Review of For Your Eyes Only (1981) by Raji K — 25 Jan 2014

The Spy Who Loved me claimed For Your Eyes only to be next, but Moonraker was made to appeal to the Star Wars Fans so Bond is really back this time in For Your Eyes Only. For Your Eyes Only might be one of the most forgettable Bonds in the series. It is not a bad film by any means, but it simply does not have hardly any elements that set it apart from most action films.

Bond Girl - 5/5.

Carole Bonquet is stunning as most Bond girls are. She might be one of the less chatty Bond girls, but she is out for revenge which is different.

Gadgets - 1/5.

There are various equipment items such as submarines, and cars that get Bond around, but really nothing that gets Bond out of a jam like previous Bond films.

Villains - 2/5.

Blofeld finally meets his end in the opening sequence, but after that you have one of the most standard villains you'll find in any movie never-mind a Bond series.

Music 3/5.

For You Eyes Only is a silky and sexy song that is pretty good. Overall the soundtrack of the movie though really is boring or does not seem to really capture the mood for any given scene.
