Synopsis: Roger Moore makes his the final appearance as the Secret Service Agent, James Bond in A VIEW TO A KILL. Her Majesty's Secret Service sends Bond to stop Madcap computer industrialist Max Zorin... Roger Moore makes his the final appearance as the Secret Service Agent, James Bond in A VIEW TO A KILL. Her Majesty's Secret Service sends Bond to stop Madcap computer industrialist Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) from triggering a massive earthquake in Silicon Valley and annihilating the global computer market. With the help of geoligist Stacey Sutton (Tanya Roberts), Bond must contend with May Day (Grace Jones) and Zorin's endless supply of henchmen as he jet sets from Paris to San Francisco leaving a trail of empty martini glasses and broken Q-gadgets behind him. In the 14th installment of the 007 series, director John Glen delivers an unforgettable and dazzling farewell vehicle for actor Roger Moore. Packed full of sex pot debutantes, whizz bang gadgetry, and cliffhanger action sequences, A VIEW TO A KILL is an unforgettable roller coaster ride. [More]

Fun but truly silly James Bond movie. Some good action - the firetruck, the horse race, etc. - but be ready for over the top villains.

Moore definitely goes out on a high note with this effort.

As certain films in the Bond series have set specific benchmarks for tone, A View to a Kill is James Bond in comic book perfection.

The worst James Bond film ever.

Moore should have bowed out after the superb "Octopussy", but this is still a pretty good time at the movies.

A workmanlike entry brings Moore's long and increasingly tired tenure to a close.

This one, directed by John Glen, just follows the numbers, plodding from one unimaginative set piece to the next.

No Bond outing is awful, but this one comes close.

Roger Moore's final Bond film is a solidly entertaining entry in the series.

A View to a Kill is at least better than Octopussy, but it's so absurd as to make for a less than perfect time.

The inauspicious implosion of Roger Moore's stint as James Bond, not with a bang but a whimper.

The net result is a story that has us yearning for those much older Bond films that never lost your attention.
