Moore really showing his age now, starting to feel bad for all the Bond girls, having to kiss Bond while his mouth is covered in old man white lip crud. It’s an all time high. Rejected bottom of the barrel Bond girl name: Holy Kuntz

This may be my pick for most underrated Bond film. It has my favorite casino scene of the series ("Double sixes. Fancy that."), two gorgeous Bond girls, clever action, and surprisingly genuine suspense in the final act. Vijay is one of my favorite Bond allies, and Roger Moore is at his most charming despite gradually advancing age. This film is pure comforting nostalgia to me, one of my rainy-afternoon films, and makes me grin from one end to the other. (Ytadel's series ranking: #9 of 24)

The eighties was a difficult period for many and also for this franchise. It has long since stopped being spy thrillers, but is too slow paced to be a straight-up action movie and the jokes are too bad for it to be a fully fledged action comedy. What this movie really reminds me of is the Danish softcore porn movies from the sixties. Probably not what they were aiming for.

The climax has a fantastic plane stunt, but what comes before is 1 of the franchise's worst. Although Adams is a quality Bond girl - high-cheekboned but exuding enough strength that she can plausibly run a crime organization - nothing here feels fresh, esp the one-liners (the series hits a nadir as Bond swings through the jungle while yelling like Tarzan). Worse, the pacing's terribly slow w/ too much of it dragging & killing suspense as it intercuts too many banal circus scenes w/ a bomb chase

Octopussy is a mix of Austin Powers, The Naked Gun, The A-Team, Indiana Jones and a super-serious spyfilm with an atomic threat. Guess what, that doesn't work. Some of the jokes are ok but fall flat. The plot starts ridiculous (MI5 investigates jewel theft) and never gets interesting because you already know what will happen. If you cut 30 minutes of "serious" stuff and Moore (55) staring at breasts (~20) it might be an effective spoof. Also her dad called her Octopussy? Is her last name Trump?

Octopussy is one of Moore's better Bond films, though it's not without its problems. The first two thirds are reasonably enjoyable, as they quickly cover the checklist of Indian stereotypes during a "car" chase (in 3-wheeled taxis). The theme song, gadgets and Bond girl, all felt like they were going through the motion, but it's well-paced. The final act ups the silliness a bit too much, and catching the bad guy after saving the world seemed anticlimactic. That Tarzan scream though!

The atrocious acting by nearly everyone, including Moore, the dated action and a plot revealing no imagination or effort for anything but money by pandering to the petulant and materialistic side of mostly certain men, amongst other things, make this a Bond film so shitty I can largely paste my review from prior Bond films. Similar to those other films, its datedness does cast an absurdity appeal over it, but it requires looking at it from an angle so sharp partial delusion is needed to make it.

By this stage Moore is looking more like a pensioner armed with Rohypnol on a round-the-world cruise than a dashing jet-setting man of mystery. Confusing plot and a lame villain jar with some interesting set pieces.

With more menacing villains this could have been the best of Moore's outings as 007. 'Octopussy' is never great but it works well on its own, campy terms as a quite entertaining yarn. Parenthetically. I'll note that I find the fact that I seem to be assimilating to the series' brand of fairly low humor more than a little worrisome.

Another fun Bond movie but not one of the better Moore Bond films. The plane and train scenes are both intense as hell and make for a satisfying conclusion to the film. Had the villain been at least somewhat menacing this would've been a better movie, you never feel any sort of threat to Bond at any time because of him. Vijay was great as Bond's sidekick and Octopussy was dimwitted but decent. Nice to see my boy Q finally get some strange though.

I really appreciated what they were trying to do here but once you get into the muddled and confusing plot, the movie starts to lose its sense and just becomes impossible to follow. It was nice to see a Moore-driven Bond film get a bit more down to earth, so to speak, and I really enjoyed the attack on Khan's castle, but it was let-down by the plot, the length and James Bond in a clown costume; did we really need that? Overall there is a feel that Bond films are taking a turn for the worse.

Your tolerance levels on this one depend on how you find 50-year old Roger Moore running around in a Gorilla outfit seducing beautiful 20-year old women and battling Indian thugs and the Russians, who want to blow up the Berlin Wall in a over-complicated sub-plot to start a war with Europe. The Train fight is genuinely quite good though.

Hard to rate: kind of uneven. Bond sometimes seems lost and confused. His struggles in Germany are like a frat hazing, where he would wear increasingly silly costumes and be mocked. On the other hand, many of the scenes in India are great and while it has stereotypes, the action is fun. The characters were nice too: Vijay, Octopussy and her girls, Gobinda. The final assault was a riot. So one could go: why a clown, why a Tarzan yell? But consider instead all the crazy memorable moments instead.

When you look at the films of Nolan or McQuarrie, it's easy to see where they get their inspiration from. Octopussy is yet another incredibly fun Bond film, full of great action and iconic stunt work, with Moore dishing out hilarious one liners like his character's life depended on it. There's an undeniably campy quality to the entire thing, but it's unjustly been judged to be of inferior quality when in fact, it makes the film such a pleasure to sit through. "Having problems keeping it up, Q?"

Not much to say here, more of the same as For Your Eyes Only only in different locales. The villain is the best in a while thanks to a decent scenery chewing performance from Louis Jourdan, but otherwise it just a bland film that tries to fill some energy with rote stunts and mild but frequent humour, most of it ineffective.

Roger Moore is awesome. This movie is so much fun. I don't see why people hate it so much. Ok, I get it... Roger Moore isn't Sean Connery. If you go into this movie knowing your going to get some awesome 80's campy fun as opposed to the more serious Connery era you'll have a great time. The highlight of the movie is the scene when Moore emerges appears in the mouth of a faux alligator while infiltrating the island lair of the all female Octopussy Cult. Classic!

A lesser outing in the Bond catalogue, "Octopussy" is not without its thrills but I found it rather underwhelming on the whole, especially when compared to its predecessor, the very good "For Your Eyes Only" (which was also directed by John Glen). It's a worthwhile film overall, but we know that everyone involved can do better than this.

One of the most OTT Bond films, which is well served by its quick-changing exotic locations, villains and girls. Roger Moore is hardly convincing as either a professional spy or a seductor of women, but for comedy value he contributes to some good moments. A rather ridiculous but fun action-comedy, and a lot more watchable than some of the later stiff, polished entries in the series.

Octopussy is undoubtedly one of the weakest and most underwhelming Bond films of Roger Moore's run and the entire series. Bar the casting and welcome return of Maud Adams in a completely diferent role, the supporting characters and villains are all forgettable. There still remains a handful of enjoyable set pieces, but there are one too many ridiculous moments that tarnish the film. Every Bond film should aspire to be bigger and better than the last. And ultimately Octopussy failed to do so.

A more traditional Bond film but Moore was now on the decline as Bond, so much so that this coincides with Sean Connery's return to the role in Never say Never again. An average villain in Kamal and less action packed than usual. Some good locations and Maud Adams returns to Bond for the second time. Again Roger Moore suffers as an ideal bond working with poor material.

It's not as bad as some people say - a lot of the zaniness in Octopussy provides genuine laughs, Louis Jourdan makes for a fittingly debonair Bond villain, and it's a very pretty movie to look at for 2 hours. That said, there was no reason for it to be nearly as long as it was, and the plot is bizarre and confusing. Seriously, WHAT were the villains even trying to accomplish?

First Bond I saw in the theater! Glen's arrow-straight direction worked wonders in For Your Eyes Only, but here, he's out of his element...The plot screams cold-war crime and espionage but keeps getting pulled into Moonraker wackiness and Glen clearly has no sense for the campier side of Bond. Even worse, the film is written into a corner which results in a nonsensical tacked-on ending simply to justify the movie title. But, the action is great and the aerial/clown framework is neat.

If not the "all time high" the theme song suggests, it is, as the song also says, "a sweet distraction for an hour or two." In fact, it's very nearly Roger Moore's best Bond, a highly satisfying adventure--and a fine ticking-clock thriller. The plot is complex (perhaps too much so), Louis Jourdan is a great suave villain, the Indian locations are lovely, and the action scenes are plentiful and thrilling. Maud Adams is a bit weak in the title role, but Moore is in fine form--even in clown makeup.

It began and ended with airplane stunts. You thought Tom Cruise was the first to hang off the side of a plane taking off? Bond beat that by 32 years.

Another extremely poor entry in the dredge heap that was the back half of Moore's career as Bond.

Bond dressed as a clown diffuses a nuclear bomb. Another clown steals a gold egg and gets murdered by identically dressed twins. Maud Adams only being eighteen years younger than Bond makes her feel like his grandmother. Octopussy is her name but also the name of her octopus? Bond escapes his captors via vine and Tarzan yell. Bond and Ms Moneypenny flirting looks like a depends advert. Octopussy only employs women and excels in the male dominated arena of smuggling. Maybe the best film ever made

The India scenes are a complete waste (except a fine death by octopus) and the film is in need of an intimidating villain. Still, it's impossible to complain about the final, exciting 1/4.
