      The best and worst Bond man with the golden gun

      After watching the whole film, my personal feelings about this film are as follows:

      1. After "Thunder Valley", the film once again moved the stage to the East of Asia. It turned out that the 007 series had already been filmed in Macau before "The Sky Fall". . . . .

      2. The plot of the story is relatively concentrated, there is no big conspiracy that is earth-shattering, there are no multiple reversals usually seen in spy movies (in fact, the whole series does not have this...

      The Man with the Golden Gun-A piece that can be watched but it is a pity

      The plot of this episode is not bad, and the overall rhythm is relatively compact, making it easier to watch. This point is that the appearance of 007 is not to tease the girl, but to report directly at m16. The very neat opening part is left to shape the image of the villain. And pave the way for the final duel.

      What I am most optimistic about is this good drama tension, especially the final shootout. Bond disguised as a wax figure in such a trap and organised environment, and the...

      Finished watching "007 09: The Man with the Golden Gun"

      Roger Moore's second 007 series is not good-looking, but it is not so satisfying.

      In this movie, you can see the handsome and handsome Roger Moore version of James Bond, the happy criminal gold medal killer villain played by the young Christopher Lee, the Southeast Asian style of martial arts and the grumpy fat police officer. ——The last one contracted most of the jokes of the film. In addition, the part where Bond can't hit the whistle and turn to the boat is really exciting...

      Seems familiar? ...

      Until last night, the online login device kept "user online abnormal". I watched "The Man with the Golden Gun" one night and discovered that this movie was actually seen as early as in elementary school... I
      have always liked to scold Dushanzi's video broadcast. It's all rubbish, but recently I discovered that some of the movies broadcasted like "Sandwich Cake" and "Minus 8 Degrees" are mostly director's cut versions, and they also have commentary audio tracks and commentary...

      Finally, a charismatic villain appeared, Saruman in the white robe, who looked a bit like the godfather. Bond in this episode is like a rascal. God-like opponents, pig-like...

      . . . The villain catches 007 several times and doesn't kill it~~ It's too easy to say something~ Are you a fool? How did you become the villain? . . . The ps martial arts movements are childish and ridiculous. ....

      After so many episodes, the mode of 007 is basically fixed. The Man with the Golden Gun is the best villain in the first nine episodes. It's a pity that the dummy device and the mirror array are not used very...

A gold pen serves as the barrel, the lighter serves as the barrel and the hammer, the cigarette case serves as the handle and...

    Evaluation action

    "The Man with the Golden Gun" wants to convey a lot of pop culture elements to the audience, but almost everything it wants to express tends to be superficial and lack connotation. The content of the film is fairly fresh, but the comedic expression of the film is a bit different from the style of the 007 series of films, and the passage of the film showing Kung Fu is also a bit abrupt. Several villains in the film performed very well,...
