Has Bond met his match with Octopussy, the mysteriously beautiful woman who is involved in a dangerous military plot? Nah... of course he hasn't but it's fun to see how he saves the world yet again...

Octopussy sees Moore, quite literally, clowning around in yet another action packed rollercoaster of a movie but he's starting to show his age and if you listen carefully you can hear his bones creaking throughout.

This is pretty standard fare for a Bond movie but what makes this worth purchasing, for the umpteenth time, is the additional material on the DVD: Commentary from John Glenn, a documentary featuring Peter Lamont and music video are just three of the extras included.

Roger Moore kissing woman young enough to be his granddaughters and acting with his eyebrows make this all the more interesting. Not the best Bond to date but it certainly beats Moonraker.
