Review of Thunderball (1965) by Daniel D — 23 Oct 2015
Thunderball is a good Bond film, but I wouldn't say it's one of my faves. As far as Connery's official 007 films go, this one is prob my second least favorite, above the messy Diamonds Are Forever.
Connery does have his moments here and there in this movie, but I find his performance rather average and flat in places, as opposed to his more inspired performances in his first 3 films.
The movie does have some nice cinematography, Largo is a pretty tough-looking villain, and I like Fiona Volpe (the movie's femme fatale), but I wouldn't recommend this one to casual Bond fans, this one is better suited to the diehards.
