Thunderball



Thunderball, 1965. The world is held for ransom with stolen nuclear bombs.

Directed by Terence Young. Written by Richard Maibaum & John Hopkins, based on a screenplay by Jack Whittingham; story by Kevin McClory, Whittingham & Ian Fleming. Starring Sean Connery.

Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). My wife tells me that this isn't meant to be a comedy. I didn't believe her, until I read online just now that the jetpack was a real working jetpack. So... I guess it's just a bad movie. I still enjoyed it, though, as an Adam-West's-Batman-style campy comedy.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.8/4 (Eh)
