Movie Reviews of Octopussy
Movie Review: SO much high praise for this film, I dont understand why
Summary: 2 Stars
With so many Bond films to choose from, I cant see for the life of me why "Octopussy" seems to have an overwhelming amount of positive reviews. There were only about ten people who rated this film with an average of one to three stars, more then a hundred gave this film four to five stars, the question is WHY?? Its not the Moore is too old for the role, in fact he doesnt seem to out of place for the film, what is out of place is the ludicrious story line. First off, its already a thin plot, second off, it seems at time that you havent the slighest idea of what is going on. I understand that some Bond films seem to do this, and try to surprise the viewer with some twist and turns, but this story line was god-awful. I know that most Bond fans view the films for their action, and yes there is some decent action sequences here, but this film doesnt even come close to the first five Bond films, which were all four to five star efforts. Even the weaker movies of the series such as Moonraker, A view to A Kill, Diamonds are Forever, and The "Timothy Dalton" films that most seem to dislike, are head and shoulders or this stinker. This is the worst Bond of the entire series. Even though there is some decent action sequences, Missing is a good solid story, location, and women (there isnt a female character that stands out). All three are key componets of a Bond Film. Sure the action sequences are nice, and so are Bonds one liners, but this one forgets about Story and Plot, focues on all action and one liners, and just doesnt seem very Bond Like. Good for a one time viewing only. Two Stars
