Despite a few impressive action sequences, this 007 caper remains as tired as Roger Moore's aging spy. The Ian Fleming spirit that briefly resurfaced in "For Your Eyes Only" has vanished. Instead, we're back to the slapstick silliness and lackluster villains of earlier Moore outings. Though an EON production, "Octopussy" was far less Bondian than Sean Connery's unofficial "Never Say Never Again." Customer Rating: Summary: 2.5 stars out of 4 Comment: The Bottom Line: One of the sillier Bonds, Octopussy features (obviously) a ridiculous title, Bond in clown makeup, an unimpressive story and an over-the-hill Roger Moore; watch the previous entry, For Your Eyes Only, instead of taking a slice of this turkey. Customer Rating: Summary: SO much high praise for this film, I dont understand why Comment: With so many Bond films to choose from, I cant see for the life of me why "Octopussy" seems to have an overwhelming amount of positive reviews. There were only about ten people who rated this film with an average of one to three stars, more then a hundred gave this film four to five stars, the question is WHY?? Its not the Moore is too old for the role, in fact he doesnt seem to out of place for the film, what is out of place is the ludicrious story line. First off, its already a thin plot, second off, it seems at time that you havent the slighest idea of what is going on. I understand that some Bond films seem to do this, and try to surprise the viewer with some twist and turns, but this story line was god-awful. I know that most Bond fans view the films for their action, and yes there is some decent action sequences here, but this film doesnt even come close to the first five Bond films, which were all four to five star efforts. Even the weaker movies of the series such as Moonraker, A view to A Kill, Diamonds are Forever, and The "Timothy Dalton" films that most seem to dislike, are head and shoulders or this stinker. This is the worst Bond of the entire series. Even though there is some decent action sequences, Missing is a good solid story, location, and women (there isnt a female character that stands out). All three are key componets of a Bond Film. Sure the action sequences are nice, and so are Bonds one liners, but this one forgets about Story and Plot, focues on all action and one liners, and just doesnt seem very Bond Like. Good for a one time viewing only. Two Stars Customer Rating: Summary: 007 Octopussy Comment: We received this product within days of placing the order. Thank you for your prompt services. Customer Rating: Summary: A nifty little addition to the series Comment: Released in 1983, Roger Moore's sixth outing as James Bond is a sterling example of everything we've come to expect from the post-Connery 007 franchise: It's got plenty of cheesy one-liners, rollicking action sequence, plenty of fancy gadgets, a nifty little car chase, a series of pretty ladies, and a veritable gardening club of evil villains who've worked up a diabolical (if needlessly convoluted) scheme that involves everything from Faberge Eggs to nuclear devices to a traveling circus. Moore is his typically suave, smug, sarcastic self, wisecracking his way through the adventure with a certain amiable pomposity. He's no match for Sean Connery's lethal cool, but he certainly is a lot of fun. In a way, that's the best way to sum up Octopussy's appeal: It isn't a classic in the same sense as Goldfinger, From Russia With Love, and Dr. No, but it's still a fantastic action movie, and a fine addition to any Bond lover's collection.
