Written by George MacDonald Fraser, Richard Maibaum, Michael G. Wilson Starring Roger Moore, Maud Adams, Louis Jordan, Steven Berkoff, Kabir Bedi, Robert Brown, Desmond Llewelyn, Lois Maxwell Sequel to 1981's For Your Eyes Only Based on the short story by Ian Fleming |
This film wasn't the worst Bond film, but it wasn't the best. Roger Moore should have stopped with Moonraker, as I've said before. That being said, the film is not half bad, with Maud Adams's performance as the titular Octopussy standing out above the rest and, in my opinion, driving the film. Louis Jordan played a good villain, but not a very memorable one when compared to so many others. The film isn't awful, but it's not perfect either.

This was a decent James Bond film. Roger Moore was getting clearly older in the role and it makes you wonder why he didn't just stop two movies ago. Maud Adams's was great as the title character, bring both the beauty and the brains to the role. Louis Jordan did a good performance as the villain, but his particular villain wasn't exactly one of the more memorable ones. While this film isn't a terrible James Bond film, it's not great either. It's more of a decent Bond adventure.
