Review of For Your Eyes Only (1981) by Patrick M — 01 Jan 2009

For Your Eyes Only(1981).

Starring: Roger Moore, Carole Bouquet.

Director: John Glen.

For Your Eyes Only is another phenomenal Bond film starring the great Roger Moore as the popular action hero. This entry in the series is a bit more silly and campy than some of the others, however that?s all part of its charm. There are quite a few scenes here that will have you laughing out loud, especially the opening scene. Carole Bouquet is a wonderful Bond girl, she?s a very beautiful brunette with a pretty face and stunning features. Director John Glen crafts each scene with immense skill and style. The main reason why I love this series is because of its limitless creativity. These films are endlessly imaginative and full of surprises. Roger Moore?s version of Bond is quite entertaining. For Your Eyes Only is a very thrilling and also very comical action film with many spectacular scenes and amazing performances. The Bond franchise is clearly one that will never die or fade away. This series has so much going for it and can be taken to so many different levels, that its nearly impossible for it to ever end. You can really do a lot with a franchise like this one. Roger Moore isn?t the best Bond of the franchise, however he?s still quite amazing in the role. He?s not as seductive as Sean Connery or as tough as Daniel Craig, although he comes pretty close. Carole Bouquet is one of my favorite Bond girls, she gives a very enjoyable performance here. I have a thing for brunette?s with nice legs, and she had both. For Your Eyes Only is a masterwork, plain and simple. A superb work of genius filmmaking. Brilliant in all aspects. Its nearly impossible to describe the pure brilliance of this film. The theme song is a bit soft and mellow, however it works pretty well for the film. John Glen manages to maintain a fast enough pace and keeps the story interesting as it moves along. The best thing about this film is definitely Carole Bouquet. She?s wonderful and seductive. For Your Eyes Only is one of the finest Bond films you?ll find and a true classic. Few films are as enjoyable, compelling, and thrilling as this one. The film ends on a very funny note and keeps you wanting more. This is a brilliantly, beautifully crafted action film. Exceptional and extraordinary in every way imaginable. A film you?ll want to see again the second its over. Skillful and masterful. For Your Eyes Only is a wonderful, wonderful film.*.
