Critics' reviews

"The color is handsome. The scenery in the Bahamas is an irresistible lure. Even the violence is funny. That's the best I can say for a Bond film."

Bosley Crowther: The New York Times
"'Thunderball' is 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 (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"Bond does a quite a bit more killing this time around (...) which makes for a more satisfying action movie, even if its hero comes across as a less clever operator."

Peter Debruge: Variety
"'Thunderball' bored the socks off adventure-hungry kids in the 60s, and time hasn't done it any favors (...) The adventure seems lackluster."

Scott G. Mignola: Common Sense Media
"Connery was cruising by this point and the movie doesn't quite match the swagger of 'Goldfinger' (1964), but still effortlessly plies the glory Bond years (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Kim Newman: Empire
