Where to Watch Thunderball
- CubaneAugust 11, 2026They all have to have a mediocre water level I guess
- Christopher WeedAugust 9, 2026A solid early Bond film. The formula is in place, even if not perfected yet. The film is rough around the edges, but still a great time. The underwater shots are impressive considering this was the mid-1960's and shooting those scenes must have been nearly impossible.
- thomasrogers753March 31, 2026This literally just James Bond but at fuckin SeaWorld
- The PatrickDecember 20, 2025I have to agree with Mr Arn, this was to me a missed opportunity. The writing and story felt disjunctive. The water scenes are like a bad water level from a video game. Some scenes felt out of order. Movie was maybe too long for its own good. Some good acting, some good story elements but this 4th movie is a weak entry in the series to me. Not bad but not great. 5/10.
- Doctorthunder144November 9, 2025Classic entry into the Bond series. just needs less harpons
- ChromaticRangerNovember 1, 2025Not my favourite Bond. Seemed a bit disjointed to me.
- Mister ArnMay 21, 2025Parts of Thunderball still hold up, but not the action at the end of the film.
