Review of For Your Eyes Only (1981) by Alex R — 28 Jun 2010
For Your Eyes Only is a more serious return for James Bond. The film has a more plausible plot that Moonraker,and this may appeal to Bond fans. The action sequences are thrilling and well done, and This film is one of the most solid Bond films since The Spy Who Loved Me and Live And Let Die.
The film has a good cast, but a few weak points as well. One is Lynn-Holly Johnson's role as Bibi, fucking annoying and one of the worst "Bond" girls. She really doesn't qualify as a Bond girl cause she never successfully romances Bond.
Besides that, the soundtrack is silly, 1980's pop music, but oh well. This film has enough thrills to restore faith in fans who were disappointed with Moonraker. One of the better Bond films of the 1980's.
And in my book, the last great Roger Moore Bond flick.
