Most helpful review A View To A Kill

  • Roger Moore's ...

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Martin#43 from FLEETWOOD , 04 Apr 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Roger Moore's final outing as bond is seen by many to be one of the worst bond films but it does have many good points. Despite moore clearly being to old for the role by this stage he is still very entertaining and some of his scenes with Pat mcnee are amusing. Tanya Roberts is awful and Grace Jones is on a different planet to us all but the film is still very watchable. The best thing about this dvd release is the extras. You get all the trailers and a full 30 min documentary on the making of the film. Its even got the very badly dated music video "view to a kill".Quality.

    You would'nt call this a typical bond movie as such. Roger Moore apperently has said its his least favourite of his films and he dislikes the script/plot. I suppose yes the plot is a little silly drugging horses then trying to flood silicone valley. But the film is very enertaining. I just can not help but like this film!

    A few people complain that Moore is looking too old, and he was too old however I do not think he looked that old compared to how old Sean Connery looked in 'Diamonds Are Forever'.

    Not a typical Bond film but entertaining in its own way!!

  • The name's Burgundy, Ron Burgundy

    Rated - 1.0 star

    Company replicate microchip but making it stronger, 007 investigates company, head of company has evil plans, Bond out to stop him.

    Possibly the worst out of the Bond films with Roger Moore acting like Ron Burgundy from Anchorman but with less convincing chat-up lines & more make-up.

    Christopher Walken does evil very well but even he can’t save this and Grace Jones is so wooden you’d think she’d be made into a chair after filming.

    The stunts are pretty decent with some great skiing & snow-boarding action but again the Police driving is woeful with them not being able to drive in a straight line whilst a screaming bimbo with her hands over her eyes does a 90 degree turn AND jumps a bridge in a LaFrance Fire Engine!!

    Whilst on about the Bimbo, Tanya Roberts falls into the category of looking great but being useless & spends most of her screen time shouting “JAMES!!”

    Duran Duran’s theme isn’t too bad although dated & certainly not one of John Barry’s best scores.

    You can never really have an all-out bad Bond movie - the production values and stunts ensure that - but this probably comes close to being the worst of the series with an ageing Moore not particularly interested in his role and happily deferring to his stuntmen. The plot is the usual megalomania malarkey with computer kingpin Walken planning to bump Silicon Valley off the map forever. Walken is actually quite wan in the part, Roberts does little else but scream and Jones' formidable presence is largely thrown away. But despite the general lethargy behind the whole enterprise, some of the setpieces still impress.
