Summary: Bond In Paradise
Review: Another action packed Bond with Sean Connery where the playboy spy goes off to paradise to save the world from sinister villains. A fun Bond with all of the standard quips, archvillains and Bond Bunnies.

Bond is off to the Bahamas to find the location of a crashed NATO bomber carrying nuclear bombs. Standing out in the tropical paradise is SPECTER's second in command, Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi) who has lavish parties in his villa and disposes of unwelcome guests in his shark-infested sealable swimming pool. After seducing Laro's sexy mistress, Domino (Claudine Auger), Bond follows Largo to uncover his organization's sinister plan.

A good Bond with plenty of sea-faring adventures both above and below water. Bond is of course equipped with his standard gadgets with the help of MI-6's uptight gadgetmaster "Q" (Desmond Llewelyn.) Another Connery Bond film worth several viewings.

Summary: A Great Bond Film But Lacking In Some Parts
Review: If you are the Bond viewer that watches the movies to see the beutiful women always featured in the movies then this movie is the one for you! This movie features the best Bond girls out of any in the series. One of the villians is a woman with an outstanding figure, but who is also very deadly and is even able to instill a little fear into Bond, as you will see late into the movie. Then you meet the Phenomenal Claudine Auger, as Domino, the best Bond girl to show up in any of the movies. When she is on screen all you can see is her, and that is all you want to see.

But lets move onto the rest of the movie. For the most part this movie is very good, it features some funny attemopts on Bonds life in the beggining, when Bond is healing from his previous mission, which had a pretty interesting twist. It is as well written as any Bond film and until the end there is no major flaws in it at all.

The end of the movie though can cause a little bit of impatience due to an exsevilly long underwater battle that after a few minutes get really repetitive and a little dul. But once Bond is out of the water it picks up agian. Just watch for one mistake the movie makers had at the end of the movie. Three good guys jump out of the boat and a second later one of them disapears.

So this is a very good movie and absolutly neccesary for any true Bond films. The only reason it was given 4 stars instead of 5 was the underwater sequence just gets a litte tired after a bit. Otherwise this movie is a must have. So I think that is NUFF SAID.

Summary: ...He Strikes Like Thunderball...
Review: 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.
