With the best bond movie (in my opinion) over I was nervous that the next one would be dissapointing but was I wrong yes. What a follow up Moore is very impressive in this as bond giving a great performance as does the rest of the cast. Christopher Lee is a memorable baddie as Scaramanger two brilliant bond girls B.Ekland and M.Adams and the action is excellent with possibly the most memorable car jump ever. Overall I loved this and Moore continued his great bond.

This was the very first bond movie I saw and i still love it. It opens with a great pre credits sequence (which i did not know was a miniture) has very good title track and what I think a believeable romance with bond LADY M. Adams (who is much closer to Moores own age than any of the other bond girls he worked with). Although the island of women stuff is a bit over done I still think that this is a very good bond adventure much better than some (die another day,world is not enough,quantum of solace and diamonds are forever).

Collecting the seven movies featuring `official' Bond number three, Roger Moore:
Live And Let Die: Roger Moore's debut in the role of James Bond is a pleasingly dated blaxploitation pastiche, which, though it has not aged well, still endures as an oddball 1970s' crime thriller. Yaphet Kotto's villain is well-played, Jane Seymour is gorgeous as Solitaire, and the alligator farm sequence and resulting speedboat chase are two of the series' most famous scenes. Also, Paul McCartney's theme song is possibly the series' all time best.
The Man With The Golden Gun: Moore's second film in the series is possibly the series all-time worst; like Diamonds Are Forever, it forsakes plot logic and any attempts at realism for low-brow comedy, daft ... Read More:

Facing up against a rival Bond project for the first time since You Only Live Twice - and one with Connery attached to boot - the obvious expectation was that once again the Broccoli camp would pull out all the stops and come up with one of the best Bond films yet. Instead, this is the one where they threw in the towel and began copying others rather than leading the pack.
For Your Eyes Only had gone head-to-head with Raiders of the Lost Ark and come off the worse. As a result, Octopussy shamelessly copies its market chase and truck sequences to remarkably little interest or excitement. Even the location seems second-hand - in 1982-3 you couldn't move for film crews in India, what with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Far Pavilions, The Jewel in ... Read More:

late summer, 1973: 'CUBBY' BROCCOLLI dines eloquently in London's WEST END, enjoying an exquisite menu; in his full-dinner jacket tuxedo, he resembles a LATINO, aging BOND. CUBBY is satisfied as he tots up the worldwide box-office reciepts to 'LIVE AND LET DIE'; it has been a deserved hit with global cinema audiences, and 'CUBBERS' [along with 'partner-in-crime' HARRY SALTZMAN] have successfully steered the once-ailing BOND series back to world-beating status, securing further cinematic mayhem in the same profitable mould.......
------it's a total mystery, then, exactly why BROCCERS and SALTZMAN made a concious decision to scale back the epic scope of the previous winner, and to pare back production values in this next, more modestly-mounted entry. Gone are ... Read More:

"Rollerball" is a superb film, possibly one of the best I have ever seen. Not only does it portray a futuristic dystopia where tyrannical global corporations have replaced nation-states as the sources of economic and political power(a 1970's vision which is now a reality), but it is also a compelling action movie and a poignant parable about tyranny versus free will; the collective versus the individual.
James Caan puts in a memorable performance as Jonathan E , the ageing Rollerball champion, whose cult of personality eventually becomes too much of a threat to the shadowy corporate directors' social engineering schemes. Rollerball, a vicious indoor combination of Speedway, Gridiron and Ice Hockey ,is supposed not only to distract and brutalise the masses , but to highlight ... Read More:

I have to say, I agree. I always said to my friends, "How come the three best Bond movies all have Gold in." My friend said "Gold means good!"
The best Bond films are in this pack. Sean Connery confronts a deadly enemy in Goldfinger, who turns everything into gold - Auric Goldfinger. In The Man With The Golden Gun, Christopher Lee stars as Francisco Scaramanga, an assassin who plans to use solar energy for destructive purposes, and GoldenEye. GoldenEye stars Pierce Brosnan as 007 James Bond.

This wretched 007 movie continued its downhill slide with Roger Moore in the leading role. Eyebrow Moore sleepwalks through the proceedings, which gives Christopher Lee carte blanche in terms of scene stealing. The film starts promisingly, then plummets to absurd depths.
Diamonds are forever is bad but this is nonsense.
