise), and Fiona Volpe is a femme fatale for the ages. I really do like Thunderball a lot; probably more than I should... it's just too bad some of the material wasn't left on the cutting room floor.

Rewatched Thunderball for the first time in 20 some-odd years. I can see why its rarely shown on tv these days (while the first 3 of Connery's Bond films are played ad nauseam.) Only the opening fight had any energy to it. The rest takes too long to go nowhere fast with lazy paint-by-numbers direction and dialogue and, aside from Sir Sean & Paluzzi, charmless performances abound. The worst of the Connery Bonds.

I don't have anything against Bond movies, but this one wasn't very good. There is a ridiculous jet pack scene within 10 minutes of the beginning which sets the stage for a pretty ridiculous film overall. There are numerous underwater action scenes that all devolve in the same way, two guys wrestling each other while they grab the others wrists. Add to the fact that they blatantly maimed/killed sharks on screen and it's a movie I can feel safe in telling anyone not a Bond fan to avoid.

Great under water battles & the codename 'thunderball' in which all the 00's participate was really a cool plot. Oddly enough it's James Bond who's always in the right place at the right time to deal with the badguys (Number 2 - just love the name).. GREAT QUOTE: "James Bond: That gun, it looks more fitting for a woman. Emilio Largo: You know much about guns, Mr. Bond? James Bond: No, but I know a little about women. "

Parts of Thunderball still hold up, but not the action at the end of the film.

I'm amazed that they were able to crank out one of these movies every year, given how much was involved in the production. They were shooting in exotic locations, like the Bahamas, they had to orchestrate an elaborate parade scene, and I'm sure a lot of shark-wrangling was involved. Not to mention a huge underwater fight scene that must have taken ages to stage and shoot. Also, this one was fortunate enough to receive possibly the coolest title of any Bond movie.

One of the most iconic of the Connery Bonds, beginning to lean away from Fleming and towards ever larger setpieces. Still wonderfully entertaining, with its eerie underwater battle scenes and its array of gadgets, gals and locales. Also the best opening sequence in the entire series, bar none. Look up! Look down! Look out! It really was the biggest Bond of all, until You Only Live Twice.

One of the best of the early Bond movies. Thunderball has some of the cooler gadgets and a great bad guy.

One of the better Bond movies I guess. Not that that's saying much.

A quarter of the film is underwater. There are so many complicated submarine sequences it feels like a long episode of Stingray. This would be fine but water slows things down and Thunderball makes no effort to escape this fact. These parts seem to last forever and it's difficult to tell what the fuck is going on.

Not as memorable as the previous Bond movie. I liked the plot and the characters in this one. It's a bit more slow paced, however. Great action scenes.

This movie was okay, but it was a little too Cold War.
