Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

After the lavish, effects-heavy splash of Moonraker, the twelfth Bond film and the seventh with Roger Moore concentrates more on core car-chase-and-crumpet values, evoking an almost retro feel that harks back to the first pressings of the Bond vintage in the 1960s. Starting to look a little wrinkly around the edges by this point, Roger Moore toughens his usually smarmy act up here with a gratuitous bit of killing, casually kicking a baddie and his car over a precipice, reviving memories of the ruthless streak with which Sean Connery made his name. Good old-fashioned Cold War politics lie at the heart of the plot, concerning a weapons system hijacked in the Mediterranean Bond must rescue. He's assisted by the exquisite Carole Bouquet, the only actress in history who can claim to have been both a 'Bond girl' and the star of a Luis Buñuel movie (That Obscure Object of Desire). Sadly, this is the first film to lack Bernard Lee's spymaster M, the actor having died beforehand, although British comedienne Janet Brown is on hand for an amusing Margaret Thatcher impersonation. --Leslie Felperin

On the DVD: The first audio commentary here is another one of those edited selections of interviews with sundry cast and crew members, tied together by an over-earnest host. Producer Michael G Wilson and others provide a somewhat more illuminating second commentary track. Once again the best extra feature is the "making of" documentary, which gives an almost scene-by-scene breakdown of the movie. The animated storyboard sequences will appeal to filmmaking aficionados. Avoid, if at all possible, the Sheena Easton video of arguably the most forgettable Bond song of all time (both song and score were perpetrated by series newcomer Bill Conti, not the estimable John Barry). --Mark Walker



Synopsis

Superspy James Bond investigates the death of a British agent who was attempting to retrieve a top secret device from a sunken surveillance vessel.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Bond Film!, 1 April 2002
This review is from: For Your Eyes Only [VHS] [1981] (VHS Tape)
Great car chases and villians made this bond film one of the best.The plot is great and there is a whole range of settings, from the ionian sea, to rock climbing in the greek mountains. Moore, as usual makes this bond film

4.0 out of 5 stars A Feast 'For Your Eyes Only', 16 Dec 2003
By Glenn Mckee (Co. Armagh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: For Your Eyes Only [DVD] [1981] (DVD)
The best Roger Moore Bond DVD/Movie in my opinion. What they done here was cut down on the gadgets, over use of humour and up the harder edge and intesity of Moore's portrayal of Bond which he does more like Timothy Dalton.

It's obviously just me but I don't go for Connery and really old ones probably cos they were out of my era. I'm 28 and anything pre-1980's is filled with gammy effects, 1950s car rides with the screen in the background. Frankly too boring for me. Connery was good but the storylines seem now like boring old Brit cinema. I do understand though they would've been something in their day that really did entertain millions.

FYEO's story is thrilling, the action tense and plenty of it. Filmed stylishly with great locations, girls, villans. Not to mention the best of the 80's Bonds 5.1 Audio. Check out the surrounds at the start when Bond gets out of the helicopter in the howling wind, then when he is flown into the building with a big low frequecy thump through your sub. The Citroen 2CV scene is great also.

The snow action scenes are great as are the under water sequences and the villan in the Merc in Bond's sights.

The only reason I don't give this 5 stars is because the end builds up only not to reach a satisfactory climax. Especially after the tense mountain climb scene. I think the director should have looked again at the bland ending and re-done the last 15 minutes or so. I doubt though if there will ever be a director's cut.

Anyhow this is still probably my favourite Bond. A must for an action packed collection.

I hope readers you find my review helpful. Thanks for reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic bond adventure, and Moore's finest outing as 007, 21 April 2001
This review is from: For Your Eyes Only [DVD] [1981] (DVD)
This film has to be one of my personal favourites. Roger Moore is on top form in this, his fifth outing as 007. The plot is more realistic than the previous offerings, and the humour is superb. the acting is great and the settings and storyline are one of the best yet. An excellent addition to the series and one which I would wholeheartedly recommend.

Roger Moore is Bond.
