I actually found this one very thrilling (in fact, some of the series' biggest thrills were found in OCTOPUSSY). The acting done by Roger Moore still isn't all that bad, and, sure, it's got the occasional silly, risqué double entendre (well, duh; the title's OCTOPUSSY after all)... read more

Everytime I watch Octopussy, I hope that I'll enjoy it a bit better. Unfortunately, this is not the case. This is by far the worst Bond film since The Man With The Golden Gun. The film is supposed to be serious, but it's just very silly. Example: Bond swinging from a vine and a r... read more

This film made me blush in front of my mum when all the ladies had not many clothes on and Bond saves the day dressed as a clown.

Why do we love Roger Moore as 007? Not only can he look good while saving the world, he also got some of the best lines in the Bond movies, infuriating to the bad guys and near provocative to the ladies... you couldnt help but laugh and say "Only Bond can say that and get away wi... read more

Roger Moore got his AARP card in this one and it shows. The story takes 007 from looking into stolen Russian artwork to a plot to start World War III in a tale that is a little difficult to process at times. Maud Adams returns as the title character with Louis Jordan playing the ... read more

One of the worst Bond/Moore flicks in the series, the whole thing looks terrible with dodgy stunts, bad sets and unconvincing fights and acting. The girls are pretty good in this..especially the female army in the final battle and the whole idea of being set in India is a nice or... read more

As a Bond fan for more, I must admit I love all Bond films. But OCTOPUSSY is the best of all them all; it's also my favorite movie. Roger Moore is in top form, John Glen's direction is excellent, the plot is complex and rich, and John Barry's music is wonderful. Moreover, Louis J... read more

masterful over the top excitement!!!
Moore delivers one of his best potrayels of Fleming's super spy...
Critic Reviews
Film's high points are the spectaccular aerial stuntwork marking both the pre-credits teaser and extremely dangerous-looking climax. Full Review
Bond had degenerated into a male model, and something of a genial anachronism. Full Review
Makes no pretense of being based on anything except the Ian Fleming character and the high good humor and wit of the film makers. Full Review
There's a fine line between wit and absurdity, and this particular movie too often falls on the wrong side. Full Review
Little is added that departs from the Bond formula. Full Review
One for the die hards. The saving grace here is a knowing sense of humour so lacking in its predecessor, For Your Eyes Only. Full Review
The Roger Moore Bond days are drawing to close, as this weak entry shows.
