Review of A View to a Kill (1985) by Kyle20Ellis — 27 Mar 2022
That's not to say it is the worst, I'd say **** is the worst of the Roger Moore Bond movies mainly because it was so careless in the plot. However, despite some good things, this is one of the weaker Roger Moore Bond movies.
It looks beautiful though with some fun action, the music is good(with exception of the forgettable theme song), Christopher Walken and Grace Jones make for effective(if not particularly evil) villains and Patrick MacNee fares even better as Bond's right-hand man.
However, the story is over-familiar, predictable and contrived, the script lacks the wit and arch of other Bond films, the pacing is very uneven throughout consequently the film lacks that key ingredient-excitement and the direction is lacking.
Tanya Roberts is okay with what she has, which isn't much, all it is really is looking sexy, and while Roger Moore is nice and smooth he is truly starting to show his age in this one, no offence. Overall, it is okay but for a Bond film it is rather weak and disappointing.
