Luckily the next four Roger Moore Bonds get much better after a strange intro in Live and Let Die and whatever this movie is. Second worst RT score so far behind A View to Kill. I have this as the worst Bond at the moment. It does have a better IMDB score than everything prior on this list. One of the lowest grossing movies, second lowest next to View that isn't a Dalton or Lazenby Bond. The idea of a golden gun is cool, but that's where it ends. The invisible laser beam does nothing. All four of the Guy Hamilton directed movies arguably get worse with each outing. (Goldfinger, Diamonds, Live, and this). Christopher Lee is a treasure and deserved better than the tan, fake nippled assassin (even though he enjoyed the role), very similiar to Walken. So it's basically Scaramanga (Lee) wants to kill Bond, invites James to his island, James comes, James kills Scaramanga, shrug emoji. There is a fun house hall of mirriors shoot out that happens with a wax Moore, which is the best way I can describe it. That might be the only memorable part to the whole thing. Nick Nack, whom I think Oddjob is supposed to be in the Golden Eye game, is Scaramanga's tiny assistant. They bring back J.W. Pepper for reasons that are completely unknown to me. The only movie that I actually rented for this re-watch. My dvd died right in the middle of this what seemed like 45 minute boat chase so I couldn't not finish it. There is nothing stand out that really happens during the entire runtime. The screenplay was just not good. The amazing Spy Who Loved Me came next and likely saved the franchise.
