In this outing, the renowned British double agent must locate a weapons system known as ATAC, which controls Great Britain's submarines, after it is sunk on a ship in the Ionian Sea. While he must contend with a formidable foe in the villain known as Kristatos (Julian Glover), he does have the lovely and talented Melina (Carole Bouquet), the daughter of a scientist killed by Kristatos, on his side. For fans craving their old favorites, Blofeld, Moneypenny and Q all put in appearances. The stunts come fast and furious, most notably a breathtaking race down a ski slope at the film's opening. Academy Award Nominations: Best Original Song ("For Your Eyes Only"). [More]

First-time director John Glen knows what's needed to create suspense...put the series' trademark wit, women, and song alongside the high-stakes adventure of a more brutal 007. [Blu-ray]

...suffers from a disastrously plodding midsection that ultimately casts a pall over the remainder of the proceedings...

Roger Moore has crumpled his comic-strip good looks into something approaching world-weariness, and the newfound maturity in his expression is reflected in director John Glen's style, which goes for the measured and elegant over the flashy and excessive.

If ever a Bond film could be described as understated, this is the one.

Moore is merely the best-oiled cog in this perpetual motion machine.

The success of this picture (perhaps Moore's best in the Bond series) can be attributed to the marvelous direction of Glen.

One of the most thoroughly enjoyable of the 12 Bond pix [to date] despite fact that many of the usual ingredients in the successful 007 formula are missing.

Look, Ma, no plot and poor dialogue, and Moore really is old enough to be the uncle of those girls.

The Thatcher parody at the end is sublime. The rest, passable fun.
