What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Bob Thomas Associated Press Oct 17, 2018
"Octopussy" is the 13th of the James Bond movies, and it is one of the best. Go to Full Review Gary Arnold Washington Post Oct 6, 2015
It's a pleasure to report that the James Bond company is confidently back on the beam. Go to Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Reader Oct 13, 2008
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.

C-
It is a slow and drawn out film that tries but fails to engages. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Sep 25, 2021
3/4
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. Go to Full Review Jake Tropila Film Inquiry Oct 14, 2020
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

stephenpaul C @ash20261234567890 Sep 13, 2026 The worldwide gross is $183,700,000.00. See more Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Jul 24, 2026 Roger Moore is looking a little too old for Bond here but this is goofy fun. It hasn’t aged well but I love the fighting female force here. This has great action scenes and beautiful locations too amidst the hokey scenes. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 10, 2026 Bond se disfarça de palhaço é bem horrível, e aquela luta final super suspeita. See more Ed B. @EdLee Jun 27, 2026 Octopussy , far from one of the better of James Bond films. Still has some exciting sequences. Bond travels to India to thwart renegade Russian General from exploding American base. Also , pursues jewelry smuggler named Khan. This movie is ok , not great. See more IAM M @IAM1655 Jun 7, 2026 One of the worst and funniest Bond films I have seen. Maud Adams returns as Octopussy after her outing in The Man with the Golden Gun as Andrea Anders. The villains are kinda boring, not really anything fun. Gobinda is the type of henchman that tries to be like Jaws. See more David D @David2026 May 8, 2026 Another great entry in Roger Moore's iconic Bond resume. See more Read all reviews
