Octopussy Is probably one of my favourite James Bond films. Roger Moore for the 6th time brings elegance, charm, sophistication and suave into his acting as he takes on his next evil villain Kamil Khan. The film at times was a little cheesy but it adds depth to the film. Bond was never meant to be utterly serious, he was meant to be so good at what he does that he can be sarcastic. The bond girl Octopussy, is probably one of the most beautiful girls that James Bond has encountered! She brings also charm and sex appeal by just wearing a gown with the image of the blue ringed octopus on the back that she keeps in her tank. Magda also brings sex appeal when she leans back away from bond on the balcony and whilst in the air her clothes come off, slowly and with elegance.
The villain was good to play the part but didn’t have a very interesting death. Octopussy is full of entertaining action and thrills. Its definately a classic. Also, well done on Roger Moore’s part. He is the oldest James Bond actor and he has pulled of some of the hardest scenes!

Almost immediately, the quality control on Roger Moore’s Bond movies got the speed-wobbles, vacillating wildly between drama and ‘comedy’. This one cautiously continued the low-key feel of his previous effort ‘For Your Eyes Only’, but the forces of farce were massing for an all-out attack of the sillies (see ‘A View To A Kill’). They do make a couple of sorties into ‘Octopussy’, most notably when Bond swings on a jungle vine and Johnny Weismuller’s long familiar ‘Tarzan yell’ plays on the soundtrack. There is also an impossible ‘quick-change’ moment when Bond exits a gorilla costume in the time it takes for Gobinda to turn around. Yeahyeahyeah, so far so whatever. However, what really holes this one below the waterline is poor casting (Maud Adams as the titular character was a bore, Magda looked a bit fish-like, Vijay was a lump of wood dressed as a human and watch out for the scenery, lest the guy who played General Orlov start to chew it up) and a well-nigh unfathomable plotline. We’re in India, but there’s something about fake Faberge eggs, nuclear bombs, a travelling circus, and some sort of secret society composed entirely of attractive women in brightly-coloured leotards. There’s a big all-in mass punch-up near the end, and Bond defuses a nuclear bomb whilst dressed as a clown (now there’s an extremely effective age-disguising use of cosmetics. They should have utilised the technique on Moore for the entirety of ‘A View To A Kill’) but by then I’d long given up trying to follow the meandering storyline. Sir Roger wasn’t trying very hard this time and neither was anybody else, so why should we.
