Unfortunately Thunderball lost the gold streak of James Bond excellence. I thought Thunderball was rather a weak entry in the James Bond franchise. The main problem is the villain. Mr. Largo, a one-eyed "mastermind" is unskillfully played by Adolfo Celi. The action sequences were fine. The final one was okay but it lasted too long. There are two fantastic scenes, one takes place in a shark tank, and the other one is a street chase ending in an encounter in an outdoor bar reminiscent of a bar in Dr. No. There are other small gems including the pre-title sequence, but I stress the word small. This is by far the least strong Bond so far, but it could have been worse.Thunderball - 2.5 out of 4
