Review of Octopussy (1983) by Simon H — 13 Mar 2008
After the success of For Your Eyes Only, Albert R. Brocolli was sure going to have a tough time repeating the success. Although Octopussy, I feel is not as good as the previous film, it still made a very good attempt at it. First we must start with the locations. India is a magnificent backdrop for the majority of the film. The elegant building and action sequence really made it feel different. The cast were again top-notch, with Roger Moore giving the viewer another wonderful performance as Bond, and Maud Adams returns to give a nice performance as Octopussy. Her performance actually makes you forget that she appears in another Moore Bond film. All the villains are outstanding too and Robert Brown bring an interesting new dimension to M.
The story is very easy to follow and the action will keep you hooked, with a amazing tense scene when he stops the murder of thousands of people. The music is actually very good and has that Indian feel to it. If you want to see a good Bond film, this one isn't bad.
