Summary: Roger Moore's 2nd best but DVD play a little poor
Review: IF you where to watch all of The Bond fims and made a list of all of theme that James Bond acted like James Bond these one shoud be #3 on your list, Roger Moore gives his best perfromence in his regin as James Bond it The Plot if almost perfect to witch there where some loosely scens that didnt have anything to do with the movie at all or the plot of it, When I first brought the DVD it only played to Chapter 21 I sent it to the company and they sent a nother one to me that plays al the way to the end, But you can tell when it goes from chapter 21 and chapter 22 after you watch it about 2 or 3 times.

Summary: For Christopher Lee Fans And James Bond Enthusiasts Only
Review: I was a fan of the James Bond films as a child and my interest in these films has recently returned to me. I don't believe "The Man With The Golden Gun" is the worst Bond film because this negative honor goes to either "Moonraker" or "A View To A Kill." I do feel, however, that it qualifies as the third worst one."The Man With The Golden Gun" has a lot of weaknesses. I don't know why Roger Moore was allowed to make seven Bond Films. Although Moore wasn't as weak as George Lazenby, he still comes across as being bland and mannequin-like. Timothy Dalton was a much more effective James Bond. If Dalton had been given better scripts and more time, he would have been nearly as effective as Sean Connery. Britt Ekland's Mary Goodnight rivals Tiffany ("Diamonds Are Forever") Case as the most ineffectual and irritating Bond woman. Maude Adams is more effective as Andrea Anders, the villain's long-suffering mistress, but this character is given too little screen time. A pre-"Fantasy Island" Herve Villechaize makes an awkward henchman. The return of Clifton James' J.W. Pepper character was also unnecessary. The weaknesses of this movie also extend beyond the cast. An awesome car stunt is weakened by a poor sound effect. Tacky humor is woven throughout the entire film. The martial arts motif in part of the film also seemed out of place. Christopher Lee is the saving grace of this film. If Lee weren't in this movie, I would have ranked it with "Moonraker" and "A View To A Kill." He is excellent as the egotistical and cruel Francisco Scaramanga. I am only sorry that the screenwriters didn't further develop this interesting character. Lee is one of the screen's greatest bad guys and can effectively play just about any villainous character. He is a much better actor and greater presence than Roger Moore. Lee's villain is more interesting than Moore's hero. "The Man With The Golden Gun" is only for big Christopher Lee fans and those who feel that they need to see every James Bond film. A disappointment.

Summary: Classic Bond
Review: I know this one doesn't usually appear near the top of many critics' Best Bond Movie lists, but it's near the top of mine. Roger Moore was really in his prime in this one, and this was one of his tougher, more physical Bond performances. Moore has always been suave, and he posesses perhaps the best comic timing and delivery of any of the Bond actors, and he uses that well in Golden Gun. Also, in regards to the melody of the title song, and it's use throughout the movie, this is, IMO, the most effective scoring in the whole Bond series. There are great, exotic locales, exciting stunt sequences, and definitely one of the strongest villains in the whole series. I thought Lee's character of Scaramanga was perhaps a bit more realistic than many Bond villains, as he was more of an intelligent, psychotic loner rather than some megalomaniac set on world domination As a fan of the series, I also appreciated the Bond vs. Scaramanga final showdown as a nice change of pace from the common large scale "good commandos" vs. "evil army" battle that's used in a lot of Bond films. I also find the J.W. Pepper character to be one of the funniest in the series, so his appearance was a plus for me--this Bond movie had just enough humor to enhance the action and make it fun, without it going overboard and getting too cheesy, as they did with some of the later Moore movies. I just found this movie to be incredibly entertaining, and it just had that great Bond "feel" to it. Great picture and sound on the DVD, and a really cool documentary on the stuntmen and stunts from the whole series.

Summary: One of the best Bond films
Review: Ignore the disparaging comments and enjoy an extremely well-made, entertaining film that was a worthy successor to Live And Let Die. The much-underrated Roger Moore is ideal as Bond, accurately portraying Flemming's character as charming but ruthless with a highly developed sense of social superiority -something that the revered Connery never quite managed. Christopher Lee is equally impressive as Scaramanga, the assassin who could be said to represent the dark side of Bond. Overall, an excellent movie.

Summary: The Best Bond Ending Ever
Review: Roger Moore is back (sigh) as James Bond, agent 007 of Her Majesty's Secret Service. This time he is chasing Scaramanga, a deadly assassain, played very well by Christopher Lee. Bond himself, however, is weak, and Moore struggles. But the movie is still pretty good. Bond chases Scaramanga around Asia until the final confrontation on his small island. The ending is the best ever in a Bond movie, the story is pretty good, although a little thin, this is a movie that is a good Bond experience, but not on par with Moore's later movies, namely Octopussy and The Spy Who Loved Me. The other things I did not like were the annoying sheriff near the end and the Bond girl. Worth checking out if you are a Bond fan.

Summary: Moores Second Film
Review: Being only 12 i am a large bond fan. this was the first bond film i saw. As my dad Thought this was the best bond. Roger Moore(bond) plays bond for a second time. In this the 9th bond adventre, Scarmanger(Lee), a million dollar hit shot, has shot too many. He sends M a gold built with the numbers 007 on it. Bond is sent to hunt him down. In an effort to find him. Bond travels to Hong Kong, Thiland and A group of island where The Beach is set. I won't tell you the rest Because it Ruins the story 4 you. Rob 'bazza' barrett

Summary: Roger Moore and Chris Lee make slow film interesting
Review: This is Roger Moore's second turn as 007. He carries himself well. He is calmer, tougher and suaver. He still smiles easily, which is good, but discards most of the silly puns of LALD. 007 squares off against world class assassin, Francisco Scaramanga as he tries to recover a solar energy device. Christopher Lee, who built a fine career out of playing bad guys, is superb as the confident and eccentric hitman. His island lair is unique among Bond villains. Who else would have a funhouse constructed so he could torment his prey. Maud Adams is beautiful and sexy as Scaramanga's long suffering mistress. Britt Eklund is perhaps the least of all Bond girls. Her character is incompetent and foolish. I'm still not sure what to make of Nick-Nack, Scaramanga's diminutive bodyguard. This film needs much more action. It's just too slow and the action scenes are too brief. Intelligent and generally well acted but understated nearly to the point of boring. I wish the martial arts scene had gone on much longer. The boat chase is also over before you know it. The plot is intriguing but not enough to for a two hour movie. Too many distracting gimmicks. For instances: the car flip accompanied by a slide whistle, the return of the odious rascist blowhard, Sheriff Pepper, a car-plane, and Britt Eklund in the trunk of a flying car. A mixed bag of good ideas and solid acting mixed with dumb ideas and ponderous inaction. Better than Moonraker and AVTAK by far and a little better than Octopussy. Definitely lower-middle of the pack in the Bond canon.

Summary: Start your Bond collection today
Review: Everyone has their favourite 007 films, and fans love to champion their favourites while trashing the horrible ones. As a fan I admit The Man With The Golden Gun is not near the top of my list but it's nonetheless a good film. In fact, it's better than the one before it, Live And Let Die.
In Roger Moore's second film as Bond, 007 is seemingly marked by an assasin when a gold bullet with the inscription '007' is sent to M16 Headquarters. It belongs to eccentric recluse, Francisco Scaramanga, an assassin whose weapon is a unique gold pistol. This only makes matters worse for Bond, who must find a device which is used in a machine that draws power from the sun. The 'solex agitator' is supposedly the answer to the world's energy crisis. Britt Ekland as 'Mary Goodnight' is most implausible as a secret agent who's supposed to be helping Bond, yet she's sexy in a helpless and clumsy way. Maud Adams, too is beautiful as Scaramanga's ill-fated lover.
It wouldn't be a Bond film without frenetic car or boat chases and there's plenty here, including a spectacular corkscrew leap by a car over a collapsed bridge, a stunt that is highlighted in the documentary 'making of'.

Summary: Golden Gun: Moore's Best Bond Film
Review: I've watched and re-watched all of Roger Moore's Bond films and I have to say that The Man With The Golden Gun is my favorite of them. Roger Moore is great as Bond, Chris Lee is second only to Diamonds Are Forever's Charles Gray as the best Bond villian, and Britt Ekland is fantastic(and quite sexy) as the most inept Bond Girl of all time. The extra features on the DVD are great as well including, trailers, TV spots, and an orginal documentary on the making of the film with new interviews with the cast(and I must say that its a real treat to see Britt Ekland over 25 years after the film's release). To sum this all up, Golden Gun is my favorite of Roger Moore's Bond films(with Moonraker a close second), and is second only to Sean Connery's Diamonds Are Forever as my favorite Bond film of all.
