Sean Connery (1962 - 1971)

Diamonds Are Forever

Diamonds Are Forever - This film was the start of the more silly, unrealistic, humorous Bond films with over-the-top gadgetry, although it was quite good. Sean Connery is looking older now in this Bond film but not too old. In the film Bond travels to America to investigate smuggled diamonds. On the way Bond meets his main enemy again BLOFELD! The special effects are good for its time. The Good Points : The Fight scenes (the lift) , the women , the cars (the car chase is great) The Bad Points : Too Camp, Sean Connery is old , the music.
Diamonds Are Forever: 6/10
Action: 7/10
Acting: 6/10
Bond Girls: 8.5/10

You Only Live Twice

Thunderball

ThunderBall - From the impressive opening to the fight at the end on the boat. This film has amazing special effects for its time(1965) . And of course again the bond girls and locations are nice to look at. Although there is a downside which is that most of the film is underwater scenes which do get a bit boring and repetetive. But apart from that the film is really good. My favourite scene is when Bond escapes a bunch of enemies on a jetpack (this sunt was done for real with a real jetpack!). Sean connery again is great with the great fight scenes which includes strangling some with a knife.
Film: 7.5/10
Acting: 8.5/10
Action: 9/10
Bond Girls: 8/10
Sean Connery: 8/10

Goldfinger
Goldfinger - Four words - the Aston Martin DB5! A lovely car that James Bond uses to escape from enemies and ...well blow up nearly everything. Yes you guessed , this car is packed with gadgets machine guns , missiles and my personal favourite the ejector seat! This film is great and action packed. From the painted woman at the beggining to goldfinger being sucked out the window of an aeroplane - this film has everything. My favourite scene is when Goldfinger has captured Bond and has him strapped to a chair while a laser is going to cut him up (see picture above) Also this time Bond has to face a different villain - a weightlifter with a razor blade attatched to his bowler hat. Exciting stuff.
Goldfinger: 8/10
Acting: 8/10
