Don't get too excited, it is worse than your typical one. It is almost admirable that John Glen, the director, has decided to go with an avant-garde structure.
And he doesn't hold back to make sure it stays that way. He keeps breaking record and this time he has managed to pull out the worst chapter in this franchise. Moore is the one with the most Bond films in his collection and he stole the worst ones too, that seems a bit selfish. There is little to say about the plot, characters or villain: none of them are good, and this movie, just like Live and Let Die, is skippable without a thing lost.

Moore admitted that by the end, he was too old for the role, and indeed, this movie may be the one that shows his age, and the series age and repetition, more than any. Like 20 years of Bond movies had passed on the scene and just slowly wrinkled it to petrification. The logic is worse, the directing is worse, the tension is worse, everything is worse. It's essentially the same scene as a famous one from Goldfinger, but done worse. There is only one scene I truly remember from A View to a Kill, and it is a sort of spoof of Goldfinger. The humour, the dialogues, the interactions, the plot, the everything, it is so "Moore's Bond era" but so dried up and tired, it is not even worth watching. The man that used to play a prancing aristocrat enjoying socialising is now a quite too old man playing a playboy murderer.īesides Moore himself being quite simply 58, and no amount of makeup was going to help with that, the movie is, in the image of Moore's films by that point, extremely overdone to death. In here, he's in his last and very, very much beyond done with the role. In LaLD, Moore was in his first outing and not into the role. I watched all 25 from **** to Spectre (including Never say Never again), I feel this is the third worst movie in the franchise.Ī View to a Kill is very simply the opposite of the 2nd worst, Live and Let Die. Back to the verdict: I say I is worthwhile and I give a bonus for the actors and their performance. I like both actors and favor Roger Moore but think that I do Sean Connery injustice with this. There is the age old question of Sean Connery or Roger Moore which is hard to answer. Overall this is the end of the age of Roger Moore as James Bond. The sets and optics look good and it seems they took a lot of care. A view to kill is in the lower tops for me. Soundtrack wise we get a better performance than the last movies. Again Q is a fan favorite and we got good gadgets.

I must also mention Patrick Macnee who is famous for The Avengers TV series (Not Marvel). Grace Jones as May Day is the first female lieutenant and has a good presence on the screen and is remarkable. I like both the character and actor but thing they could have done more with both. With Christopher Walken as Max Zorin we get an interesting villain. Just as remark: He was born 1927 and for his age he performed really good. After rewatching I say that the critique is a bit stretched out but I will not completely disagree. A mayor complaint was that he has gotten to old for he role. We have Rooger Moore in his final performance as James Bond (In movies as he will always remain James Bond -). However the humor and actors improve this movie a lot.
The menace is not that impressive but that can be just my opinion. A clue leads to Zorin Industries with its owner Max Zorin who is a respected man but under suspicion as his race horses win often against other seemingly better ones. The story starts when James Bond is send to Siberia to recover a microchip that can withstand an electromagnetic impulse (Immunity to EMP). It is a weaker one but with a very good cast. The fourteenth James Bond movie and last one staring Roger Moore.
