Thunderball - 2 stars. This movie has some stunning visuals going for it (there’s nothing quite like Technicolor in the tropics), but little else. Domino may not be as pathetic as Tatiana was, but after Pussy Galore I’d like to expect more from a Bond girl. Fiona was cool, but I feel like she could have been more fleshed out. Same goes for Largo. Really, I’d probably have been more into these characters if I didn’t have Goldfinger in recent memory to compare it to. Anyway, the pacing drags in places, and the limitations of underwater photography in the 1960s prevent the action scenes from ever developing any real tension. Still, it’s marvelous eye candy.
7.5 out of ten equals mostly pretty lame?
Well, if you convert it to a percentage it’s 75%, which is a C if you then convert that to letter grades.
