Review of The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) by Paul B — 27 Dec 2009
Aruably Moore's best, but this is large down to Christopher Lee's superb performance as Bond's nemesis. All charm and one of the most straightforward and simple villian's his performance keeps a good tension between Scaramanaga and Bond.
As always the set pieces are are good the key with all Bond action is they are big scale [opening of Casino Royale] without being ridiculous [end of View To A Kill]), including the 'astro-spiral real car jump, all of which really makes this entry to the series good.
Together with the right mix of easy charm and cool Moore ensures this should be a hit (critics however, widely disagreed). Top Bond.
