A View to a Kill Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረJanuary 28, 2025︻デ═一A View to a Kill isn't a good film...it's a FUN film. would an undercover agent use his real name while on assignment? no. would said undercover also not use any sort of disguise? of course a real undercover secret agent would change his name and appearance. but not James Bond, because it's freakin James Bond. Christopher Walker is outstanding as the bond villain who doesn't quite understand the concept of killing your mark when you have him right in front of you. in quintessential Bond villain fashion, Walken devises roundabout booby traps that act as an obstacle course rather than a fatal action. Grace Jones is a nice touch as Walken's muscle. it's all very 80s, very over-the-top ridiculous, and thoroughly enjoyable. pulp fun at its Hollywood James Bond best. i can watch this offering over and over. RIP Roger Moore, a gentleman and a true artist.
- Mister ArnMay 22, 2025Loved the scenes with Grace Jones
- mickerdooJuly 31, 2025Walken and Grace Jones are pretty iconic. Paris, blimps, horses, bombs, San Fran. Crazy big scope that you love from Bond.
- jussirasJuly 1, 2025Quite bland
- beadon1June 17, 2025Good action movie. Comedy at times, as all of these Bond films are. Funny one liners and more. Plus, a great cast, a good time.
- Callum18h ago⭐⭐ – A View to a Kill – Bond’s Swan Song That Forgot to Sing Roger Moore’s final outing as James Bond should have been a polished farewell, but A View to a Kill ends up feeling more like a weary shuffle to the finish line. The energy is low, the plot feels recycled, and Moore — usually the most effortlessly charming Bond — looks like he’s simply done with the whole thing. There’s grounded potential here, but none of it really lands. Christopher Walken is the undeniable bright spot, chewing through the scenery with that unmistakable Walken intensity. He brings life to a film that desperately needs it, but even he can’t salvage the slow pacing or limp action. And while the opening mountain sequence is impressive, it’s also the fourth time the franchise has kicked off in the snow — and by this point, it feels like déjà vu with a ski pole. The film is a perfect reminder of why Bond needs a refresh every so often. Actors age out, formulas get stale, and the whole machine starts grinding rather than gliding. Moore had some fantastic entries in the role — this just isn’t one of them. 🍸 Pairing: A flat martini — still technically a martini, but missing the spark, the chill, and the bite that make it Bond-worthy.
- GBWestSeptember 1, 2025Don't betray your best henchwoman. This is a very Roger Moore 007 flick. There is plenty of silliness for this film with some pretty good action and story. I thoroughly enjoyed this film for its campiness, action sequence (including and not limited to 007 hanging off of a firetruck ladder like a certain T-800 (Terminator 3)), and there is a lot to love about this film. In the end, my favorite character was Mayday, sure she's Max Shreck's...Max Zorin's (Christopher Walken) top henchwoman, loyal and fierce who believes that Zorin loves her, a fact that brings forth her ultimate betrayal. After Zorin betrays her, she is most responsible for thwarting his plans to sink Silicon Valley into the ocean. There is no need to worry as while Zorin is a psychopathic former genetically reengineered Russian agent, he does not suggest that the theme song needs more cowbell. Ultimately, while Mayday is the end of his schemes, Zorin is his own ultimate end as he'd rather fight 007 on top of the Golden Gate bridge than escape.
