The Man With the Golden Gun - James Bond #9

by AliventiAsylum AliventiAsylum is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Apr 14 '08
Pros: good villain, good supporting cast, good action & stunts
Cons: Roger Moore doesn't seem spot-on as Bond here, bringing back J.W. Pepper
The ninth installment of the James Bond series of films doesn’t bring any fancy new gadgets. It doesn’t bring any new faces into the familiar recurring roles in the series. In many ways, it’s just more of the same. At times, it might be ...

Whom Will He Bang?

by metalluk Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 27 '05
Pros: Christopher Lee's classy villain performance; several lovely lasses; exotic locales; Nick Nack
Cons: Feeble storyline; excesses of silliness; few gadgets; hammed-up action scenes
The range of opinion in relation to The Man with the Golden Gun is enormous. As with some other Bond films, it comes down mainly to how tolerant one chooses to be of self-parody and silly comedy in a Bond film. This film has a thin plot and ...

"I May Be Small, But I Never Forget!"

by a_johnson , Aug 23 '04
Pros: Sheriff J.W. Pepper, Bond, Lee, Nick Nack, the list is endless
Cons: where are Bond's gadgets?
The Man With the Golden Gun is, without a doubt, one of my favorite Roger Moore 007 movies. Heck, it probably is my favorite. It is directed by Guy Hamilton and stars Christopher Lee ( ...

OK Bond loses way with too many extraneous elements

by truckturner , Dec 30 '06
Pros: Lee, Villechaize, Lawrence, Ekland, plot elements
Cons: Adams, Song, Title Design, J.W., villain underused, overlong
In this Roger Moore Bond flick, 007 somewhat reluctantly goes after master assassin Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), who has a bullet with Bond’s number on it…literally. Since hunting down an assassin isn’t really Bond’s usual thing, Scaramanga is ...

"You live well Scaramanga...."; The Man With The Golden Gun...

by actonsteve , Jul 11 '02
Pros: Christopher Lee's Scaramanga, Thailand locations,John Barry's music
Cons: Sherriff JW Pepper, Mary Goodnight - but the good in the film outweighs the bad
“You live well Scaramanga……” “At a million dollars a shot Mr Bond – I can afford to. What do you get? A hearty well done from the Queen and a pittance of a pension. Other then that we are the same…” ...

Pandering to the Masses 101

by JackFoley , Jan 01 '01
Pros: Umm, I still love Bond.
Cons: Bad script, bad action, pandering to the masses, J.W. Pepper
As I looked at the list of my reviews as of late I realized that I had seen a lot of good movies. I hadn't written a negative review in quite some time, probably because Christmas seems to a time when I just see a lot of good movies. What's worse, Oscar...

Scaramanga, Frederico Scaramanga

by Guildencrantz Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 01 '01
Pros: Nick Nack, the car flip, Scaramanga's beautiful island.
Cons: The movie drags more than most Bond's.
Well it's been a while since I last wrote a James Bond review. Sorry. So for those of you that were chaffing at the bit to find out about the next adventure of 007 here are my thoughts on "The Man With The Golden Gun. Unfortunately I should...

Gold Guns and Goodnight

by Booms729 , Dec 12 '00
Pros: Great Installment in the Series; Moore, Christopher Lee's Scaramanga
Cons: ? Leaves you wanting more Bond ?
I remember playing Goldeneye with my friends on Nintendo 64, and how frustrated I used to get whenever we played the Golden Gun round. In that round, whoever found the golden gun would only need one shot to kill the other players. That part of the game...

Silence is Golden

by Diversity646 , Nov 14 '99
Pros: Nice visuals...Christopher Lee...Britt Eklund...Maud Adams...need I say more?
Cons: Boring, mundane plot, mired in mediocrity...Unnecessary appearance by boorish J.W. Pepper from "Live and Let Die"
The Man with the Golden Gun has a nice mixture of plot elements coupled with magnificent performers...but why did the plot have to be so mundane...?

James Bond is informed that Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), a legendary assassin is out to kill...

Roger Moore goes for a second go-round

by snied , Dec 03 '01
Pros: roger moore proves that he really is the best Bond
Cons: it ended
Fans of James Bond films are infinite. Just let me start off by saying that. I read somewhere that over 1 billion people have seen at least part of a Bond flick, and this doesn`t surprise me in the least. Bond films were first made in 1962, and since...

See herve Villechaize!

by calmo28 , Apr 12 '00
Pros: Good action, lines
Cons: Plot can be confusing
I have this tape in my Bond collection so I decided to check it out. In this one, Roger Moore is still spry enough to pull offf the suaveness needed to play Bond.

The plot has been summed up in by epinions already, so I'll only touch on it...
