Review of The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) by Mike S — 31 May 2011

Decent and eventful enough to keep my eyelids open, but what's with all the bizarre and random occurences? I don't know if it's a common element in the Bond flicks with Moore, but in two out of two that I've seen with him so far, there's so much campiness that its bordeline parodic.

I mean, seriously, a villain with three nipples who was raised in a circus? And that's not even mentioning the creepy-looking midget (sorry, maybe I should say "little person", but that's the actual word they use in the film).

I couldn't help but think of Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies, which made me laugh when I wasn't really supposed to. Nice though that the two main Bond girls are both from Sweden. Quite a proud moment for us there.

Nevertheless, this is no doubt one of the weakest films in the whole series.
