But there were good movies like For Your Eyes Only and Licence to Kill.
I agree with this statement. "For Your Eyes Only" is my favorite Roger Moore Bond film, while "Licence to Kill" is my favorite Timothy Dalton Bond film. In general, I prefer the more "realistic" Bond films.
As an aside, I first saw "Licence to Kill" in a British theater with a British audience. When I got back to the States I saw it again with an American audience. The scene where Bond jolts awake in Sanchez's home and finds himself staring at a large ceramic fish got a big laugh in the British theater, but no laugh at all in America.
As for Octopussy, it's in the middle ground of Moore's films. I think his worst are "Live and Let Die", "The Man with the Golden Gun", "Moonraker", and "A View to a Kill". His best are "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "For Your Eyes Only".
