Bond, James Bond

I was watching Thunderball, an oldie Bond, with Sean Connery. He's cool. I did find the movie, however, and perhaps this is blasphemy, quite boring. It was drawn out, the action scenes were confusing and weak, his seduction scenes were too short, the women were character-less, the evil guy was not evil enough. Is this what the modern, high-quality, high-powered, effect-filled movies are doing for us? Ruining the golden oldies? Or were they just not that good to begin with? Pause for thought.

On another note, some scenes were quite funny (not the funny ones, though)... he was scuba-diving in one scene and he was wearing something that looked like an orange, latex-zip-up corselette, with long sleeves. Underneath, he was wearing white boxers. VERY SEXY!!
