Summary: The Worst?
Review: In its day, this was considered the worst Bond movie of all time. But we hadn't yet seen "Moonraker," "A View to a Kill," "License to Kill," or Pierce Brosnan. And we hadn't taken a look back at the truly awful "Live and Let Die." So maybe it's not the worst. But there's certainly no reason to sit through it, either.

Summary: Terrible Bond Film, But Great DVD
Review: "The Man With The Golden Gun" is the worst film in the James Bond series. Its characters are weak, its humor, corny, and the production values are simply bellow Bond standards. The main problem with it is that the story is uninteresting. Even though the villainous title character (Christopher Lee) is one of the few genuine attractions, everything around him seems to be out of place, or just plain ludicrous. It's a shame that the few good bits get ruined by something uninspired. The amazing car stunt over the bridge is scored badly, John Barry's music is only good in parts, and Maud Adams, a beautiful and interesting character, gets killed off just when we start to like her. However, I should point out that the DVD for the film is very well made and includes two very interesting documentaries: one on the making of the film, the other on the stuntmen behind the film series. Add two stars just for the DVD bonuses.

Summary: Needs some luster
Review: THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is probably the biggest clunker in the Bond series after MOONRAKER and is only worth watching for Christopher Lee's performance as the lead villian. Bond (Roger Moore) while on a job to help a scientist, who may have the key device to solving the energy crisis, has been made the next target of world class assassin Francisco Scaramanga, (Christopher Lee) a man who kills with a unique golden gun at $1,000,000 a job. Scaramanga is in league with a Hong Kong crime leader who is also after the device for his own use. Traveling to Hong Kong and China, Bond tracks down Scaramanga and the device and Bond is challenged by Scaramanga in a duel to the death. Much like LIVE AND LET DIE, GOLDEN GUN is a little on the slow side with a lack of any real good action scenes in between. This movie also boasts some of Bond's worst characters. Mary Goodnight is a clumsy and annoying Bond girl, who even manages to turn James away, Nick Nack is Scaramanga's diminuitive henchman who is irritating and as far as henchman go, is very unthreatening and finally Sheriff Pepper returns as a tourist who throws his weight around Hong Kong and is still a pain. On the other hand, Lee oozes charisma and class as the villain Scaramanga, maybe the best villain, or at least best played villian in the series. It's too bad he wasn't put in a different Bond movie, for if he had, there would probably be no reason to watch this rather dissapointing Bond entry. For Bond fans only, anybody else skip it.

Summary: The Man with the Golden Gun
Review: Sorry, but this one probably the series' worst. There are several good things about this movie but some are small. Christopher Lee is one of te best villains of the series along with Walken in A View To a Kill, Shaw in From Russia with Love, Bean in GoldenEye, Celi in Thunderball, and Frobe in Goldfinger as Francisco Scaramanga, a million dolllar hit man. Those are only some of the best though. Maud Adams is excellent as Scaramanga's mistress Andrea Anders, and would have been a much better Bond girl than Britt Ekland. Bringing back J.W. Pepper from Live and Let Die was an okay idea but he is hilarious. The plot was pretty cool. The Orient setting is excellent as is the one in You Only Live Twice. Some of the action is fairly good such as a boat chase through a river in Bangkok with a hilarious scene involving OO7 and a liitle boy. Though it is good, it can't match up to the best boat chase of any OO7 film in Live and Let Die. Others include an entertaing martial arts fight which is too short, and an energetic car chase through the streets of Bangkok that climaxes with an awesome corkscrew flip. Roger Moore gives a strong and steely performance which is beter thanhis debut in Live and Let Die but wouldn't grow completely into the role until the next film in The Spy who Loved Me. That is all for the good things. Britt Ekland is the worst Bond girl of any film and Nick Nack is VERY annoying. The script is also quite weak. The title song is okay as is the score. Though it's probably the worst ofthe Bond bunch, The Man with the Golden Gun is good and worth several watchings.

Summary: A Great Bond Film Roger Moore's better Bond Effort
Review: No matter what people i know say about this bond entry being the most weak of all the series i belive it's to be one of the best. Best for story, for locale and probabley the best Bond villian since Goldfinger, in Fransico Scaramanga, played with such Style By Christopher Lee. He has arrogance and self assured cool that equally matches Bond's and even Bond Is envious of Scaramanga's rich and powerful existence. Roger Moore was more subtle in this one he does much better here shapen up his own way of playing Bond rather than coping Connery's style In his debut in "Live and Let Die" One mistake in this film that i saw was having Mary Goodnight as the Bond girl, she wasn't anything special she could not match Bond's Ego and looked more like a fool to Bond rather than an ally. All in All this is a well done bond film and it does have more story than action but that's what makes it all the worth while seeing. Its Great a Bond film one of the most memorable to me.

Summary: On a Lot of Fan's Worst Lists
Review: Many fans thinlk this is the worst James Bond film, but I disagree (I consider A VIEW TO A KILL to be the worst - for one thing it is the only film in the series that looks as if it were made because the schedule called for another Bond film!). There are problems with GOLDEN GUN to be sure. For a man who is supposed to be witty and sophisticated, Moore is saddled with a lot of dialogue that is less than cultured. And some dumb things happen - a fight with a midget played for laughs, the treatment of the Goodnight character (this is an agent?) seems to indicate what the sexist filmmakers thought of the then current women's movement, and the return of a character - Sheriff J. W. Pepper from LIVE AND LET DIE - who just doesn't belong in Bond's world. But with the passage of time I can forgive most of these. There are however things I really like, and you must look at where it came in the series to understand them. We hadn't seen M's office since 1969, this is the first appearance of the Chief of Staff (the unbilled Michael Goodliffe - the filmmakers were obviously toying with the idea of a replacement for the ailing Bernard Lee), we hadn't seen Q's workshop since 1964, we were missing Desmond Llewelyn and John Barry in LIVE AND LET DIE. Although badly portrayed, at least Britt Ekland looks like an exotic Bond girl more than Jane Seymour. And Christopher Lee is the best villain since the days of Terence Young (Louis Jourdan in OCTOPUSSY is my next favorite Moore Bond villain). Of course this is the film that started the series being too long (THUNDERBALL and SECRET SERVICE were long, but not too long because neither looks like it is padded to fit the idea that bigger is better: TOMORROW NEVER DIES was the first Bond film in 30 years to be under 2 hours). GOLDEN GUN looks like there were ideas for 3 endings - and they used all of them! John Cork's commentaries and documentaries are top-notch, and I've been waiting for 26 years to see the teaser trailer I missed in the theaters. And thank goodness they changed the photo of Moore on the packaging. All the other DVDs are using the same cover as the VHS releases from 1996. Every Bond film, whether you think it good or bad compared to your personal favorites, is at least entertaining. And THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is no exception.

Summary: Great villain, exotic locations, weak story
Review: Despite this film being one of the poorer Bond stories movie script wise it still is very entertaining. We don't see Roger Moore flex his acting muscles in his second outing as Bond but rather just sail through on cruise control. Christopher Lee though is awesome as Scaramanga, the Man with the Golden Gun, but then Lee is one of those actors who seems to be good without the effort. Lee's henchman the evil "Nick Nack" is one of the stronger characters in the film, and certainly despite his miniture frame manages to keep Bond on his toes throughout. Clifton James returns as bigoted Sheriff JW Pepper, and whilst not being as funny as he was in Live and Let Die, he still brightens up the film about half way with his overplaying of his part. Maud Adams is Lee's mistress "Miss Anders" and she looks to be enjoying herself in her role. A major dissappointment has to be Britt Ekland who plays bungling assistant to Bond "Mary Goodnight". Whilst she is nice to look at her acting skills are questionable and she does affect the film with her overacting. Nonetheless, this film has enough of the Bond formula to be enjoyable, including a quite hilarious karate and water chase scene in which culminates with JW Pepper being pushed head first into a dirty river by an elephant. As JW says "...Elephants! They're Democrats!..."
