Octopussy

This is by far the best of the Roger Moore Bond films in my opinion. I may be prejudiced since "Octopussy" was the first Bond film I saw theatrically, but I absolutely loved it back then and it still holds up today. The plot is a fine blend of the serious stories of the early Connery films and the humorous touches of the Moore era. Add to that a smooth villain in Louis Jourdan, delicious over-the-top counterpoint from Steven Berkoff, a formidable henchman in Kabir Bedi, two exotic Bond girls in Maud Adams and Kristina Wayborn, beautiful location photography in the rich "travelogue" style (did India ever look as good as it does here?) and a great John Barry score and you can't go wrong with it at all. The tense buildup in the bomb countdown which has Bond donning clown makeup at one point is probably one of the most exciting in any Bond film. Roger Moore hit his peak playing Bond in this film and the proof is how he seems so much better than Sean Connery does in the inferior "Never Say Never Again" that came out that same year. It's a pity that Moore didn't go out with this one, since "A View To A Kill" was so poor by comparison. By all means rent this, watch it and have fun!

seriously people have no taste left in good cinema they hate great fun filled adventure classic films like this & watch those lame new James Bond ones that Daniel Craig makes. why this film gets hated so much is beyond me i mean it Octopussy may have a lot of flaws but it gets the job done to entertain the audience many times. this film came out with never say never again 1983 another James bond film that started Sean Connery as bond for the last time both of these films are my favorites but right now i am going to talk about Octopussy. The Plot: after the murder of few British agents 007 James bond(Roger Moore)traces the link between expensive Faberge Egg,Circus Show & Russians this leads him to India where he encounters Kamal Khan(Louis Jourdan)who has evil plans to start a new world war & Octopussy(Maud Adams)a mysterious woman who knows about much more about him then he does himself. the cast:excellent cast i must say i enjoyed everyone's performance but Indian actor Kabir Bedi deserves a special mention for playing henchmen called Gobinda he is a more evil version of Jaws,Maud Adams is amazing in the role of beautiful Octopussy she was also in the man with the golden gun but had a limited role in this film she shows a much better acting skills,Kristina Wayborn is one of the hottest bond girls ever she is a circus girl here & what can i say about Roger Moore the icon as James Bond he is weaker here but did a lot of exciting action i loved him here. there is comedy here with Q that goes little too far when he is busy fixing some gadgets bond finds a TV camera & zooms in on the girls breast then Q responds by saying i haven't time for these adolescent antics this whole scene is fantastic. i don't know about others but i loved this film for what it was its got a good script superb direction by John Glenn,the fight scenes on train & car chase is brilliant the opening sequence & climax are equally balanced & well shot. the Russians & nuclear storyline is a bit overdone but James bond visits various cool locations in this movie specially India. Overall Octopussy 1983 is just another best film in Roger Moore's career as James bond this film is underrated & way better then any new action films releasing these days my rating is 10/10.Highly Recommended
