Thunderball (1965)
4/10
The underwater scenes are tediously prolix n monotonous. The unappreciated forced kiss n blackmailing into having sex is downright pathetic.

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Aft revisiting it recently, i found it to be boring with the repetitive underwater scenes. I also found the character of Bond in this film very obnoxious n habitual molester.

This Bond gets the lowest rating from me.

This is the fourth in the Bond series and Connery reprises his role of James Bond for the fourth time.

Here Bond's mission is to find two atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, which holds the world for ransom of £100 million under its threat to destroy major cities in the UK or the US. The mission leads Bond to the Bahamas, where he encounters Emilio Largo, SPECTRE Number 2.

In this movie, Bond gets to cool off with Claudine Auger, the voluptuous Luciana Paluzzi n Molly Peters (famous for the steam room sex scene. She was the first Bond girl to appear nude - in silhouette behind frosted glass.)

Here Bond faces Largo, attack from sharks n gets tortured on a motorised traction table for stretching the spine but gets unwanted thrusting movements.

Mayb he deserved the punishment for being a molester. From a modern perspective, earlier Bond films potrayed Bond as a molester n habitual forceful kisser.

In this movie, Bond blackmails the nurse into having sex by keeping quiet regarding the machine negligence.

Bond forces an unappreciated kiss on the poor nurse.

Another poor soul, the nuclear physicist Ladislav Kutze saves Domino but he is never allowed in the lifeboat and later when Bond and Domino are retrieved by a plane, Kutze is left stranded in the shark infested waters.

Some info about Largo from the book, his iconic black eye patch over his left eye is nevr explained in the book too.
