December 29th, 2015 (FB Post Date): Thunderball
Our least favorite so far. It’s worth mentioning that even without martinis, it was often hard to follow the plot.
Gadgets: Lots of underwater stuff, bad guys had cool mini subs. A completely unneeded jetpack?
Bad Guy: Spectre, with a plan being run by #2. Meh.
Martinis: None imbibed.
Bond Girl: Domino. Boring, our least favorite so far.
Fav Scene: The underwater finale is great, double bonus for sharks. The final boat fight is hampered by really bad effects.
Sets: The transforming yacht/power boat was keen. The mansion in the intro being smashed up was worth note.
Our current standings: Goldfinger, Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Thunderball.

I felt this way about the last Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. It was exhausting and stressful to watch, not to mention outlandish!
Really enjoy your posts. Hope you are doing well.
Holly, it is so great to hear from you! We are doing well. I have completely lost track of which Mission Impossible movies I have seen and which ones I haven’t and I don’t have enough energy to figure it out. Also, Tom Cruise now, ugh. Thank you so much for reading our posts. Best wishes.
