Movie Reviews of Thunderball (James Bond) [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Great but somewhat overrated
Summary: 4 Stars
As much as I loved this film, I must say this movie was not the best Connery Bond. It's an excellent movie no doubt, I much prefer You Only Live Twice, but this is still great.
This one takes place in the hot Nassau in the Bahamas. Two warheads have been stolen from by SPECTRE Agent Dominic Largo. Bond heads to the Bahamas to solve this. While on the way, he meets the sexy Domino, and finds out that he may be the only one to take the world out of its hostage state which leads to a spectacular showdown on the Disco Volante.
Thunderball is a great movie and maybe one of the best (but not the best). The only thing that makes this a 4 star only is that it's quite slow, and at 130 minutes (there's a typo on the back saying 125), the movie feels longer than it really is due to the fact that there's not a lot of plot twists.
Overall I loved it, but it's not the best Connery one IMO. Still reccomended, and the two-disc ultimate edition is excellent as well.
Summary of Thunderball (James Bond) [Blu-ray]
The thrills never let up as James Bond dives into this riveting adventure filled with explosive confrontations and amazing underwater action sequences! Sean Connery brings his characteristic style, humor and magnetism to Agent 007 as he travels to Nassau to track down villainous criminal Emilio Largo, who's threatening to plunge the world into a nuclear holocaust. From Bond's thrilling jetpack flight to his heart-stopping clash with Largo's killer sharks, Thunderball is a stupendous mixture of action, romance and edge-of-your-seat suspense!James Bond's fourth adventure takes him to the Bahamas, where a NATO warplane with a nuclear payload has disappeared into the sea. Bond (Sean Connery) travels from a tony health spa (where he tangles with a mechanized masseuse run amuck) to the casinos of Nassau and soon picks up the trail of SPECTRE's number-two man, Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi), and his beautiful mistress, Domino (Claudine Auger), whom Bond soon seduces to his side. Equipped with more gadgets than ever, courtesy of the resourceful "Q" (Desmond Llewelyn), agent 007 escapes an ambush with a personal-size jet pack and takes to the water as he searches for the undersea plane, battles Largo's pet sharks, and finally leads the battle against Largo's scuba-equipped henchmen in a spectacular underwater climax. This thrilling Bond entry became Connery's most successful outing in the series and was remade in 1983 as Never Say Never Again, with Connery returning to the role after a 12-year hiatus. Tom Jones belts out the bold theme song to another classic Maurice Binder title sequence. --Sean Axmaker
