Review of Octopussy (1983) by Tony P — 24 Jul 2008
I agree with the film reviews upon its 1983 release.
The film is too long and for a Bond film the screenstory is complicated (perhaps the influence of George MacDonald Fraser in the screenplay?).
Moore is by now officially too old. In the fight scenes he is creaky and I just get the feeling he requires asthma medication too often. Only the excellence of the second unit stunt team make up for Moore's lack of action skills.
I can just imagine a younger Bond (say Timothy Dalton) making a much better effort.
