Connery is back, better and more buff than ever, as super agent James Bond 007, this time seeing him on a mission in the Bahamas to prevent a nuclear catastrophe from happening. The cinematography is beautiful, as the Bond Girl Claudine Auger, who looks smoking hot in her bikini. For the acting, Connery is always there to take the spotlight. He zigs and zags his way around friends and foe in order to succeed. He is still the charming, witty, and deadly secret agent we have come to know him for. The villain is also good here, because not only he has one of the most diabolical plans ever, he also looks diabolical (an eye patch). The action here is non-stop, especially the underwater scenes. Some call these scenes overlong, thus causing the length of the film to be 2 hours and 10 minutes, quite long, but to me, it's just breathless and pulse-pounding. Also, the beginning of the film will want you begging for more Connery. Most of the action sequences rely on the team's special effects, but it's no problem, since the special effects are damn good for a 1965 movie, even by today's standard. Which is why it deserved to win the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Crew also reigns here. Producers Brocolli and Saltzman return once again, as well as Terence Young, director of the first two Bond films. This was his final James Bond film before he went on to direct Audrey Hepburn in her Oscar-nominated performance in the 1967 thriller Wait After Dark. It shows that you have a class filmmaker at the helm. John Barry gives us a beautiful and fast-paced score that mounts up the tension every time. it was good in DVD and even better in Blu-ray, and thats saying something given the age of the movie.Read full review
Back in 1965, we had many wonderful things going for us as a country, and cinema was one of them. Thunderball was a considerably exciting film based upon actual event within the time-frame only years after President Kennedy had his Showdown with Russia on the open seas during the Cuban missile crisis. Sean Connery was into making his fourth James Bond 007 film and Hollywood was loving every new Ian Fleming novel set to film. The underwater scenes are amazing even to this day. Bond 007 (Sean Connery) was much more cool and sexy than in later films, and women all seemed to love him in this starring role. The Thunderball theme was of course sung by the great singer, Tom Jones. The cinematography was superb above and below the water. I'll give this a 4/5 for its attempt to follow several other films that made it quite better than Thunderball at the Box Office, yet failed to capture the true essence of immediate nuclear threat.
