2025-07-21 12:31:15 +0000 UTCI am so glad you enjoyed this film my young sister, I loved it and Thunderball remains the most financially successful film of the series in North America when adjusted for ticket price inflation and overall adjusting its earnings to 2011 prices, it has made around $1 billion worldwide, making it the second-most financially successful Bond film ever after Skyfall. I saw it when I was around 10 and OMG it was the most epic and incredible spectacle I had ever seen, the underwater battle amazing and it actually won the academy Award for Best Visual Effects, all his gadgets, the jet pack which was a first in the movies, there was nothing like it back then. I think it is my fav Bond movie with Goldfinger a close 2nd. :) This movie and Goldfinger was responsible for igniting the Secret Agent Craze of the mid 60's. This hit song came out in 66 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iaR3WO71j4 ; #3 on the Billboard Hot 10 All kids wanted to be secret agents, including me, LMAO :) and #4 on the Canadian RPM chart.

2025-07-02 02:58:33 +0000 UTCThunderball won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, and it is easy to see why. A few years back I had the opportunity to see this film on the big screen at my local Alamo theater and it was quite the experience. The underwater battle sequence really is a remarkable achievement. This film had a budget of $ 9 Million and made $ 141 Million at the box office (!) I would rank this second only to Goldfinger among my favorite films in the Bond catalog, with the beautiful Domino ranking first among the Bond girls! Great reaction Ames, enjoyed it!

2025-06-28 02:40:02 +0000 UTCThey announced today that Denis Villeneuve will direct the next Bond movie. He directed both Dune movies, Blande Runner 2049 and Arrival among others. That makes me excited for the next film.
