Summary: 4 Stars
Octopussy is easily one of Roger Moore's better Bond films. Though not as big as "Spy Who Loved Me", or as tight as "For Your Eyes Only", this certainly has a lot more going for it than the overblown "Moonraker", and the lesser movies "Live and Let Die", "Man With The Golden Gun", and "View to a Kill". Octopussy begins with one of the more exciting pre-credits scene in a Bond film, and continues with a nice story and memorable characters and more, but original, great Bond action.
The story revolves around a crazy Russian general, who's thirst for conquest of Europe goes to such great lenghts to eventually set a bomb to explode at a circus in Germany where very important officials will be attending. The movie's main villain - Kamal Khan - works for this Russian, and Bond spends all his time and efforts taking him down, along with his nasty Indian henchman who always seems to be there ready for a fight. Kamal also works for a woman named Octopussy (who Bond wins over no less), but puts her in harms way eventually, adding to the conflict.
Kamal is a fine villain in this film. Cold and ruthless at times, he can stand up to par with any other villain of the Bond franchise, but I suppose he does not have the classic feel. His henchman makes his presence known throughout the film as well, and fights Bond in two of the most exciting scenes in the film - ontop of a moving train and airplane. The two Bond girls in the film actually have in-depth charcater, and don't come off as ditsy dummies. The rest of the cast is likeable too.
The action is plentiful and stisfying. In addition to the incredible train and airplane fights, there are chases and even a hunt for Bond in the jungle - led by Kamal and his men. The locations still remain original, specifically the large portion of the movie setting in India. There are also scenes in Germany and a nice scene at Russian headquarters.
Ocopussy is easily the most underrated of the Bond films. The fact that Bond is dressed in a clown, swings through the jungle yelling like Tarzan, or even the name of the title for this film should not be enough to discourage it. The story is solid, as are the charcaters and action.
