Summary: Best
Review: I know what the big bond fans will say so just shut up. I'm 16 years old and I love the James Bond Series. I have seen every bond movie made. I love this movie because 1) It has a great musical score, especially the title song by Duran Duran. 2) Christopher Walken and Grace Jones are excellent villians. 3) The action scenes are fantastic. The only problem with the movie is Tanya Roberts. she is the most annoying person in one of the bond films ever.I would just like to comment on an earlier review given before. This is not one of the cheaper bonds. It had a budget of 30 million. That was bigger than Rambo 2 budget of 25 million and Lifeforces budget of 28 million. They all were released in the same year. AVTAK was released on Memorial Day weekend against Rambo 2. Octopussey cost only 27.5 million and the Living Daylights cost 30 million, the same as AVTAK.

Summary: A View To A Thrill !
Review: Just a great film.Outstanding villians (Christopher Walken And Grace Jones) as Max Zorin and May Day but it is unfortunate to say the opposite about Roger Moore. At aged 57 his perfomance as bond is subdued and is not up to his usual standards. Good plot with some nice touches such as Miss Moneypenny(Lois Maxwells last apperance as the character)being able to join M,Q and bond "in the field" at ascot ladies day.A superb ending to this film see's Bond and Zorin fight it out on top of the golden gate bridge. A great film backed up by a superb score by John Barry. A good ending to Roger Moores 12 year stint as 007.

Summary: Good, but not great
Review: A View To A kill was Roger Moores swansong as James Bond 007, and it isn't the disaster some people say it is. However it is let down badly by a weak script, and the script is one of the most important parts of any Bond film. But it does compensate with great villians (Christopher Walken, Grace Jones) some superb stunt sequences, and the usual trademark performance by Roger Moore (aged 57!) Not one of the more shining entries in the Bond series, though.

Summary: By far the worst Bond film ever made
Review: Awful in almost every respect. A low note for Roger Moore's final film of the series. I love these films, but this one is not watchable.

Summary: What happened to you 007?
Review: A View To A Kill has to be the lowpoint of the series. It's a shame that a good theme song was wasted on this trite film. How can you make a classic Bond film like Octopussy, and then make this? It's just a basic retread of Goldfinger. This ranks up there with Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, Goldeneye, and Tomorrow Never Dies as the worst of the series. Christopher Walken is way over the top. Tanya Roberts couldn't act her way out of a paper-bag. Bond films are supposed to be made like From Russia With Love, For Your Eyes Only, and the Living Daylights. Those are films with intelligent plots, realistic villians, and great action. Shame on Roger Moore for agreeing to be in this. Thank god the series got a second wind with The Living Daylights.

Summary: One Of the Best Entries
Review: This Moore as Bond outing was his last one and is one of his better ones infact. The action sequences are really good and the Girl is cute. Oh and how about that theme song by Duran Duran. Every time i hear it i love it. The only minor flaw is the villian played by Christopher Walken he was good don't get me wrong but. For some reason i just could not say that he is one of my favorite Bond Bad guys. There was just something in his performance that just was not evil enough. Normally i think that Chirstopher walken is a great actor. Now with Tomorrow Never Dies that Villian is excellent. As with Diamonds Are Forever. Great movie great theme song but kinda weak villian.

Summary: The best Bond film ever.
Review: This is the best Bond movie. You disagree? I'll prove it to you. Which films had the best villains? YOLT (Pleasance, the best of all), DAF (Charles Gray), MWTGG (Christopher Lee), and this film (Christopher Walken). The best subordinate villains were Oddjob, Jaws, Julius Harris and Geoffrey Holder in LALD, von Sydow in NSNA and Willoughby Gray as the elderly scientist in View To A Kill. Best Bond girls? Rigg as Mrs. Bond, Bambi, Thumper and Lana Wood in DAF, and Grace Jones in View To A Kill. Best title songs? Goldfinger, Live and Let Die and Duran Duran's View To A Kill. Background music? OHMSS, SWLM, and View To a Kill. Stunts and story? YOLT has the best climax and is the prototype of the great Bond film. Moonraker opens with the best ever stunt and has nearly as good a climax. OHMSS introduced the ski chase, such a good idea it has been reused many times since. A View To a Kill reworks many great ideas from earlier films (like the ski chase) to great effect, and is consistently fun throughout. So you see, A View To A Kill is the only Bond film in which everything works. It also stars the one and only James Bond, the great Roger Moore, and as a bonus costars Patrick MacNee.

Summary: A modern-day camp classic!
Review: Like 1979's "Moonraker," this Bond outing is so bad it's good. Although diehard series fans will hate it, those of us who see the whole series as kind of a joke anyway will revel in the wooden acting, the slapstick humor, the ludicrous plot, etc., because we're seeing it through the lens of a camp sensibility. I really don't know where to begin, but Grace Jones's character alone is absoluetly priceless, from a camp standpoint, she's even better than Richard Kiel (and that's saying a lot). Tanya Roberts takes the squealing, helpless, bimbo-in-distress "Bond girl" to exquisite new heights (or is that depths)? As Bond himself, Roger Moore is at his paunchy, middle-aged best. And just knowing that Christopher Walken, a legitimate actor with an impressive resume of GOOD films behind him (e.g. THE DEER HUNTER), could feel compelled to appear in this bomb makes his role that much more priceless, no? Enjoy it all, folks, and embrace it as a deliciously guilty pleasure. The fire-truck chase scene, the climactic blimp scene, the hapless, head-scratching angler will stay with you for years to come. And face it, guys, that scene where Jones rips Roberts's jumpsuit off takes puerile cinematic titillation to a whole 'nother level, doesn't it? Somehow, you just know that John Waters absolutely adores this flick, dontcha?

Summary: Great Bond movie!
Review: I loved this 007 adventure. Roger Moore is on target as James Bond. This movie is funny and fun to watch. If you are a true Bond fan I'd reccomend it. The only thing is that the action sequence gets a little cheasy after a while.

Summary: Excellent!!
Review: I'm a sucker for 80's movies and James Bond...so naturally, I love this movie. Sure Roger Moore is old, and the plot is mediocre, as well as the acting sometimes, but I really don't care. The stunts are cool, the chicks are hot (except Grace Jones..too androgynous for any heterosexual man's taste), and it's James Bond for God's sake! James Bond is just the best! I don't see why so many people dislike this movie, I really don't. And am I the only one who loves the title song played by Duran Duran? No one ever mentions it, and it is definitely one of the movie's strong points. Anyway, this is a cool movie. Buy it.
