how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 25 comments (19 from Metacritic, 6 from TMDB reviews) — 8 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 8 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“It has a big theatrical beginning with a clown running for his life from two knife throwing twins. Well, the clown isn't 007, so you know what happens to him. It's an excellent start for an excellent theatrical story.”

“It's a suspenseful spy movie that doesn't also yearn to be a wacky, winking blockbuster.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“George MacDonald Fraser, Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson are responsible for the story and screenplay, which was directed by John Glen, who does much better than he did with "For Your Eyes Only." However, the material is markedly better, and the budget seems noticeably larger. Peter Lamont's production design is both extravagant and funny.”
Vincent Canby, The New York Times · 90
“One of the snazziest, wittiest productions in the history of the serial.”

“This finds Bond on better form than he's been for some time. The action sequences are tighter, the visual gags more inventive, and if the plot is no great shakes, the whole thing is served up with a decent approximation to the old panache.”

“Film’s high points are the spectaccular aerial stuntwork marking both the pre-credits teaser and extremely dangerous-looking climax.”
Staff (Not Credited), Variety · 80
“Octopussy, the 13th of the Bond adventures and the sixth to star Roger Moore, isn't as exhilarating as "The Spy Who Loved Me". But it's the most enjoyable since then, in large part because it's not trying to be the ultimate anything. [13 June 1983, p.77]”
