Movie Reviews of Thunderball (Special Edition)
Movie Review: My favorite BOND!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, out of the whole lot of them, THIS is the one I choose as my favorite (followed very closely by MOONRAKER as second). For starters, it has the most compelling and intruiging political plot of all of them, even more now that we live in the age of terror. It's classic Connery with that classic 60's environment that made the first batch of films so memorable. The underwater fighting sequence is by far the most exciting as compared to later scenes in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and LICENSE TO KILL.
How disappointing it was to see this poorly remade in 1983 as NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN. But even the filmakers knew THUNDERBALL was the best story to choose from out of all the Bonds.
Movie Review: ...He Strikes Like Thunderball...
Summary: 5 Stars
After the sucess of Goldfinger,Thunderball became a worthy addition to the still early stage 007 series.
Bond's mission takes him to the Bahamas to retrieve stolen nuclear missles from SPECTRE agent Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi)Although it's a bit slower paced than the previous movies,Thunderball raise the bar in the action department.The first movie to feature beautiful exotic locales (Bahamas),it also pioneered underwater camerawork in it's action packed, yet overlong and violent deep sea climax.
From the precredit scene featuring an escape with a jetpack, to the destruction of Largo's yacht The Disco Valente,Thunderball is an actionpacked adventure from beginning to end.
Movie Review: A Cinematic Delight !
Summary: 5 Stars
Thunderball is James Bond at his best! The great action scenes(especially the ones underwater), the superb performances, the well written plot, and the fantastic score by John Barry all combine to make this a five star outing. Sean Connery turns in another fine performance as 007 and Adolfo Celi as Largo shows how to play a truly ruthless villian without crossing the line into camp. This entry also features great Bond girls(both good and bad) played by the beautiful Claudine Auger and Luciana Paluzzi. I recommend this fully packed DVD edition to any Bond fan. You won't be disappointed!Movie Review: Thunderball = 007 at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
AN EXCELLENT BUY!-Sean Connery at his best as James Bond 007 is always a pleasure to watch, especially in this explosive, high-danger thriller. See Bond battle SPECTRE, play cards with SPECTRE, and even steal SPECTRE'S girlfriends.
Loaded with action 007-style, cool gadgets, and evil villains, Thunderball remains one of the best Bonds.
Also, several great extra features are added on. This is just one more reason that this is a great DVD to buy.
THUNDERBALL ROCKS!!!
Movie Review: James Bond has returned to a home theater near you!
Summary: 5 Stars
James Bond returns not on VHS, but on DVD. The DVD format will enhance picture quality, sound quality and the whole 9 yards and I just simply can't wait to see it with all the special features that this format offers. I just love "Thunderball" from beginning to end. Here, it is up to only one man with the number 007. He finds himself protecting NATO from having their own bombs being used against them. Will James Bond be able to unravel the bomb caper? To find out, you must order this title before it is too late.
