- LivewireAdmin3. februar 2026When A View to a Kill rolled around, the Bond franchise was running on fumes, and Roger Moore—still charming, still game—felt unmistakably out of step with the era. The production itself leans heavily into the lighter, quirkier tendencies of late-period Moore, but here the tone slides so far into self-parody that the film starts to lose its footing. Even the action scenes, historically the series’ anchor, are peppered with baffling comedic beats—none more infamous than the Beach Boys gag during the ski chase, a moment that instantly undercuts any tension the sequence might’ve had. What’s fascinating is that the film had the ingredients to be sharper. The cold-war-tech intrigue is there on paper, and John Barry delivers one of his last lush Bond scores. And the Golden Gate Bridge finale, in all its windy, steel-cable vertigo, is a reminder of what this era of Bond could still pull off when the stakes finally clicked into place. But the road to that high point is slow, uneven, and often meandering. Christopher Walken, playing the genetically engineered industrialist Max Zorin, brings his signature oddball cadence, but somehow still ends up feeling strangely forgettable. It’s a villain that should’ve been wild in the best way, yet it never quite rises above the film’s overall flatness. In the end, this one lands as a mismatched, sluggish farewell for Moore. I know he had a close friendship with producer Albert Broccoli and I'm positive Broccoli kept Moore on for as long as possible due to his troubled history in finding a Bond that's pleasant to work with. But at 57 years old, he just wasn't able to pull off the action convincingly. Not to mention the age gap continued to widen between Moore and his female co-stars (Tanya Roberts was 34 when they filmed this). By the end, Moore felt less like a secret agent and more like a genial host guiding the audience through increasingly outlandish adventures. A stylish presence, no doubt — but one who stayed in the tux a few films too long. So long Roger Moore, your run was....interesting.
- Zokkiie25. januar 2026It has some fun moments, but it’s a messy Bond outing. Christopher Walken makes a decent villain, though he’s definitely over the top, and the Bond girls are fine but forgettable. The story feels weak, the villain’s plan is ridiculous, and the pacing drags in places. A few cool action set pieces and Duran Duran’s theme add some charm, but it’s mostly style over substance. Moore’s charisma keeps it watchable, but don’t expect a classic
- ርልዪረ28. januar 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 Arn22. mai 2025Loved the scenes with Grace Jones
- mickerdoo31. juli 2025Walken and Grace Jones are pretty iconic. Paris, blimps, horses, bombs, San Fran. Crazy big scope that you love from Bond.
- jussiras1. juli 2025Quite bland
- beadon117. juni 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.
- Callum14. november 2025⭐⭐ – 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.
- blomtho20. januar 2026Great movie and great action in Roger Moore’s last Bond. Action from start to finish. 🥂💪
- GBWest1. september 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.
- Q_Prof15. januar 2026Pretty good with some close calls for Bond in this silicon villan caper. Tibet acting as Bond's chauffeur taking all the ribbing from Bond was funny along with the henchmen guards being packaged after investigating a possible break-in. The air ship scene was pretty intense and the blond was a good screamer, lol. Plot weaved alot keeping you guessing till close to the end.
