Isn't that because Octopussy is kinda... well... bad? There are definitely better Moore films but few are worse than it.

Octopussy is better than A View to A Kill and Live and Let Die and arguably Moonraker if only because of General Gogol's plotline and the theme song

Man from U.N.C.L.E. was also hurt by a movie trailer that felt longer than normal. Another thing to consider with a modern Modesty adaptation: the last movie made the mistake of making her and Willie love interests. They were never that in the comics, so keeping the original state of the relationship (professional/platonic) would help keep the movie from being like all the others.

Oh, and they would need to cast someone who is not built like a whippet.

Gemma Arterton please.

Now we just need a young Michael Caine-looking type to play Willie.

So shoot me. I like Diamonds are Forever. Besides the moon buggy scene and probably a bunch of other ones that I find convenient to forget.

Granted, not the greatest by any stretch of anyone's imagination. Guess I have a soft spot for old school Vegas.

There's nothing wrong with liking Diamonds are Forever.
