The Man With The Golden Gun

Title: The Man With The Golden Gun
Rating: Three Spotlights

Movie Wrapped Up:
This time, James Bond isn't jumping into the action... the action's jumping onto him! A golden bullet belonging to a famous assassin is delivered to MI6 HQ, and it has James Bond's number. This assassin is after James!
James goes after this assassin himself, going once again to China. But he discovers there's more to all this, and it's not just his life...

Script:
This had an interesting twist. It didn't start where it usually did. But while the idea was a good one, the story itself needed work. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It was one of those iffy, not-one-or-the-other stories. This is not one of James Bond's shining moments, but it wasn't the worse either.
There's not much else to say about the story.

Action:
Again, it's iffy. This movie didn't have you hanging on the edge of your seat all the time. It didn't have many gadgets in it, though it was nice to see Q again. Again, this section was iffy.

Mad Take:
As you can tell from above, it's not one or the other. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. It might be something to have on while you're playing your video game, or working on something, and want something playing on the TV. But this wasn't the best James Bond movie (though I will say that it was better than On Her Majesty's Secret Service).
I've said this a couple of times, but this movie was just an iffy, neither bad or entirely good movie.
