Amazon.co.uk Review

Roger Moore's last outing as James Bond is evidence enough that it was time to pass the torch to another actor. Beset by crummy action (an out-of-control fire engine?) and featuring a fading Moore still trying to prop up his mannered idea of style, the Film is largely interesting for Christopher Walken's quirky performance as a sort-of supervillain who wants to take out California's Silicon Valley. Grace Jones has a spookily interesting presence as a lethal associate of Walken's (in the best Bond tradition, she has sex with 007 before trying to kill him later) and Patrick Macnee (Steed!) has a warm if brief bit. Even directed by John Glen, who brought some crackle to the Moore years in the Bond franchise, A View to a Kill is a very slight effort. --Tom Keogh

A View to a Kill, Roger Moore's last outing as James Bond, is evidence enough that it was time to pass the torch to another actor. Beset by crummy action (an out-of-control fire engine?) and featuring a fading Moore still trying to prop up his mannered idea of style, A View to a Kill is largely interesting for Christopher Walken's quirky performance as a sort-of super-villain who wants to take out California's Silicon Valley. Grace Jones has a spookily interesting presence as a lethal associate of Walken's (and who, in the best Bond tradition, has sex with 007 before trying to kill him later), and Patrick Macnee (Steed!) has a warm if brief bit. Even directed by John Glen, who brought some crackle to the Moore years in the Bond franchise, this is a very slight effort. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

On the DVD: For Roger Moore's final Bond outing the production crew faced the usual quota of difficulties and disasters, the "making-of" documentary reveals: from base jumpers off the Eiffel tower whose antics threatened to jeopardise fragile relations with the Parisian authorities, to Ridley Scott thoughtlessly burning down the 007 at Pinewood right before production was due to start. Patrick MacNee, who has a supporting role in the movie, hands over narrative duties on this one to Rosemary Ford. The commentary is one of those less-than-satisfying montages of comments from various members of cast and crew. Also included is Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill" video (sounding hopelessly dated now), the usual trailers and a brief deleted scene of comic relief inside a Parisian police station. The second documentary concerns the music of Bond--always a crucial ingredient--although it manages the neat diplomatic trick of interviewing both Monty Norman and John Barry without giving the least hint of any controversy about the famous James Bond theme. --Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars WRONGLY CRITICISED., 28 Nov 2006
By 
Joanne Bailey - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
many people beleive this is the worst james bond film and roger moores worst.
i actually think its roger moores second best behind live and let die.
but i think roger moore being 57 at the time should of packed up before and it would have been good to see timothy dalton in this one.
but it really has some SUPERB scenes like the car chase when 007 is driving a fireengine(i beleive this is the best car chase in any bond film), the part when james bond and stacey are in the elavator when the building is on fire, and the fight between 007 and zoran at the end.
GREAT FILM

4.0 out of 5 stars Last but not least, 15 Jan 2004
This review is from: View to a Kill [DVD] [1985] (DVD)
At the end of his twelve year reign, Moore closes the book and leaves the series with a bang. Although not my favourite Moore film, the plot has its strong points and there are superb performances from Christopher Walken as mad Max Zorin and the Avengers' Patrick Macnee as Sir Godfrey Tibbett. The action scenes vary from sheer thrilling to downright ridiculous such as the out of control Fire Engine in San Fransisco and the Renault taxi chase through Paris. The film however has one of the most exciting and credible climaxes ever in a Bond film whilst 007 and Zorin battle it out atop the Golden Gate Bridge.
The DVD has the usual booklet, special features and an interview with Roger Moore about ending his spectacular performance and proving that Nobody Does it Better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Playing it for fun, 16 April 2003

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: View to a Kill [DVD] [1985] (DVD)
Growing up in Scotland this WAS my favorite James Bond movie. Roger Moore (in his finale as 007) tones down the outright absurdity of its immediate predecessor (Octopussy) but the larger than life characters, impossible escapes and grand set-pieces are still in evidence here. The stand-outs in this caper (as with most 007 adventures) are the villains, Christopher Walken is over-the-top and obviously having a great time as Max Zorin as is Grace Jones as May Day. The worst actor award here without question goes to Tanya Roberts. the obligatory Bond girl, who (although incredibly beautiful ) just does not convince as a geologist with a personal grudge against the wonderfully psychotic Zorin. Action fans will be delighted with the action scenes here that range from the a heart pounding opening sequence, a pursuit through Paris, a police chase across San Fransisco to a final duel in which both an airship and the golden gate bridge play a part. Judging by the consistently great quality and fabulous features (audio commentaries and documentaries) on the previous two batches of DVDs this promises to be THE deifinitive record of this production - Zowie!
