Yeah, my grandparents told me how they watched these when they were kids.

Both NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN and OCTOPUSSY were okay, I watched as a teen and probably the latter is a better-made film.

Differing opinions on the AT THE MOVIES show - video still online for it:
Ebert argued something to the effect: with a Bond film, you GET a bond film with the silly plot and with action that makes up for the story.
Gene Siskel said "Thumbs down!" and he argued something like it was all too implausible - he felt it took him out of the movie; both are credible and accurate statements, I bet.

After 1980's the Bond movies seemed to taper off and much sillier in quality. Not always, but many of them.
