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

Top Critic 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.

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

Top Critic 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.

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 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.

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.

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.
