Review: James Bond has been given a task of uncovering a megalomaniacal Soviet general who is stealing jewellery and art objects from the Kremlin art repository. Bond meets his match once he meets the mysterious Octopussy, and the discovery to disguise a nuclear attack on N.A.T.O. forces.
Director: John Glen
Actors: Roger Moore, Maud Adams, Louis Jourdan, Kristina Wayborn, Kabir Bedi, Steven Berkoff, Desmond Llewelyn, Robert Brown, Lois Maxwell, Michaela Clavell, Walter Gotell, Vijay Amritraj, Albert Moses, Geoffrey Keen, Douglas Wilmer and Andy Bradford
Year: 1983
Genre: Action, Adventure and Thriller
Conclusion: 3/5
This is the 13th Bond instalment. In my view this is one of the weakest Bond films, although, this movie earned $187 million worldwide. Octopussy’s real name is Octavia Charlotte Smythe. It is somehow lacking in action and I can’t say much about the script. It is almost as if John Glen completely lost his way. The reason why this movie’s title doesn’t appear in the song is because nothing rhymed with it. If you are looking for a Bond film to watch with gadgets in, this is not the film to watch!
