Review of For Your Eyes Only (1981) by William C — 28 Jan 2015

Grade:High 6/10.

For Your Eyes Only is a Bond that just serves to show that Roger Moore.

Even at this age, is still up for a fight and a scrap and to save the.

World from certain danger. The plot is fun and of course a little silly.

As we come to expect but the film is pure entertainment and can be.

Enjoyed by anyone who wises to let it do so. With a great cameo from.

(HEADS UP, MAYBE A SPOILER),Blofeld among other fun things, I felt this.

Film was strongly an OK film, and here below is why I just felt that.

Way about this piece.

Bond is fun as ever in this and even though he is ageing, he still.

Manages some good fighting talk and uses gadgets to the best of his.

Ability. I liked the setting for this one and the story gains from it.

With some beautiful things used within and things such as Bond being.

Dragged through Coral being oddly nice to look at. The movie is a.

Distinctly faster speed than some of Moore's previous film, or maybe.

That is just the great 80's score used in chase scenes among other.

Parts also. The story brings Bond into the eighties with a bang and.

Serves up a fun adventure with a maybe more darkish theme.

Moore does what he always does, play Bond with charm, wit and humour.

And still manages to save the day without firing a shot, in this one.

Moore can sometimes seem less suave and more commando as he even climbs.

A rock face, and he doesn't wear a tuxedo whilst doing it. Carole.

Bouquet as the Bond girl is good and actually isn't one his girls who.

Seems scared of getting into the action, she is used just as much when.

It comes to violence and action. I also enjoyed Bond's little group of.

People he uses who help him in the film and make for a film where Bond.

Is used in a team.

Script is fun and so is directing, whether or not either being fun is a.

Good thing is up to you to decide. As I previously mentioned, the.

Setting is wonderfully beautiful and makes for a Bond set in some.

Exotically if not always in the same place locations. I liked the sets.

Used which were some of the best we have seen in Bond so far, with the.

Underwater scenes which you will see as the forefront of this films.

Great production design which was smartly efficient.

The film suffers the same fate a lot of Moore's also do, he just.

Doesn't seem like a real special agent, and at this age you would think.

His bones would be taking a bit hit from all these stunts, nevertheless.

Moore does seem to glide through them effortlessly. Some parts are a.

Bit slow in all honesty and can bore you if you don't pay attention.

Because some parts are just packed with dialogues, where as some parts.

Are overly used action so although it works out well in the end, bit's.

Can be partly dull.

All Bond film fans should enjoy this as it is Moore being his ever self.

And doing everything he usually does, he doesn't change much at all but.

It still works well. I think those who enjoy seeing Bond do a little.

More fighting may be slightly disappointed as it lacks in that area,.

But only just a little in anyway. The film is also not one to say it is.

Solidly rational, so if you are looking for rational action and.

Adventure, stay away from this one, and on that note, all of Roger.

Moore's stints.

Overall I give it a high 6/10, I did feel it was Strongly OK and worked well as.

A Bond film for me. This is the kind of Bond where you have to watch.

With a smile on your face and just enjoy it as a film, forget if some.

Bits don't seem that real, just enjoy it to it's fullest, may not be.

Near the best Bond movies either but still does a good job of.

Entertainment.
