I find it so slow that I probably miss all the vital scens amongst all the boring underwater scenes. I don't get why Largo and his men all jump from a wall into the water to get the 2 bombs, why not just go from the side of his boat?
Then I don't know what's happening during the fight, but what happens to each bomb? Largo says on the boat he 'still has one' left, so what happened to the first one? And is the second one stored on the Disco Valente? If so why isn't there an atomic explosion when it hits the rocks and blows up?
Also who is the 'random' man that helps Domino escape from the bedroom? And I don't like the way the film end, nothing is cleared up by M!

Stick with it and all will become clear - it is all explained within the film.

You really should stick with it all the answers are there.

But 2 points
1. Nuclear weapons will not detonate in an explosion unless the trigger is armed their useless.
2. The guy who helps Domino is one of the scientists working on the weapons.

That sums up the film . I am baffled that people find "ThunderBall" slow going . I feel that Goldfinger is even slower.
