Editorial Review:
Roger Moore was nearing the end of his reign as James Bond when he made Octopussy, and he looks a little worn out. But the movie itself infuses some new blood into the old franchise, with a frisky pace and a pair of sturdy villains. Maud Adams--who'd also been in the Bond outing The Man with the Golden Gun--plays the improbably named Octopussy, while old smoothie Louis Jourdan is her crafty partner in crime. There's an island populated only by women, plus a fantastic sequence with a hand-to-hand fight that happens on a plane--and on top of a plane. The film even has an extra emotional punch, since this time out 007 is not only following the orders of Her Majesty's Secret Service, but he is also exacting a personal revenge: a fellow double-0 agent has been killed. Two Bond films were actually released in 1983 within a few months of each other, as Octopussy was followed by Sean Connery's comeback in Never Say Never Again. The success of both pictures proved that there was still plenty of mileage left in the old license to kill, though Moore had one more workout--A View to a Kill--before hanging it up. And that title? The franchise had already used up the titles to Ian Fleming's novels, so Octopussy was taken from a lesser-known Fleming short story. --Robert Horton

Rating: - A nifty little addition to the series
Released in 1983, Roger Moore's sixth outing as James Bond is a sterling example of everything we've come to expect from the post-Connery 007 franchise: It's got plenty of cheesy one-liners, rollicking action sequence, plenty of fancy gadgets, a nifty little car chase, a series of pretty ladies, and a veritable gardening club of evil villains who've worked up a diabolical (if needlessly convoluted) scheme that involves everything from Faberge Eggs to nuclear devices to a traveling circus.

Rating: - [4.5] All the ingrediants to make a great Bond film
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.
