Advantages: Fun cast, good stunts
Disadvantages: Bit silly in places, quite long

A View To A Kill, first released in 1985, was the seventh and final film to feature Roger Moore as James Bond and the fourteenth entry in the franchise. The film is not widely regarded to be one of the strongest entries in the series, often cropping up near the bottom of Bond fan lists, but it is, in my opinion, an enjoyable piece of hokum that has more to enjoy than some would give it credit for. A View To A Kill's plot is essentially an update ...
...(Christopher Walken) and stumbles upon a scheme that proposes to flood oil wells along the San Andreas fault in California, set off explosives and destroy Silicon Valley. Such a scheme would of course make Zorin's business considerably more lucrative and unique.

Advantages: Plenty of action scenes
Disadvantages: Roger Moore being too old

This is a good James Bond film and unlike Roger Moore's previous outings as James Bond this is more serous and has less sillyness to it thankfully. It starts off with a great ski hase as Bond tries to retrieve a micro chip from another OO. The next big sequence has the villian parachuting from the Eiffel Tower and Bond giving chase through the streets, where Bond "breaks every traffic law". Later in the film we see Bond trapped inside a burning building ...
...villian attempts to destroy Silicon Valley. With plenty of fight scenes thrown in between what I've menitioned. Christopher Walken gives an excellent performance as the vilian. The only problem I have with this film is that Rogers' old and wrinky. But still gives a excellent performance as OO7 ... Read review
