A really dazzling dark and engaging Bond movie. In this film the stakes really rise further and the formula we've come to love is fully established but it's really Sean Connery at his very best in this movie, he's intense and really does the physical aspect of the role well. Domino is also probably
my favourite Bond girl. Sexy, tough yet also brittle and human too, the scene of her in the black and white bikini with the cigarette looks gorgeous. We also have a suitably sinister villain and the shadow of Spectre threatening the world yet again. The film makes no apology for itself, its just a thrilling ride yet dark and rich too. As ever the costumes, music and cinematography are finely done.
Thunderball is a real delight for Bond fans and I would happily watch it many more times in the future.
