July 24, 2011Definitely not as good as LIVE AND LET DIE, its serial predecessor, but still the good and typical classic 007 flick, with both talkiness and spy thrills strewn and peppered around here and there. The redundant music, unfortunately, started to get on my nerves and made me nearly... read more

June 1, 2011Decent and eventful enough to keep my eyelids open, but what's with all the bizarre and random occurences? I don't know if it's a common element in the Bond flicks with Moore, but in two out of two that I've seen with him so far, there's so much campiness that its bordeline parod... read more

August 21, 2010One of the best Bond films in my eyes. Love the villian, my fave Bond actor and a stunning location. What more could you want from Bond!

June 28, 2010I guess almost every Bond actor has had a few duds in them, well Timothy Dalton, George Lazenby and Pierce Brosnan to be more precise. This is the first of a few Roger Moore Bond flick that is just average. The man With The Golden Gun seems like a tired out entry in the series, ... read more

November 8, 2009Guy Hamilton, who is no stranger to directing James Bond films, comes through with another good adventure in The Man with the Golden Gun.
After a successful introduction that sets up the villain, Scaramanga, and provides a taste of the conclusion, the story becomes clear

September 23, 2009Classic Bond with that naughty little pervert, Herve Villechaize, God bless him.

November 28, 2008Roger Moore proves that a person other than Sean Connery can play James Bond more than once. The Man with the Golden Gun (Christopher Lee) is the best assassin in the world commanding one million dollars a hit and he's set his sights on 007. The plot of Scaramanga's (Lee) admirat... read more

September 29, 2008As Bond films go, maybe this isn't the best of the lot, but, hey, it deserves points for giving us ROGER MOORE in another good turn as James Bond. Moore had already perfected this kind of hero in his "The Saint" roles on TV, whereby he had some quick one-liners as he outwitted va... read more

March 1, 2008My personal favorite Roger Moore film, one of the best villains ever. Besides having a golden gun, three nipples, so FRESH.

The best Bonds, like the car that twirls, were sly without quite getting silly. The best Bonds also had Sean Connery, whose absence is sorely felt here. Full Review

The comparatively spare arrays of mechanical devices seem more a cost-cutting factor. Full Review

If you enjoyed the early Bond films as much as I did, you'd better skip this one. Full Review

The Man with the Golden Gun certainly isn't worth $1 million, but it's fine for the price of a video rental. Full Review

the first film that actually allowed Moore to get into the role without having to live up to Connery Full Review

A diverting but typically silly Roger Moore entry in the Bond canon. [Blu-ray] Full Review

Even the theme song sung by Lulu is a real lulu. Full Review

It is proof that exotic locations, girls, one-liners and a couple of car chases don't necessarily add up to a decent Bond film. Full Review

Roger Moore's Bond has got a rough deal over the year, but whilst this takes itself a little too lightly it has a lot going for it. Full Review
