Review of For Your Eyes Only (1981) by Oliver G — 31 Dec 2017
I remember having fond memories of this James Bond but on return it wasn't the classic I remembered. The best Roger Moore, James Bond is The Spy Who Loved Me but this film is no dud. The no gadgets and take no prisoners style is brilliant, the action scenes are great, the chase on foot by Bond is a classic.
The pacing is a little off and the bad guys just seem happy to let Bond run all over the them with a crazy amount of luck. The henchman of the film never misses a shot but can't shoot Bond? The film suits the Moore era but in the crazy gadget period this film stands out as one that stood apart.
