For Your Eyes Only VS. Octopussy.

These are two Bond movies that are kind of both right in the middle for me, and I am not sure if I like them or not.

FYEO gets points for being more serious and down to Earth, but it has a flat villain and flat Bond girl arguably.

Where as OP is maybe not as memorable as a plot and feels more by the numbers in story, but it has much more colorful characters. What do you think?

India is exquisite. It's all OP needs. Quantity doesn't substitute quality.

Nothing in FYEO stands out for me. There's that one shot from the balcony with Bond and Melina that looks gorgeous but other than that there's nothing of note.
