Where did Thunderball come from?
As with the previous novels in the series, aspects of Thunderball come from Fleming's own experiences: the visit to the health clinic was inspired by his own 1955 trip to the Enton Hall health farm near Godalming and Bond's medical record, as read out to him by M, is a slightly modified version of Fleming's own.

Is Thunderball a good movie?
According to Danny Peary, Thunderball "takes forever to get started and has too many long underwater sequences during which it's impossible to tell what's going on. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable entry in the Bond series. Sean Connery is particularly appealing as Bond – I think he projects more confidence than in other films in the series.

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
Now this is a great Bond story!First published in 1961, this was the 9th Bond novel for Ian Fleming and is a rip roaring good time for fans.This has it all:Criminal villain mastermind. While Fleming has come up with several great villains before, we are finally introduced to THE criminal, Blofeld, the Number 1 of SPECTRE – and who was without a doubt the template for Austin Powers parody Dr. Evil. (especially Donald Pleasance’s portrayal of him in You Only Live Twice). We actually get a villain double billing as SPECTRE agent Largo is the central antagonist and we meet Blofeld as the arch-enemy behind the scenes.Plot to destroy the world. Not just a spy v. spy, SPECTRE is rolling the dice on a big and dastardly plan and its up to our hero to save the day.Action. Lots. Some of the earlier Bond novels were oddly cerebral and even romantic, Thunderball is all about the fight scenes and there are many good ones.The Bond Girl. Broccoli’s casting in the films always entertains but they got the idea from Fleming and his creation of Domino is inspired.Gambling. Almost a token scene, but would it be Bond without ultra-cool at the card table?Bond with a health problem. Bond is a THREE pack a day smoker and a heavy drinker and M is worried about his ace. This begins with some attention to Bond as a physical operative.All this and SHARKS!Good fun.*** I re-watched the 1965 Terence Young film starring Sean Connery as Bond and was again reminded how much I liked this one. The underwater scenes are cool and the villains were superbly cast and performed. In one of the scenes when Connery is swimming with the sharks, one of the animals got past the plexiglass border and according to the film's stunt coordinator, the actor only just got out of the water.

A voice said quietly, close up against his ear, "You will not meddle again, my friend." Then there was nothing but the great whine and groan of the machine and the bite of the straps that were tearing his body in half. Bond began to scream, weakly, while the sweat poured from him and dripped off the leather cushions to the floor.Then suddenly there was blackness.This is a bit different from the previous 8 Bond novels. A bit more serious. SPECTRE gets hold of an atomic bomb and threatens to detonate it in a major city if he doesn't receive £100,000,000.WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:1.) Bond calling women "bitch" all the time. It doesn't matter whether he likes them or not. He just refers to women as "bitches" quite frequently. It's disturbing, and I can't really see any rhyme or reason behind it. Term of endearment? Verbal tic? I wish he'd stop doing it, it takes away a lot of my enjoyment of these novels.2.) Misogyny - Women are horrible drivers. Women are like horses that need to be tamed and broken in order to be ridden. [She was] a willful, high-tempered, sensual girl - a beautiful Arab mare who would only allow herself to be ridden by a horseman with steel thighs and velvet hands, and then only with curb and sawbit - and then only when he had broken her to bridle and saddle.Leiter's offhand comments about "authentic blondes" - ugh.WHAT WAS AMAZING:1.) Ian Fleming's writing - especially about the sea. Fleming must have loved the ocean and it's definitely where Bond feels the most comfortable and at home as well. Fleming writes beautiful, breathtaking, gorgeous descriptions of swimming and underwater life. His love and knowledge of underwater animals shines through this entire book and it's delightful.It is just as well that the body retains no memory of pain. Yes, it …
Goodreads
The Americans and the British launch Operation Thunderball to foil SPECTRE and recover the two atomic bombs. On a hunch, M assigns Bond to the Bahamas to investigate.
The text of the Thunderball book is close to the action of the 1965 movie. There is a reason for this: the book was originally a screenplay, developed by Fleming and two other men, as early as 1958.
On screen, Thunderball was released in 1965 as the fourth film in the Eon Productions series, with Sean Connery as James Bond.
