Moore makes his first appearance as Bond - he's a different kind of Bond than Connery. After watching several of the Bond films you will develop a favorite. Mine is probably Connery just because he was in the 1st Bond film I ever saw. Moore isn't bad though.A reviewer for IMDb writes, "Several British agents have been murdered and James Bond is sent to New Orleans, to investigate these mysterious deaths. Mr. Big comes to his knowledge, who is self-producing heroin. Along his journeys he meets Tee Hee who has a claw for a hand, Baron Samedi the voodoo master and Solitaire and her tarot cards. Bond must travel deep inside New Orleans, through marshy grass and on water as he completes his mission. Written by simon"
All in all, I say: SEE IT - you probably already know the theme song.
#2 Man With a Golden Gun - 1974 - Moore
A reviewer for IMDb writes, "Scaramanga is a hit-man who charges a million dollars per job. He becomes linked to the death of a scientist working on a powerful solar cell, and James Bond is called in to investigate. As he tracks down Scaramanga, he realises that he is highly respected by the killer, but will this prove to be an advantage in the final showdown?Written by Graeme Roy
All in all, I say: SKIP IT - I didn't like it very much.
#3 The Spy Who Loved Me - 1977 - Moore
With every new film there is a push to get cooler opening credits and cooler gadgets. So if you end yup watching all the films the gadgets and opening credits become important to whether or not the movie is going to be liked - you will become a bit of a snob about it. A reviewer for IMDb writes, "James Bond is back again and his new mission is to find out how a Royal Navy Polaris submarine holding sixteen nuclear warheads simply disappears whilst on patrol. Bond joins Major Anya Amasova and takes on a a web-handed mastermind, known as Karl Stromberg, as well as his henchman Jaws, who has a mouthful of metal teeth. Bond must track down the location of the missing submarine before the warheads are fired. Written by simon"
The theme song is a classic. All in all, I say: SEE IT - one of the bad guys is iconic. This one is fun.
#4 Moonraker - 1979 - Moore
A reviewer for IMDb writes, "James Bond is back for another mission and this time, he is blasting off into space. A spaceship traveling through space is mysteriously hi-jacked and Bond must work quickly to find out who was behind it all. He starts with the rockets creators, Drax Industries and the man behind the organisation, Hugo Drax. On his journey he ends up meeting Dr. Holly Goodhead and encounters the metal-toothed Jaws once again. Written by simon"
A bad guy returns which makes this a little more fun. It is a little less believable than some of the other movies - warning. All in all, I say: SEE IT
#5 For Your Eyes Only - 1981 - Moore
A reviewer for IMDb writes, "After disposing of a familiar looking face, Bond is sent to recover a communication device, known as an ATAC, which went down with a British Spy ship as it sunk. Bond must hurry though, as the Russians are also out for this device. On his travels, he also meets Melina Havelock, whose parents were brutally murdered. Bond also encounters both Aristotle Kristatos and Milos Colombo. Each of them are accusing the other of having links with with the Russian's. Bond must team up with Melina, solve who the true ally is and find the ATAC before it's too late. Written by simon"
All in all, I say: SKIP IT
#6 Octopussy - 1983 - Moore
A reviewer for IMDb writes, "James Bond's next mission sends him to the circus. A British agent was murdered and found holding onto a priceless Faberge egg. Kamal Kahn buys the egg at an auction, but Bond becomes suspicious when Kahn meets up with Russian General, Orlov. Bond soon finds out that Kahn's and Orlov's plan is to blow a nuclear device in an American Air Force Base. Bond teams up with a circus group, which are headed by the beautiful Octopussy, who is also close friend of Kahn. Will Bond be quick enough, before World War III begins? Written by simon"
All in all, I say: SEE IT - it's another fun one.
#7 A View to a Kill - 1985 - Moore
Walken (Pulp Fiction) and Jones (model) star in this as well.
A reviewer from IMDb writes, "James Bond has one more mission. Bond returns from his travels in the USSR with a computer chip. This chip is capable of withstanding a nuclear electromagnetic pulse that would otherwise destroy a normal chip. The chip was created by Zorin Industries, and Bond heads off to investigate its owner, Max Zorin. Zorin may only seem like a innocent guilty man, but is really planning to set off an earthquake in San Andreas which will wipe out all of Silicon Valley. As well as Zorin, Bond must also tackle May Day and equally menacing companion of Zorin, whilst dragging Stacy Sutton along for the ride. Written by simon"
All in all, I say: SEE IT - classic 80s. This one was fun to see on the big screen.
