Octopussy

Rating:
Summary: Reliable as ever
Review: Released in 1983 , the world was about to witness something never seen before or since, two Bond films relesed in space of a few months . Octopussy, the ofifcial Albert R. Broccoli produced Bond with Roger Moore and Never Say Never Again, the unofficial Kevin McClory produced Bond with Sean Connery making a comeback. But was Octopussy that more than doubled Never Say Never Again at the box-office. Octopussy comes from a short story written by Ian Fleminga and has our hero on the trail of the leader of an international smugglers ring and an exiled Afghan prince Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) who forms an alliance with a power crazed Russian General. The film has plenty of action scenes which include a fight on top af a train and a plane. Octopussy is heart racing Bond as ever.

Summary: Not horrible, but¿
Review: I don't think this movie is as good as people say it is. Moore is getting to be too old to look the part, and though Maud Adams is beautiful, her role is too small and stupid. She had a much better part in The Man With the Golden Gun. What can I say about that tarzan yell?

Summary: Octopussy
Review: Moore looks a bit worn out in 1983's Octopussy.The villains are the exiled Afghan prince Kamal Khan and the renegade Russian General Orlov.They are both great.Maud Adams(who was also in The Man with the Golden Gun) does a great job as the title role.Moore's acting is good.The stunt scenes and the action are spectacular.Some of the action includes two car chases, a chase through the jungle, a battle on a train, a fight at Octopussy's Floating Palace, and a hand-to-hand combat duel in and on top of a plane.The settings were India and Germany.The settings in India were beautiful.Octopussy's Floating Palace and Kamal Khan's Monsoon Palace were wonderful too.The plot is that General Orlov will plant a bomb in the U.S. Air Force Base in West Germany and Octopussy's traveling circus will be used as a cover.Rita Coolidge's All Time High was good as was the score.This was Moore's fourth best film, beaten by A View To a Kill, Live and Let Die, and The Spy who Loved Me.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: Though Moore seems a bit worn out, the movie was still great.Maud Adams and Louis Jordan are great in their roles as Octopussy and Kamal Khan.Q returns to give Bond some great gadgets as ususal. Though The Spy who Loved Me is the best Roger Moore film, Octopussy comes pretty darn close to beating it.

Rating:
Summary: Very good Roger Moore
Review: Though The Spy who Loved Me was better, Octopussy was one of Moore's best and one of the best of the series too.Don't miss this.

Review: As Roger Moore was nearing the end of his reign as agent OO7, Octopussy came out.With a pair of great villains and some spactacular stunt scenes, Octopussy proved that Roger Moore wasn't done yet. The settings in India and Germany were very good.What Octopussy also had was some interesting but not to well-known henchmen such as Gobinda who is Kamal Khan's Oddjob-like strongman and twin knife throwers who happen to be brothers and one of them kills OO9.
