David D @David2026 May 8 The weakest of the Moore Bond films. It suffers from a meandering, at times disorganised plot populated by unclear characters. Still, great to see Roger Moore in action. See more Wayne K @RT88290232 Apr 26 Roger Moore’s tenure as 007 has always been polarising, but it’s more for the films themselves than for Moore’s take on the character. Sadly, both factors played a role in the critic and audience mauling of A View To A Kill. Pushing 60 at the time and looking like it, it’s an overlong and not especially interesting story with a weak villain attempting to carry out a lacklustre evil scheme, and not even the legend that is Christopher Walken can do much to bring him to life. With awkwardly staged fight scenes, a distinct lack of action and plot threads that go nowhere, it feels like a movie that was written in the span of a single afternoon and rushed into production to fulfil a release schedule. The title sequence, a staple of Bond films, looks cheap and is full of skiing imagery despite the fact that the only skiing scenes happen before it and have no relevance later on. It’s sad to see Moore go out like this, but at least it would give the franchise time to rethink and recalibrate.

All the bonds from this era r just a classic action thrill ride & this has the ultimate soundtrack from Duran Duran, I agree they didn't use the awesome C Walken well as he's a stunning actor & Grace is a terrible 1 so they don't work but the rest straight from the start is OK, also compared to some of the new films now that this website is rating at above 90% like The Guest & Widows & Pig lol all absolutely dreadful r a testament to how low is website is getting, the production value of this alone deserves over 50, its just an ok action film which I'd give 60% no way it deserves 30, farce, & really I just hope people don't use this website to judge films anymore & if they do to see about this film atleast they see my review 👍 soz just I've missed some of my fav recent films due to this website & it's diabolical reviews, TENET at under 80% comes to mind, Shocker that 1 See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 17 A View to a Kill (1985) is one of the weaker entries in the James Bond series and doesn’t hold up well compared to the stronger films in the franchise. While it has a few memorable elements, including Christopher Walken’s entertaining performance as the villain and Grace Jones’ striking presence, the overall film feels uneven and often dated. Roger Moore’s final outing as Bond shows its age, and at times he feels miscast for the more physically demanding action. The plot itself is fairly standard and lacks the excitement or cleverness of better Bond films, and the pacing can feel slow and repetitive. Some action scenes are decent, but nothing particularly stands out. Overall, it feels like a tired entry that doesn’t fully capture the energy or style the series is known for. I would rate it a 4/10.

A parte questo, sicuramente si evidenzia in negativo la sceneggiatura poco credibile con la dinamica dell'ipercattivo disposto a tutto che poi finisce per spegnersi malamente con errori che non gli dovrebbero competere; così come si distingue in positivo la scelta di un giovanissimo Christopher Walken come villain e volto noto.
