2/5
"...it lazily slogs through its set pieces without the slightest hint of spirit or spark."  Classic Movie Guide  A. J. Hakari

3.5/5
"It's too long and doesn't make any sense at times, but it's a real jaw-dropper (especially for 1965)."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

2.5/4
"...the movie becomes bogged down in underwater adventures towards the end."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

B
"It was still fun despite its shortcomings."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

8/10
"Not the perfect Bond film, but it still represents the series in its zenith and provides excellent entertainment even after more than three decades."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

3/4
"Classic 007 -- not the best picture in the long-running series, to be sure, but a more-than-worthwhile diversion for the action-loving escapist in us all."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

4/5
"It's remarkably good fun. It's retro enough to be amusing in the dull bits and timeless enough to be fresh and vital today."  Netflix  James Rocchi

7/10
"If it doesn't live up to its illustrious predecessors...well, it still has Connery, and that's a plus in anybody's book. "  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"Is it perfect? By no means. But there's a shiny metal, tactile feel to the movie, like a big, expensive machine, coupled with the sensual splendors of the Bahamian locales, that's an irresistible combination."  DVDTalk.com  Paul Mavis

"It loosely maintains the series’ early wit, which may be solely attributed, perhaps, to ease with which Sean Connery inhabits the role of Bond."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor

"Thunderball, the biggest, most lavish, and longest Bond film at that time, was the most popular of its day."  Turner Classic Movies Online  Sean Axmaker

3/4
"Sean Connery is fantastic"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson
