This Bond eats quiche. Full Review |

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

It is exhausted and exhausting, an old joke retold once too often. Full Review |

A View to a Kill is not the worst Bond film ever made, but it's closer to the bottom than to the top of the barrel. Full Review |

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

2/5 |
Roger Moore's last Bond and not before time. Full Review |
||
|
|
While Bond pics have always traded heavily on the camp value of its characters, A View to a Kill almost attacks the humor, practically winking at the audience with every move. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

The aging Roger Moore rehashes his somewhat foppish Bond in this sad '80s installment with Grace Jones as a vampish villainess. Awful, and an embarrassment to the Bond mystique.

Once 007 was licensed to kill; now he not only eats quiche, he cooks it himself. Full Review |

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

Moore's tryst with Grace Jones is, on the one hand, a well-intentioned attempt to tear down the Bond-girl color barrier, and, on the other, a rather disturbing image. Full Review |

Moore's final Bond picture is one too late. Walken is a fine villian, though.

As lavishly escapist as they are, the latest James Bond films have become strenuous to watch, now that the business of maintaining Bond's casual savoir-faire looks like such a monumental chore. Full Review |
