Review of The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) by 511Andahalf — 05 Feb 2021
Absolutely terrible Bond movie, easily one of the worst Bond movies ever. The movie just loses itself and goes all over the place. Seriously, Bond doing karate, that car flip with the whistle, and Bond sucking the bullet out of that woman's belly button is just ridiculous.
The Bond girl, Goodnight, is also very ditzy and clumsy, very annoying to watch. This is the only Moore film where I didn't really like his character all that much, I wouldn't expect Moore's version of Bond to slap women, suck bullets, and push a kid into a river.
The film is partially saved by Christopher Lee giving a good performance as Scaramanga, but it's enough to save this disaster of a Bond film. Overall, it hardly feels like an actual spy film since you don't feel the stakes, let alone a James Bond film.
