1/11: Thunderball might be the best yet for the James Bond franchise.

It isn't as stupid as the previous three pictures, and the action is plentiful and taut. I love the scuba diving adventure. Surely, I've never seen a battle of divers this extensive and long.

Sean Connery gets to do a lot when he was mostly useless in Goldfinger. As usual, James Bond takes advantage of his womanizing ways to bed more women (look no further than the movie poster where you see him adorned by four scantily clothed women which is retarded).

Although the final fifteen minutes is thrilling, I don't like how it ends. The archvillain is finally intelligent. And please...no more easy way outs for James Bond. By the way, they aren't Golden Grotto sharks but tiger sharks.

All in all, Thunderball gives me some hope for the next installment.
