Such a frustrating disappointment

Please don't spend money on this.

Expected more

Best movie ever!

This is one of the great Bon films. James Bond not only acts for the good of the world and His Majesty, but exceptionally is also out to save his own neck after he is threatened by a nefarious killer. As is usual there is a hottie or two, exotic locations and a 'golden gun.'The acting is top notch and I have to mention the always always impressive Christopher Lee.A good film that proves the saying 'they don't make them like they used to' is completely true. By the way, I am a teenager so not 65 and I still loved it.

Movie Review: "007: The Man With The Golden Gun" (1974)The Ninth Bond movie marks a turning point in the "007" movie series. Producers Albert R. Broccoli (1909-1996) and Harry Saltzman (1915-1994) about to go separate ways after the accelerated production period of "The Man With The Golden Gun" just 15 months after the "Live and Let Die" release, which builds on newly established "007" actor Roger Moore's convinving interpretation of the proper-shaping character of MI6-Spy James Bond in this beyond "Spectre" organized screenplay by Richard Maibaum (1909-1991) and Tom Mankiewicz (1942-2010), son to Academy-Award-Winning director Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909-1993) and actress Rose Stradner (1913-1958), following the leading character of Francisco Scaramanga, portrayed by actor Christopher Lee (1922-2015), who gives a decisive and demanding Bond Nemesis, which results into an uniquely-received pistol duel between Bond and Scaramanga in a mirror room, "Enter The Dragon"-reminding, interior location.Director Guy Hamilton, concluding his final picture for the "007" series, favors the narrow 1.85:1 aspect ratio over CinemaScope 2.35:1 in use since "Thunderball" (1965). Producers handed out the highest production budget by any James Bond movie to that day of estimated 13 Million U.S. Dollars, shooting on location in Thailand and China, which works for exotic-mood-sharing action sequences ranging from Karate hand-to-hand combat, a standard car chase to an accomplished river-boating pursuit scene.Bond is able to keep his freedom with out abduction in "The Man With The Golden Gun" by meeting Scaramanga on a gentleman-dining level, which leads to further encounters with two women. On the one side actress Maud Adams, the shy introverted beauty Andrea Andres at Scaramanga's side. On the other side also-Swedish actress Britt Ekland, who becomes Bond's witty and light-hearted blonde journalistic girl-friend, who cannot be compared on spy-engaging levels with former female appearance of chemistry-building actress Jane Seymour in "Live And Let Die" (1973).The Bond-girl character of Mary Goodnight becomes in continuity too innocent to enter any action of Scaramanga's showdown-bringing secret cove island, where suspenseful surprises flaten out in the picture's end, which seems to have another lavish up to 125 Minutes editorial, when the December-releasing Ninth Bond movie demanded another accelerated action-thriller as "Goldfinger" (1964) to present itself as a welcome alternative for also-releasing "The Godfather: Part II" (1974) directed by Francis Ford Coppola.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

James Bond (Roger Moore) is led to believe that he is targeted by the world's most expensive assassin (Christopher Lee) while he attempts to recover sensitive solar cell technology that is being sold to the highest bidder.The highs and lows of this film. The high is the casting of Christopher Lee, who always makes a good villain, and it is wonderful that he was able to be part of the Bond franchise. The low is the crappy theme, which some have said is the worst in the entire series. Worst or not, it is far from good. Somewhat redeeming it is the track called "Hip's Trip", which was later memorialized by the Prodigy in their song "Minefields".While already a good film, it probably grew in stature following the video game "GoldenEye", as it really made the golden gun part of popular culture. Those who have never seen the movie know that one shot from the golden gun... and you are dead.

Directed by Guy Hamilton and with a script by Tom Mankiewicz and Richard Maibaum, this is the ninth film in the 007 franchise and keeps Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli as co-producers for the last time. In this film, the second where Roger Moore embodies 007, the main subject will be the energy crisis and the advent of so- called green energies, issues that were very present at that time, due to the oil crisis and the beginning of ecological concerns in society.In this film, the British agent is threatened by an assassin called Scaramanga, famous for using a pistol and bullets made in gold. Discretely, Bond decides to set off in pursuit of his new enemy, with the permission of M. The clues lead him to Beirut, to the Portuguese colony of Macau and finally to Hong Kong, where Scaramanga kills Gibson under Bond's nose. Gibson was a scientist who invented a way to harness solar energy and alleviate the world's dependency on oil. Bond must now recover the stolen technology and goes to Thailand where, after many adventures, will join forces with his colleague Mary Goodnight, an English spy who is both beautiful as stupid. Finally he meets Scaramanga. The chase takes Bond to the island's villain, which takes the final confrontation, full of surprises.In this film, Roger Moore will continues the formula started in "Live and Let Die": sarcastic and calm in any situation, his Bond is also a natural seducer, kind and gentle, contrasting to the rudest posture of Sean Connery, while not giving any value to women who seduces and which quickly drops when it suits his mission. A curious note: the mechanism created by Scaramanga in his island for the use of solar energy, despite the science fiction touch, is very similar to solar panels we have today but I don't know if this was a "jules- vernian" stylish prediction or if, even then, we could logically predict the course of technology in this field. One of the most famous scenes of this film is the gold-covered woman, in a probable homage to "Goldfinger", an earlier franchise film where this scene first emerged. Another memorable scene is the car chase where Bond, to cross a water channel, makes a dangerous 360° rotation with the car, similar to Evel Knievel shows, a popular icon from these time.In addition to James Bond and Mary Goodnight (Bond-girl played by the Swedish Britt Ekland), the film brings again J. W. Pepper, which was a big hit in the previous film and works here just as comic element. The villain, Scaramanga, was played by the immortal Christopher Lee, whom the seventies ran particularly well thanks to vampire movies. His helper, the francophone dwarf Nick-Nack, was taken by the talented and funny Hervé Villechaize. The also Swedish Maud Adams embodied Andrea the second bond-girl of this movie, the only 007 movie (I think) with two bond-girls interpreted by actresses from the same country.
