Joshua M My Second favorite Roger Moore bond film after the spy who loved me. In my opinion it's extremely underrated and looked down on compared to other more films . It just clicks for me and has everything encompassing a Bond film from start to finish an adventure. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Audience Member The on screen chemistry between Carole Bouquet and Sir Roger Moore was good. The cinemetography was good. The oceanic action scene of being drawn through the coral was done well. The cliff scene was suspenseful, but methodical. I thought the violence scenes took away from the romance and levity of the movie. The theme song Your Eyes Only was good. The nuclear submarine control system plot seems a bit dated, although relevant. Kristatos (Julian Glover) the Bond villian, was intense at times. Lynn-Holly Johnson was good. Overall, a decent Bond film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Brent A 50% rating ... Run-of-the-mill action spy film. Didn't live up to the standards previous Bond films established. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Joseph C sheena easton's title song is great but this James bond movie is soggy. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Lucas t One of the best Bond films. 8/10. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 For Your Eyes Only has always been a personal favourite of mine, starting with a giant middle finger to Kevin McClory and only getting better from there. Stripping back the more fantastical elements of the previous two outings in favour of a return to the more grounded tale of revenge, the film marks a significant style change for the 007 series taking the series back to the Cold War espionage thrillers, depriving James Bond of his gadgets and thrusting him into a battle of wits and deception. Even with a seriously slashed budget franchise veteran and first-time director John Glen doesn't compromise with the action, his style has a much harder edge to it cutting back on some of the humour but keeping the stakes high. Roger delivers another outstanding performance, consistent with what we saw in The Spy Who Loved Me, always bringing his signature eyebrow-raising sarcasm and witty charm to the role. Carole Bouquet's portrayal of Melina is also commendable, making her another strong addition to the Bond girl legacy, sharing an undeniable chemistry with Moore that adds to the film's appeal. Julian Glover is a fabulous villain as Kristatos while the late great Topol as Columbo gives us an extremely likeable supporting role to root for. John Barry was once again unavailable to score the film so in steps Bill Conti, delivering a superb disco-oriented 80s score and even managing to keep typical Barry-laden brass, it's such an easy and energetic listen befitting of the 007 moniker. More measured and elegant rather than flashy and excessive, it may be a bit long in the tooth and treading over familiar territory but the script is as sharp as ever, marking out For Your Eyes Only as one of the more underrated entries in the franchise. Yes, even with its ridiculous ending. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
