Review of Octopussy (1983) by Brad S — 15 Nov 2015
One of the better Bond films from Roger Moore (his best being his first without a doubt). Great action sets including the excellent opening sequence with the mini-jet. Locations are some of the best in the series and do fit in with the story.
I think one of the highlights with Octopussy is that the humour is played down to a minimum here, a few gags are let off though like Bond yelling like Tarzan as he swings from tree to tree!
There are some genuine moments of suspense in this film which is all but gone in previous films, such as 007 disarming a nuclear bomb in front of thousands of circus goers.
One of my favourites Roger Moore films as Bond: funny script in part, good cast. The only weak part I thought was the theme tune.
