What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite a couple of electrifying action sequences, Octopussy is a formulaic, anachronistic Bond outing.

Bob Thomas Associated Press "Octopussy" is the 13th of the James Bond movies, and it is one of the best. Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Gary Arnold Washington Post It's a pleasure to report that the James Bond company is confidently back on the beam. Oct 6, 2015 Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Reader 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. Oct 13, 2008 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn It is a slow and drawn out film that tries but fails to engages. Rated: C- Aug 28, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy I've seen the Bond movies countless times over the decades, and this title above all is the one that fluctuates the most from one viewing to the next. Rated: 3/4 Sep 25, 2021 Full Review Jake Tropila Film Inquiry It's an easy film to hate (and often paints a big target on its back encouraging you to do so), but it works perfectly as a piece of entertainment, where the good ultimately outweighs the bad.

thiago s Filme bacaninha para mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, as cenas de ação salvaram o filme, mas a cena do avião até que ficou bacaninha, e nesse filme teve mais diálogos do que cenas de ação. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Tagen K An amazing action movie and possibly the best James Bond movie in the series. I’m not sure what the critics are on because it’s great and I wish I watched it sooner. I stayed away from it because of the reviews because normally they’re right, but here they weren’t, it’s a must watch for action movie fans. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review Mary S Filled with cliches about Indians/Sikhs/tiger hunts etc. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review James P The Bond film that should of starred James Brolin. Moore was starting to look old, tired, craggy and out of breathe. Breathtaking opening sequence and Maud Adams is hot! Poor choice of villains not menacing enough for me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Liam D The first real dud of the bond franchise, Roger Moore and Louis Jourdan do a great job but they are stuck in a convoluted plot that has some ridiculous and silly moments Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Mark J I’d say a slight step up here compared to the last outing. Mainly due to some good action. Still appears to be stuck in a rut with its humour and lack of plot however. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
