Cool government operative James Bond searches for a stolen invention that can turn the sun's heat into a destructive weapon. He soon crosses paths with the menacing Francisco Scaramanga, a hitman so skilled he has a seven-figure working fee. Bond then joins forces with the swimsuit-clad Mary Goodnight, and together they track Scaramanga to a Thai tropical isle hideout where the killer-for-hire lures the slick spy into a deadly maze for a final duel.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The early movies of Ian Fleming's stories of the arch british agent James Bond, were all badly acted slapstick movies for children. Only when Timothy Dalton took over, the novels cool wit and class finally came through. Pierce Brosnan made it even more believable, and Daniel Craig gave us chills down the back for his gritty realism, without losing any of the former. But this one, alas, only shows how embarassingly bad 70's movies could be. But back then people baught it! Myself included :)

I enjoy this particular entry about on the same level as Moore's previous Bond flick "Live and Let Die", some intriguing elements but the final product comes out to be above average. Once again Moore is fantastic and having the awesome Christopher Lee as the villain is genius casting. I also liked how this film played around with the idea of having Scaramanga being an evil-version of Bond. It's just a shame that Lee is criminally underutilized and the plot takes a few too many detours (Ex. The really pointless martial arts tournament sequence). Thankfully, the Roger Moore era of the Bond franchise is about to finally take off in the next entry "The Spy Who Loved Me"!!

The Man with the Golden Gun is a great movie with a reasonably well developed plot and a talented cast. It stands out from other Bonds as being one of the only ones where the villain really steals the spotlight. Christopher Lee is outstanding as Scaramanga, both charismatic and thrilling. Moore brings in incredibly witty dialogue and his scenes with Lee are the films highlight.There is a large lack of gadgets, which I found to be the weakest factor. I find the new machinery to be one of the funnest and most unique aspects of every Bond film, and not bringing in any this time around left me underwhelmed.The story is also extremely by the numbers, there is no plot point that is unexpected or exciting, it feels as if it's all going through the motions.More so than the action, the performances are what stand out in The Man with the Golden Gun, and I feel that is the main thing that makes it a worthwhile watch, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good adventure film. Bond searches for a missing solar device and finds himself the target of a dastardly assassin. Best Performance: Christopher Lee
