Scaramanga: "You see, Mr. Bond, like every great artist, I want to create an indisputable masterpiece once in my lifetime; the death of 007".
The story is about a a scientist working on a solar cell winds up dead, Bond investigates the murder and finds it leading to $1 million hitman Scaramanga. But Bond also makes himself a target for the deadly assassin who holds a healthy respect for Bond, but doesn't mean he won't take down the spy.
In my opinion The Man with the Golden Gun is a solid Bond film with great action and a good theme song. But the biggest thing that held this movie down for me was the main character himself James Bond. At the start of the movie he was a big jerk, like he tried to break a girl arm to try to get answers out of but she didn't know nothing, But as the film went on he wasn't such a jerk like the beginning of the film. I got to admit I actually liked Roger Moore as James Bond in this film, he felt like Bond towards their end of the film. The villain in this movie was so good and so interesting, and Christopher Lee played him so well. The visual effect's in this movie was well done and for a movie that was released in 1974, it had some pretty nice effect's, better than today's effect's. Overall The Man with the Golden Gun was a solid Bond flick with a great villain and a good theme song.
