Summary: fine... some of them are better
Review: Overall, this is a perfectly good film, as are all the Bonds. Some of them are better, like Goldeneye and The Spy Who Loved Me, but don't get me wrong... they're all good.

Summary: Fun movie overcomes wild title
Review: Okay, quit snickering. Seriously. Blessed with the most outlandish movie title in non-adult film history, Octopussy is actually a solid adventure and one of Roger Moore's best, despite the fact that it looks like your grandfather is doing the spywork here (Moore was 56 when the movie was released). Here Bond (get ready) goes after an exiled Indian prince, who has teamed up with a smuggler and a rogue Russian general. The smuggler (who goes by the nickname "Octopussy") uses a circus front to smuggle jewelry. The prince and the general are using her circus front to secretly smuggle a nuclear device that will start World War III when detonated and give Russia full control of Europe. I think that's it - this plot is amazingly hard to comprehend.When people say that all the Bond movies are the same, I'd like to point them here. Shot mostly in India, this movie has an exotic flavor all its own, and at times feels almost Indiana Jones-ish. In fact, this movie had a gross-out eating scene a good year before the Temple of Doom did. So there. Once again (following the back-to-basics For Your Eyes Only), we see a Bond who is less reliant on gadgets and more reliant on wits. This movie relies a little less on the big action sequences and more on suspense and character interaction. Maud Adams is a wonderful Bond woman, someone who actually looks like she is within 15 years of Moore's age, and there is more chemistry than anyone Moore starred with in his run. Of course, this ensures the uncomfortable feeling of watching your parents kiss, but they work well together. The whole movie is a good time, a pleasant excursion to foreign lands. Oh, and get a load of that title (snicker).

Summary: MOORE'S BEST BOND FALLS A LITTLE FLAT ON DVD
Review: Roger Moore is James Bond in his second to last adventure, "Octopussy". Here he's after Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) and the title character (Maude Adams - in her second Bond flick)because they intend to launch WWIII using a nuclear bomb detonated on an American Army Base in East Germany. Yeah, I know, cliche, upon cliche, upon cliche! But hey, it's Bond - Jame Bond and its amazingly good fun. Moore is the king of the one liners. His best in "Octopussy" occurs after he has just escaped a hunting party, complete with lions, tigers and elephants. Moore swims a muddy river to a tour guide boat and is helped aboard. When a lady tourist asks if Moore is with their group, he replies, "No ma'am. I'm with the economy tour!"
MGM/UA has done an adequate job of remastering "Octopussy" to DVD. However, there are some glaring oversights. First, after the 5.1 remastering efforts on "Moonraker" and "The Spy Who Love Me" (both older Bond's than this one)"Octopussy is only offered in a 2.0 surround mix. Even in its theatrical release it had more oomph from its sound field than this. Also, images, while generally free of shimmering and edge enhancement, are nevertheless, sometime plagued with a soft characteristic that isn't very flattering. The overall picture just doesn't measure up to the previous Bond transfers mentioned and, in light of that inevitable comparison, is perhaps more of a let down. Extra features are crazy, practically requiring another disc, they are so plentiful. Highlights include a making-of featurette and Rita Coolidge's "All Time High" music video which really took me back to the eighties and the dawning of the whole MTV generation. If MGM had paid as much attention to the actual mastering of the film, as they have with their menu design and special features, this could have been a great DVD to recommend. As it stands it's just average. The extra features push my rating up the extra notch, not the film transfer. Keep that in mind if you are buying just for the way the film looks. If that's the case then this disc is really only a "3"!

Summary: It was not good!!
Review: Octopussy was possibly one of the worst movies (Bond) ever made! I was completely aghast with the film's lack of interest. It seemed as if Roger Moore was trying to hard to be Sean Connery.

Summary: Pretty solid, but too long...
Review: This film was Roger Moore's sixth outing as Bond and one of his few good ones. Though the ending seems to take forever, the rest of the film is fast-paced and interesting, if you cut out the scene where he's being hunted. The plot is much better than most Bond films and mostly feels real. While Bond's villain is another megalomaniac, he's a believable one and a great adversary to Bond. The film's weakest element is the title character, played by the very untalented Maud Adams. Her character doesn't feel very important to the story and the ending where Bond saves her from a plane crash could have just as easily been cut out. But Bond fans will have a good time for the most part. There are the gadgets and double entendres to make for an average Bond film.

Summary: Funnier than "Goldmember"!!!!
Review: The Worst Roger Moore Bond film next to "A View To A Kill". By the time Moore had made "Octopussy" and "View" the series had become nothing more than crude slapstick comedy. There is nothing redeeming about this movie. Thank god & MGM for Pierce Brosnan!

Summary: Bond goes Octo-action!
Review: Great film! James Bond is on a mission to India(not antoher one). Villians are trying to throw bombs and kill many people. The action is cool. Octopussy is played by Muad Adams. Some of the action is good. When James dressed as a clown. In the begining, 009 trys to save India and fails. This is a good movie.007 is one of the best movie series of all time.
