Octopussy

"Glen's willingness to give the action sequences a certain weight and seriousness produces some genuinely exciting moments, yet his work is everywhere undermined by the flatness of the characterizations and the uncertain architecture of the plot" 

"Much of the story is incomprehensible (...) Peter Lamont's production design is both extravagant and funny." 

"Film's high points are the spectaccular aerial stuntwork marking both the pre-credits teaser and extremely dangerous-looking climax" 

"If the plot is no great shakes, the whole thing is served up with a decent approximation to the old panache" 

"As titles go, 'Octopussy' is one of the silliest, most convoluted, and embarrassingly innuendo-ridden imaginable. A perfect summation of this movie (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"`[While it] suffers from an evidently ageing Roger Moore, a surfeit of daft postmoderny gags (...) and a lack of focus for the villainy, there’s still a good plot at work here (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
