Review of For Your Eyes Only (1981) by Sgt. C — 06 Apr 2014

(59%).

After the craziness of Moonraker's space based fun, Bond returns in this more down-to-earth Greek set (mostly) adventure. The opening Blofeld based sequence is pretty clumsy, as it feels like the series forgot all about him for a good long while and then rather lazily dropped him in here to simply to tie up loose ends. After all that Blofeld did and was to say this is anticlimactic is an understatement. This is a better than decent, more level-headed entry that's just a little bit too bland at times, and lacks any real true excitement that films like these really should have in abundance. Worth a watch, but still lacking something.
