Octopussy

Pros: Entertaining Bond movie
Cons: Silly at times.

I have been enjoying movies since I was a child.  I saw several movies for the first time when I was young that I still enjoy.  I started to see the James Bond movies during that time.  The first Bond movie that I remember seeing entirely ...

Pros: Effective Indian ambiance; tense story; some cool henchmen; Jourdan as Kamal Khan
Cons: Slapstick style mismatched to narrative; mediocre Bond girls, villains, and main henchman; shallow characters

Octopussy was the thirteenth Bond film in the Broccoli series and took the series further in the direction of spoof than it had ever previously gone. It's really up to each individual viewer to decide whether they like their Bond as parody or ...

Pros: I always look forward to another addition to the James Bond series of movies.
Cons: This movie lacks intensity and seriousness and the willingness to be believable.

Just like all of the rest James Bond movies, I have enjoyed this one immensely. This is the 13th movie overall out of the series and the fifth movie that Roger Moore has played James Bond. This is not one of the best jobs of portraying a spy thriller ...

Pros: Colour, Jourdan, Kabir Bedi, sets, Q
Cons: Moore, the girls, Berkoff, too jokey, M stinks

Review: I’ve never been a fan of Roger Moore’s interpretation of 007, he always comes across as stuffy, smarmy and far too jokey for his own good. However, when it’s all said and done, he still finishes ahead of Timothy ‘Better off Playing a Bond ...

Pros: Maud Adams; cool weapons
Cons: Another incoherent screenplay

James Bond movies pretty much critique themselves. Up until Roger Moore's departure from the franchise, that is. With the Timothy Dalton films, we can get wrapped up in discussing how cynical they are in tone and what a morose 007 Dalton makes. The...

Pros: Maud Adams as Octopussy, Indian locations, Bede Acrostar, backgammon game with Kamal Khan
Cons: Roger Moore in a gorilla suit, Roger Moore dressed as a clown

With his tongue firmly in his cheek Roger Moore glides effortlessly through this 13th James Bond extravaganza. This has to be the most imaginative of all the Bond films which a fascinating plot set amongst real world events as well as playing on the fant ...

Pros: A bit of Bond action
Cons: Horrid lack of respect for franchise and the single greatest embarassment to the series

I am a James Bond fan, ladies and gentleman. I admire the franchises' place in history, it's legendary films, and some of the groundbreaking advances it made in the world of movies. They have a charm and grace to them that makes them fun today, even as...

Pros: Great action
Cons: None

I saw this movie because, well, I am a fan of Bond movies.

The plot in Octopussy involves the threat of the use of nuclear weapons to take over Europe. A rogue Russian general comes up with a plan to use nuclear weapons by making it look...

Pros: Great Action and Fun, Many Cities, Many Women
Cons: Entangling Plot, Lots of Characters

I started out as a fan of James Bond after falling in love with The World Is Not Enough. Even though I have seen a couple Bond films many years a go, I was much younger and I did not realise until now what I was missing. I started off with seeing all...

Pros: Beautiful locales...involving plot...charismatic villains...Gorgeous women...what more could anyone ask?
Cons: Very predictable...but aren't all Bond movies...?

I have never been a fan of the Roger Moore interpretation of James Bond. He is often too flippant for my taste and I think he sometimes comes off as TOO heavy-handed.

But I still think that Octopussy is one of the best Bond films to date. It's...
