Thunderball (1965) 8/10 - I haven't seen this one in awhile. It's never been a favorite of mine, though, at least of the Connery Bonds. It's rather unbalanced, narratively. It's slow to start, and quick to end. Bond does absolutely nothing in the first twenty minutes - all of his scenes therein are dumb, partly because it takes forever for the plot to present itself. And, as for the end, the credits roll, what feels like, twenty seconds after the climax. The film also is lacking in the henchman department, unfortunately (unless you count Vargas, whose death brings upon one of my favorite Bond one-liners). But the movie's still cool. As with any Connery Bond the film's got some serious style. The score's great, the girls are great, and the action is great. I like that we get to see Bond do more spying than usual here. Also worth noting is the freaking awesome underwater battle, and Largo's plot, which is quite possibly the most classic of any Bond film.

Unfortunately, for me, my brother borrowed my copy of You Only Live Twice, so I don't know if I'll be able to watch that, which is a shame because that's definitely one of my top Bonds.
