    This film made me blush in front of my mum when all the ladies had not many clothes on and Bond saves the day dressed as a clown.

    Why do we love Roger Moore as 007? Not only can he look good while saving the world, he also got some of the best lines in the Bond movies, infuriating to the bad guys and near provocative to the ladies... you couldnt help but laugh and say "Only Bond can say that and get away wi...( read more)th it..."

    The title of this movie is provocative enough... hehehe. But that doesnt take the shine of the thrills of the classic Bond series... the trademark action scenes and Bond style is evident by veteran director John Glen, responsible for 5 007 flicks and credited on 3 more.


    Guns, knives, beautiful women by the dozens and veteran International star Kabir Bedy as the ruthless henchman Gobina. Cars, planes, the entire movie is a classic Bond fest. Enjoy.

    Roger's a little long in the tooth here, but this one still has it's moments. Unfortunately not buying the action and sex though.

    It was OK. the throwing knives from the twins made bond historry
  • December 4, 2008
    Roger Moore got his AARP card in this one and it shows. The story takes 007 from looking into stolen Russian artwork to a plot to start World War III in a tale that is a little difficult to process at times. Maud Adams returns as the title character with Louis Jordan playing the ...( read more)main baddie. It's an OK little adventure but tends to drag as the film goes on. The best bits are when Q's on screen and features the classic quote I'm stealing and posting here:
    Vijay: Is he still there?
    Q: You must be joking! Double-0 seven on an island populated exclusively by women? We won't see him till dawn!

    This continues bringing Bond in shape, with an action thriller.The beautiful Maud Adams is back, like Octopussy.
  • January 17, 2010
    a typical example from the "awkward sexual humour" chapter in the Bond saga--if the title doesn't give it away, the plethora of bad puns and the island of scantily-clad women certainly will. this movie's kind of all over the place--maniacal Soviet generasl, exiled Afghan princes...( read more), circuses owned by lady smugglers operating their own private islands for women, knife-wielding twins, Roger Moore in a clown suit...lots and lots of action without much real charm or solid coherency. entertaining, but by no means top-tier.

    Still Bond. Not the best in the franchise, but it's still Bond.
  • January 1, 2010
    Not the best, but definitely a good James Bond. Roger Moore classic again.
  • December 18, 2009
    A great addition to the Bond movies. I love the opening act with Bond using a folding microjet plane to escape from a missile. As with most of Moore's movies as Bond there's plenty of one-liners to be had.

    Well the only James Bond movie I have watched is A man with a golden Gun and that was wickid I enjoyed it all the way through and I thought Roger Moore did a good job in it. Saw I can't wait to see this James Bond movie to see if it is as good as the other James Bond film.
