Leave your thoughts about The Man with the Golden Gun.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzEven the theme song sung by Lulu is a real lulu. |
| The GuardianMichael HannLive and Let Die borrowed from blaxploitation; The Man with the Golden Gun took a couple of kicks at kung fu, though in a distinctly half-hearted fashion. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesPerfectly embodying the best and worst of the Roger Moore 007 era, this is a fun Bond adventure that ultimately fails to fully meet its potential. |
| 7M PicturesKevin Carrthe first film that actually allowed Moore to get into the role without having to live up to Connery |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonPerhaps the most inconsistent of all James Bond pictures, with some outstanding moments and sequences sitting quite blithely next to absolute rancidity. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeEnjoyment requires denying the increasingly problematic truth about Bond: As heroes go, 007 represents a bygone notion of the privileged white man taking what’s his and leaving destruction in his wake. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxYou cast Christopher Lee as a Bond villain and you find a way to blow it?! |
| Sky CinemaRob DanielFor this movie 007's license to thrill had definitely been revoked. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonAction-packed Bond film has sexual situations, shooting. |
| The Film YapNick RogersWhy did a tale that could've been a bit ragged - and a nice stretch for Moore - become simply a so-so romp? Chalk it up to the franchise's nervous need to capitalize on other genres' zeitgeist -first, blaxploitation, and here, martial arts. |
