MCT:October 6, 2008The year this film opened in the movie house I remember absolutely hating this Bond movie. There just wasn't that much to like in this movie. I thought the trick ending was the only interesting original idea in the movie. Everything else in this movie seemed very old, trite, and absolutely boring.
Years ago back then I was thinking that with the latest dull repetition of the Bond formula, with the franchise aging, and also with many critics deeply despising this Bond movie the year it was released, I thought 'the Man With The Golden Gun' was going to be the very last film of the James Bond series -- that is until 3 years later when a very entertaining and rejuvenating 'Spy Who Loved Me' arrived and probably saved the franchise.

MCT:September 29, 2008As Bond films go, maybe this isn't the best of the lot, but, hey, it deserves points for giving us ROGER MOORE in another good turn as James Bond. Moore had already perfected this kind of hero in his "The Saint" roles on TV, whereby he had some quick one-liners as he outwitted various enemies. He's doing the same here as Bond and doing nicely in the action scenes as an additional requirement.
There are the usual car chases (very colorful one through the streets of Bangkok), the usual assortment of dangerous females with BRETT EKLUND being the dominant one, the usual gadgets to be used in a fight to the finish, and the usual spectacular stunts (this time one involving an almost unbelievable leap in a car), and the usual villains standing in the way of order and justice.
I have no complaints about this one. ROGER MOORE was always very acceptable as James Bond and seemed to get better with each film. This was only his second time out as Bond and he did improve later on--but that's no reason to complain, as others have done. Just sit back, relax and enjoy another Bond fantasy/adventure done in stylish ways and with CHRISTOPHER LEE as Scaramanga, the main baddie. -

Another descent outing from Roger Moore, but this movie is stolen by Christopher Lee as Scaramanga, easily the best lead Bond villain in the Roger Moore era. Nick Nack makes for interesting henchman, and its pretty funny when he and Bond fight. Britt Ekland is quite the ultimate Blonde Bond chick in this one too, looking great in a bikini but dumber than a box of rocks.

(No. 9)
Grittier than usual, Moore shows he's not just a pretty face by getting down and dirty, and holding nothing back from getting the job done. A dramatic car chase through crowded Thai streets ending with a daredevil jump over a broken bridge keeps the viewer glued to the screen. The overall cinematography of stunning island locales provides a treat for the eyes, while Q's nifty gadgets continue to feed the imagination. Both Christopher Lee and Hervé Villechaize are a wonderfully villainous pair; Lee is suave and charmingly but Villechaize is downright creepily. However, a film is only as good as its weakest link, and in this case, Agent Goodnight's character falls severely short by being nothing more than a blond ditz. It's lucky that an otherwise solid supporting cast and a tight story make this film a success. -

An unusually intimate Bond film where the Villian (played wonderfully by Christopher Lee) creates a cat and mouse scenario with Bond. The finale in the maze is memorable and the nutty car chase with the sheriff has one of the most classic car stunts. The film is both exotic and slightly more serious in tone then the previous two. The martial arts scenes are also fun to watch. All in all, a strong improvement for Bond in the 70s. A shame the blond bimbo is so poorly written.

MCT:September 7, 2008What can I say? I saw it becouse my friend brother wanted us to.. But I can´t say that it was bad.. just not my kind of movie.

MCT:August 25, 2008As good as Christopher Lee is as the villain here and as effectively as Moore continues to play Bond, there is just not enough periferally for this film to be liked. The story is quite lacking as for most of the film I kept consciously asking myself what exactly is going on here. The female spy matched with Bond is close to matching Denise Richards as the worst of Bond's girls as she is nowhere near smart enough to be Bond's equal and plays herself as quite a bimbo, when you come right down to it. And the Sheriff from Live and Let Die... why in God's name would they bring him back???

It's a Bond, anything else to said? Paco Scaramanga is a Catalan assasin trained by KGB
he usually shoots "named" bullets with victim's names on it
gold bullets of course from a solar powered gold gun -
MCT:July 26, 2008Roger Moore and Christopher Lee are a great combination in this Bond installment. an entertaining film, and the chase/battle between the two leads at the end is pretty intense.

Christopher Lee+that midget from fantasy island+cheesy karate fights+hillarious misoginy = Me happy.

MCT:July 21, 2008
Christopher Lee rules and the misogyny is through the roof. Gold stars all around.
Also there's a midget! -

A fairly routine entry in the James Bond series. Christopher Lee plays the title character and proves to be much more interesting than Roger Moore's Bond.

Christopher Lee makes this film better than what it might have been with another magnificent performance as a villain. I recommend.

Après réflexion, il me semble que The Man With the Golden Gun demeure l'un des grands classiques de toute l'épopée Bond. Au premier abord, il m'avait semblé ridicule que cet opus n'ait pas réellement de mission pour James Bond, autre que d'éviter l'assassin Francisco Scaramanga. La course à l'énergie solaire me semblait alors davantage un prétexte secondaire pour donner un semblant de quête au héros alors que l'intrigue était assez faible. D'ailleurs, certains éléments du scénario étaient assez faibles, et je déplorais encore à quelques reprises l'étonnante facilité de James Bond de se dégager de n'importe quelle menace.
Et pourtant, la confrontation entre Scaramanga et Bond s'est finalement épicée au fur et à mesure que les secondes s'égrénaient, à un point tel qu'il s'agit là d'un des premiers ennemis de toute la série qui aurait réellement pu assassiner facilement James Bond s'il l'aurait voulu. Christopher Lee est décidemment l'un des rares excellent acteurs qui est parvenu à partager la tête d'affiche avec le personnage de James Bond, et sa présence n'est certes pas sans jouer dans la haute note que je lui décerne. -

#13 -- Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT the worst James Bond movie ever made. TMWTGG is purely entertaining and, although not nearly as good as some of Moore's other entries, it has some terrific moments. Christopher Lee is especially good as Scaramanga.

Possibly my favourite Roger Moore Bond film. Much more simple than usual, with no OMG end-of-the-world supervillain, and Christopher Lee is great as Scaramanga.. but the theme tune's rubbish.
-
MCT:May 17, 2008A great 007 movie. funny, pluss it was some swedish joke here with the swedish Britt Ekland, Swedish are so stupid. i was cool with christopher Lee as the man with the golden.

Christopher Lee plays the antagonist in this Bond tale that has 007 trying to eliminate the assassin before his sights are on Bond himself.

The Man With The Golden Gun is one of the best James Bond movies that Roger Moore was in, I liked it quite a bit and it was a great movie.

MCT:March 1, 2008
My personal favorite Roger Moore film, one of the best villains ever. Besides having a golden gun, three nipples, so FRESH.

MCT:February 4, 2008
This bond film was better than most, sporting Chris Lee as a million dollar hit man. Bond is more awesome than ever as he beats up women to get information, and has sex with someone while he puts some other chick he was about to do in the closet.

MCT:January 26, 2008
Definitely one of my favorite James Bond films..but still not my favorite (Scaramanga)..it was a little dull in parts but that doesn't take away from Christopher Lee and some of the other great characters from the movie..Herve as Nick Nack formerly as Tattoo in Fantasy Island..I'll add more later but so far my ratings are..Diamonds are Forever, Live and Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Goldfinger, Dr. No and From Russia With Love
Next is ..The Spy Who Loved Me.. -
MCT:January 26, 2008
If your a Bond fan, this is a must see. Great cast with Roger Moore in his charming roll as 007. Christopher Lee as of course the villan, Scaramaga with a surprise under his shirt!

As this is Moore's earlier Bond work is far more superior in terms of character. Like the character he is arrogant and chauvinistic donning the line "you'll get your turn" to Goodnight after having sex with Andrea. What is also unusual is how he beats Andrea whilst interrogating her a dominate edge the actor and character would later loose. And its obvious that the character focus is on the parallels of Bond and Scaramanger as the "Girls" are most likely the weakest characters in the series. Adams is strong and confident as a character explaining why she entrapped James to kill her harrowing lover but as soon as we become intrigued she is killed off. Goodnight on the other hand is useless, her performance as a liaison officer is somewhat wavering as it appears to intelligent for her character. However they are both extremely pretty and add to the movie's collective charm. Though it is one of the weaker Bond movies its still a fantastic specimen of the series.
