Review of For Your Eyes Only (1981) by Steven1981 — 24 Mar 2020

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY is a 1981 action and adventure film involving James Bond played by Roger Moore... There are a few good scenes such as ••• Roger Moore and Q (Desmond Llewellyn) identifying a villain on screen using Moore's description and Q messes up and Roger Moore says "His nose is not a banana, Q!" before eventually getting a match after a print out of the villain and his details.

••• James Bond climbing up a rock face with a badguy at the top trying to smash some clips above that are holding Roger Moore dangling from a cliff so that's all that's supporting him in terms of safety so in theory trying to kill Roger Moore so he falls but Roger Moore climbs up the cliff using rope and strangely his shoe laces before reaching the top and throwing a knife at the badguy before he plummets to his death.

.. We have a beautiful Lynne Holly-Johnson who seduces Roger Moore who plays James Bond but Roger Moore refuses to sleep with her on the basis she's still a kid. A Lotus car similar to the one or the same as the one in The Spy Who Loved Me but painted a reddish colour and used to no great effort or effect.

Carole Bouquet as a horribly unsexy Bond girl and who seems dull and uninteresting at times and boring and she uses a crossbow weapon, the villains are laughable and some of the characters are stupid and unnecessary.

The under water scenes suck and some of the action is poorly done and the story isn't great. One of Roger Moore's worst Bond films that feels flat most of the time.
