to see sean connery pulling out all his acting stops, watch the offence or the hill, he is brilliant in those films, and with michael caine in the man who would be king, also excellent.
Totally agree. The Offence and The Hill are both excellent. Have The Man Who Would Be King on dvd but not watched it yet. Connery was also good in the Hitchcock movie Marnie.
Yeah too much underwater stuff. As I recall you can't tell who is killing who in that sequence. But all Connery Bonds movies are great in one way or another.
Always like your Bond reviews Phil. A long time since i've watched Thunderball but remember the spa scene and the underwater fight. Forgot who the villain was until you showed him. I like all Connery's efforts and he is and will remain my favourite (Moore 2nd). Plenty of women for Bones here as you'd expect. 👍
Excellent phil...love thunderball..sean is great with some witty lines..lucianna definitely one of my fave bond girls...its great to put on and visit Nassau for two hours!😊..hammergazz
Yeah not forgetting hammer girl martine beswick and claudine auger....a couple of bond girls came from the hammerstable..namely caroline munro..madeline Smith...hammergazz
Too right..I'm actually dreading the new bond era mate...they can do what they like I suppose...no one will bother or just turn off!!!..back to thunderball..ive always loved the vulcan bomber part..the crash landing 👌..great for the age....nice one phil..hammergazz
Phil, I pretty much feel the same about this particular Bond film as you do, for similar reasons. If I need a Bond fix, I am always drawn to the first three films. 'Thunderball' clearly has much going for it but it just does not register the same with me as the previous efforts.
Hope you enjoy the video. Once again can i ask if you could like and subscribe please. Cheers everyone.
Adolfo Celi was a character !!!!!
@@tombaker4586 he is good but not one of my favourite bad guys. Think Goldfinger and Red Grant are better.
Great honest review Phil ty!
Cheers mate.
Is mentioned in the Oliver Reed bio book, two drinking and gambling buddies.
@@tombaker4586 would have loved to have had a drink or two with Oliver Reed. He was a real character.
Brilliant review.
Thank you.
Great review. Love your Bond reviews.
Cheers. Only have 9 more Bond films to do now.

Yes, those are all very good films with Connery on top form.

Yeah it is a bit confusing, even with a good blu ray copy. Still a good film, but there are better ones.

Cheers 🥂 mate. Love the Bond movies. Connery made some great ones during the 60s. Sort of the golden era for these type of films.
Great review! I agree the water scenes are too drawn out. I think Connery had peaked by this time 👍
Yes after this film he seemed a bit tired of playing Bond.
We're waiting.....
Cheers mate. Starts at 7.00. 😀😀7

All the women in this film look gorgeous. Its so unrealistic of women, but who cares. 😀

@@garygrimmett7945 yes they look great too. Some great casting for these films. Before everything became woke, like it is today.

It also seems a bit overlong. Whereas the other 3 go really fast.
Great review and a quality film. 4 stars out of 5.
Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed it. Connery was a great Bond.
@@MrSuperphil yes. A definite legend.
Haha, when Bones said (about woke women) they get offended by their own arses, I almost choked on my tea!
Bones always speaks the truth. 💀👍
It is a fun film even though the fight on the boat scene is bit silly. Phil I noticed you resemble Kevin McCory.
Haha. Hey maybe i can produce a Bond film then. 😀
Yeah some of the action scenes are speeded up too much. The boat scene fight looks bad. Especially all that footage outside the windows. Lol.
@@MrSuperphil and get Bones to play either Sean or Roger Bonds and call it Thunderbone
Think Bones would love to play Roger Moore. He would need some eyebrows though. 💀
@@MrSuperphil The problem is from the projector is looped. I still think it is fun but it doesn't effect the film
Connery was a great Bond.
Him and Roger were the best.
Happy Batman day
Happy Batman Day. (Should have reviewed it)
What Batman would you review
@@timelordvictorious probably would review Batman Begins.
