Review of Octopussy (1983) by William C — 28 Jan 2015

Grade:High 6/10.

Octopussy is a Bond movie that people seem to dislike, but hey this is.

A film and is some good old fun, with a big adventure and more down to.

Basics Bond movie, Moore exudes delight and humour and makes this Bond.

Movie hugely enjoyable, not the best but enjoyable in any case. The.

Film does have it's more dull moments and some people believe it.

Demeans Moore's portrayal of Bond by making him do silly things, just.

Watch it and see what you personally think, I found it to be solidly a.

OK movie.

The story is slower than maybe others and revolves around one location,.

Nevertheless the film has plenty of what we want to see with some great.

Fight sequences and to say Moore was 55 at the time, they seem more.

Believable than many other Bond films. I liked the fact Bond went back.

To being a good old agent and even got his hands dirty to get out of.

Trouble, this for me is what being a special agent is all about, bar.

The crazy costumes and stunts. With fun characters too what isn't to.

Enjoy about this movie, definitely a solid story I felt.

Moore works hard to churn out this movie and although he is getting.

Much older, he does well to guide Bond through a movie that to be fair.

Is kind of rigid but nevertheless gives us entertainment. I didn't so.

Much like the villain who I felt lacked the quintessential things Bond.

Movie villains have, he isn't actually that evil and seems to want to.

Keep Bond alive more than finish him making for a weaker point of the.

Story. I liked the cameo by Indian tennis pro Vijay Amitraj who's.

Character was fun and always smiling even In dark situations, although.

The most cheesy part about him is when any reference to tennis is.

Brought up, which happens to happen a lot.

John Glen directs OK and although again this isn't his strongest Bond.

Movie, he still brings himself to make it just like the other Moore.

Movies(whether or not that is good, you decide). I particularly enjoyed.

The stunts and chases with one of the first Bond movie to have big.

Stunts on a very large if not crazy scale, yes we have had super.

Villains but in this we have such things as a car on rail tracks, oh.

The fun of the Moore chapter of Bond.

The film of course has things wrong with it, the cheesy sounds Bond.

Makes(you will see), the demeaning outfits(you will also see) and the.

Crazy sense that Bond isn't bothered with the mission ahead. Yes Bond.

Does act like he really doesn't care a lot and his over use of calmness.

In a bad situation severely affects him, especially when in action.

Scenes where it seems that no one is shooting at him he is that calm.

Overall there are things you could pick at for hours but just try to.

Enjoy it and you should, forget about absurdities for a while.

Again Bond fans should enjoy it with it's quirky sense of humour and.

Moore doing what he usually does, I find fans not of Moore's may.

Dislike this more than many or any of his others as this is the typical.

Moore we see and he doesn't always take his personality without taking.

The Mick a little. Those who like good fun and funny adventure should.

Love this, quite long if you do because it could be said it stretches.

Too much but I didn't feel it did, well not as bad as people say it.

Does.

Overall high 6/10 meaning a Solidly OK movie, closer to being good from me but.

I know 100% people will differ with there views. I feel most may have.

Mixed feelings on this and some may hate it, it is all a personal view,.

And what film ever has everyone who saw it loving it and wanting to see.

More of it. Watch without thinking so much of it and it is highly.

Enjoyable, watch it rationally thinking about film and comes crumbling.

Down, don't take Moore so seriously guys.
