ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

gavin6942 A fake Fabergé egg and a fellow agent's death lead James Bond to uncover an international jewel-smuggling operation, headed by the mysterious Octopussy, being used to disguise a nuclear attack on N.A.T.O. forces.There are many strange hings that happen in Bond films. The villains are often strange, with Jaws being the first obvious example. Here we have murdered clowns, sword-swallowers, a bed of nails... and a guy who has a yo-yo with a saw blade on the end. Not your typical spy versus spy action.There is, unfortunately, no single villain who stands out the way Jaws or Blofeld do. The problem is a rogue Russian general whose name is not very memorable and has nothing really unique about him. A good villain, to be sure, but Bond's other random antics are what really keep us going.

LeonLouisRicci The the 13th James Bond Movie and the next to last Roger Moore, is Not Bad but it seems They just couldn't Help including One Cringe for every Thing They Got Right.The Film Looks Sharp and John Barry Returned and Composed the Score to try and Erase the Memory of that Awful Bill Conti Debacle in the Previous Movie. There are Numerous Nail-Biting Scenes on Planes and Trains and then there is 007, a Man with a "License to Kill", Sliding down the Bannister, Machine Gun in Hand, like an Eight Year Old.The Opening Pre-Title Escape from a Cuban Prison is a Perfect Beginning and is Exciting and Heart Pounding until the "Fill er' Up" Line. That's pretty much how the Movie Goes. It's Great and then Not.The Movie is Entertaining, to a point, if Repeatedly Frustrating with its Silliness (the Tarzan yell). It Routinely Stops the Tension with Buffoonery, Loons, and Goons.Overall, Mid-Range Bond, with some Severe Over-Acting and Over-the-Top Stuff. Probably More Bond Girls here than in any other. Some of the Violence is Visceral and Brutal but doesn't Mix all that well with the Goofing Around.Maud Adams and Her Chiseled Cheek Bones is the Title Character, but Her Acting is Awful and Her Pet has more Charisma. As a James Bond Movie it is a very Mixed Bag, but as a Fluffy Popcorn Film, it can be Fun.

FilmBuff1994 Octupussy is a decent movie with a reasonably well written storyline and a talented cast. It's an enjoyable Bond film, mostly because of Roger Moore, who is still terrific in the lead role in his sixth outing as 007, he's cool, slick and very funny, his one liners here are particularly excellent and it's what makes him stand out from other Bond actors, his scenes with Maud Adams are the best as the two have undeniable chemistry. It's biggest problem is that it never takes itself seriously, Moore is fine but other characters have comedic lines and it dosen't suit, I liked how it worked in previous movies, where every other character was dead serious while Moore made jokes that they didn't respond to, it almost feels like a parody of a Bond film at times instead of an official entry in the series, seeing Bond dressed as a clown is simply ridiculous. The story is also far too predictable, you can tell every move that is going to be made ten minutes before it happens, it's formulaic and never really tries to stand out from other Bonds, it's also very slow moving with too much dialogue and not enough action. It has many flaws, if you're a fan of James Bond, and particularly Roger Moore, then you should certainly watch Octupussy, but if you're looking for a genuinely good adventure film, give it a miss. James Bond is assigned to solve the murder of an agent who was killed while clutching a fake Faberge egg. Best Performance: Roger Moore

Rickting Octopussy is another Roger Moore Bond dud. Octopussy is about James Bond, following the death of a fellow agent, trying to stop another deadly plot which could start World War III. Widely regarded as one of the lesser Bond films, Octopussy is without a doubt a 2 star Bond movie. It's far from an unwatchable film. A James Bond film always carries an irresistible sense of escapism and this is no different. The location shooting in India is great and there are undeniably a few electrifying set pieces. A set piece on a train is a particular highlight and the film also features more screen time for Q. The theme song is OK. If you're in the right mood you may quite enjoy it and the plot is moderately interesting. It's also refreshing to see a Cold Ware thriller again, but that's part of the problem. Octopussy is an anachronism and can't decide what it wants to be. It has traces of Ian Fleming, with Roger Moore showing grit and the plot involving the Cold War, but it still goes for Moonraker level silliness. Bond dons a gorilla suit, a clown suit and does a Tarzan yell. With its cringe worthy humour and stupidity, these 2 sides of the film don't fit together at all.As for Roger Moore, he's looking far too old for Bond by now. The 2 Bond Girls in the film are both played by terrible actresses while the villain will be forgotten quickly. His henchman, who is a Bond cliché on legs, is wasted and not used enough. It doesn't even feel like a Bond film much of the time and undoes all of the good work done by For Your Eyes Only although the next film, A View to a Kill, undoes it even more. Is this a good film in the end? No. It's a flatly executed affair although still watchable. I don't hate Octopussy as it is fun at times, but it just feels anachronistic and it's clear the filmmakers yearn for the past but can't resist throwing in the stupidity that defines the Roger Moore era. The 6th worst Bond film overall, though probably one of the most enjoyable out of worst Bond films. If you don't notice its flaws too much it'll be a perfectly harmless and acceptable action film which still has those escapist thrills.4/10
