Summary: Bond, James Bond!
Review: This takes a close second place to "The Man With The Golden Gun".If you are a bond fan, and you haven't seen this one, I would buy it today, and watch it. This is one of the great Bond movies. Great espionage and intrigue. If you like bond movies for the story, and not all of the gadgets, this is the one for you. I think that this is Roger Moore's most realistic Bond, but not the most interesting.

Summary: Roger Moore's Best Performance as Bond.
Review: I was never a big fan of Roger Moore as Bond. I always found him too smug. But in this film I believe he gave his best performance as James Bond. The action sequences are good and the film is a more believable action flick. Although I think "The Spy Who Loved Me" was more entertaining because it had a better Bond heroine and splashier production, this film holds its own.

Summary: Roger Moore's 2nd best
Review: I am a big fan of the James Bond movies, but I usually don't judge them by who happens to be playing James Bond at the time. Sean Connery has his good and bad ones, same with Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan. I usually judge the movies by the villian. In FYEO, Julian Glover plays an outstanding villian, as he does in Indiana Jones:The Last Crusade. You may also notice him in a few parts of The Empire Strikes Back. Other than that, I think this is the next best Roger Moore, the first best being The Man With The Golden Gun. Lots of action in FYEO, including a great chase scene down a mountain on skiis and motorcycles. FYEO is a must for any James Bond fan.

Summary: Bond the way it should be
Review: Roger finally came in to is own with this great movie. The only Bond flim to top ots stunts is A view to a kill. This is first Bond movie I can remember watching. If it hadn't been as good I don't think I would have ever become a fan.

Summary: The Best Moore EVER!
Review: Roger Moore once said that he had reservations about this film because it was a deviation from the style he presented in his previous four films. Only if only Moore had used *this* style for the previous four films! "For Your Eyes Only" lacks the typical cartoon character villain who wants to rule the world in space or underwater or whatever. It features a race to acquire the ATAC computer, a device capable of overriding computer systems in NATO submarines. And it's up to Bond to retrieve it when a ship carrying it is destroyed neer Greece. Never for one moment does any aspect of the movie falter (there is one tiny scene but that's at the very end.) Moore is simply perfect as Bond. Julian Glover is ideal for Kristatos. And, to be simple, there's not one actor in this movie who didn't pull his or her weight. The action and drama scenes are well timed, and are convincingly done too. The best part is the music. Athlough a few elements are based on disco, the scenes actually BENEFITTED from it. It's wonderfully done and I wis hthe soundtrack existed. The music throughout the movie is perfect and suits each scene admirably. The only scene which fails to grab is at the very end where Bond (who places his walkie-talkie watch on a macaw's perch) goes off and allows the macaw to talk to... the Prime Minister of England Margaret Thatcher. However, this scene is incredibly small in length, and given the fact this movie lacked most of the Moore silliness I can accept it. DEFINITELY worth the money!

Summary: Like "From Russia With Love", it's a little calmer
Review: Little more calmer and down to earth (no pun intended after that disasterous Moonraker) with Bond going through Greece. Great landscapes, great story, so-so villain, but that's made up with the cool climax on the mountain house!

Summary: A Welcome Return to Ian Fleming
Review: Although MOONRAKER (1979) made a heap of money, the filmmakers of the James Bond film franchise wisely decided to bring our hero back to Earth this time. It is surprising, though, that with all the commentary lauding the return to Fleming, that the films directly after this one slowly but surely drift away from Fleming yet again. This could have been Roger Moore's fnest Bond if not for the fatal flaw of the music. I like some of the score - the music during the pre-credits sequence meshes nicely with the action. But that discordant piano and rachets for the beginning of the ski chase? Bland TV-type music at best. Thank God it is absent from the soundtrack album. Director John Glen's editing expertise stands him in good stead in setting the pace, but no Bond film should be over two hours long. It must be Moore's languid delivery which adds to the length. In some scenes Moore looks old and in others he looks great, and all the establishing shots expertly edited in with the stuntmen adds a great deal. There is a freshness to FOR YOUR EYES ONLY that is important in setting the tone for the Bond films of the 80s. And I'm glad to see the special edition does not shy away from references to Blofeld nor the non-Eon production NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.

Summary: Don't miss the DVD
Review: Whatever you've thought of this movie previously, I think I can safely say that after viewing this DVD you will really appreciate this film. The transfer is incredible; the supplements contain a wealth of fascinating information that can only enhance your estimation of this movie. To me this is clearly the best of the Roger Moore entries, featuring a harder edged Bond who doesn't rely on gadgets. The locations and stunts are some of the best in the whole series and John Glen's direction is top notch. Most highly recommended.

Summary: Moore's finest outing as 007, and a great DVD too!!
Review: Moore was always too campy, and the idea that he was an agent with a license to kill seemed always ridiculous to me watching Moore's antics. At least until For Your Eyes Only. This film marks the Bond series' return to reality after silly flights of fancy like Moonraker, with Bond caught in a blood feud between two Greek smuglers while trying to keep a top secret missle launching system out of enemy hands. Topol and Julian Glover are terrific as the two Greek smugglers, and Carole Bouquet is the most stunningly beautiful Bond girl of the 80's. Bill Conti's score is bad, but not distractingly bad like Serra's score from Goldeneye. The DVD is out of sight!! 2 audio commentaries, 4 trailers, a new 1/2 hour documentary on the making of the film, a pristine transfer, and a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix that, with the right equipment, blows the doors off! You must have this disc!!

Summary: Roger Moore finally comes into his own as Bond
Review: Finally, after several near misses and the terrible Moonraker, Roger Moore finally becomes Bond in this his fifth outing as Ian Fleming's super agent. This film also takes a departure from the "gadgets" that have become an icon of the series and gets back to the true heart of the character through espionage and intrigue. Shot throughout the Mediterranean & the Swiss Alps, this is one of the best Bond movies ever, right next to Goldfinger & Dr. No.
