After somewhat of a backfired attempt at returning the Bond series which had descended to rampant silliness to a coldly serious polar opposite in For Your Eyes Only, director John Glen skilfully melded a more serious and visceral tone with... Full review

When this one came out, it was getting pretty obvious that Roger Moore was growing out of playing 007, but the movie itself has all the action a Bond fan needs. Had Timothy Dalton took over from here, Octo***** and A... Full review

There is a switch in the 007 film series. Both Moore and Connery were 007. This film starred Moore as 007, but 1983 marked the end of Sean Connery as 007 with Never Say Never Again.... Full review

Critics Reviews
| Oct 23, 2008Time Out
The result is a bizzaro Bond that flits more jarringly than ever from peerless action and the kind of end-of-the-pier humour and busy innuendo that the previous film had largely dispensed with.
The plot is the usual nuclear palaver but is merely an excuse to transport James to India so he can run through his repertoire of infantile curry gags and get entangled in the criminal arms of Maud Adams and her cadre of female thugs who all belong to a cult that worships, of all things, the octopus.

While Octopussy doesn't measure up with the best the series has to offer, it stands as a pretty good movie that provides more entertainment than the average Moore outing.
Octopussy isn't the best Bond movie or DVD

Maud Adams, the eponymous Octopussy herself, fails to sparkle - she heads a band of female jewel thieves but has precious little to do.
Octopussy" fails : when Moore starts galumphing round New Delhi in a gorilla costume borrowed from a travelling circus, one can only assume he's gunning to be headhunted for the remake of " Planet of the Apes ".
