Summary: Surprisingly, Christopher Walken makes a weak villain
Review: One of the weaker just because Moore is getting older, and it doesn't help the plot lacks steam. But Walken's genetically engineered villain is a waste, even Walken can't save the character.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This Bond Movie is missing something
Review: As much as I think Moore made a good Bond this one fails to hit the mark. I get the impression this one has a lower budget than the rest of the ones made in the 1980's. The actress who played Stacy Sutton is a babe, however she cannot act to save her life. She is constantly squeeling and lacks any sort of character. Pam Bouvier in Licence to Kill was one of the best Bond girls in my opinion because she had more intellignce and good looks. I like Max Zorin played by Christopher Walken because he is so insane(a typical Bond adversery). To conclude I was disappointed because this was Moore's final movie and he should have been given a better script and a higher budget.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT BOND!!!!!!!!
Review: This Bond is excellent as well, this, and License to Kill are one of the best, but there are many more good ones. This is the last James Bond film to star Roger Moore. It's excellent, lots of people say it's bad, but I enjoyed it. This time, Bond goes after Max Zorin, a madman who has plans to flood Silicon Valley in San Francisco, killing millions. By blowing up a mine. But the Bond girl Mayday, is uglyyyyy! Otherwise, this Bond is great, and has an excellent fight scene on the Golden Gate Bridge. Definately worth checking out. The next Bond was, THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS with Timothy Dalton, another excellent Bond.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Worst 007 Film
Review: "A View to a Kill" (1985) reduces James Bond to 001. The film lacks a single memorable scene and squanders a good John Barry score. Roger Moore was all wrong as 007, but not even Sean Connery could have saved this fiasco.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: May Day, where have you been?
Review: I first encountered this film when I recieved the movie storyboook from this film. I was mesmerized by it, and being only 5 or 6, it really didn't have an impact on me until later when I saw the film on TBS.

I had wished that I had watched it earlier, because it is quite a good Bond movie, and it really ends the Moore era with a flourish.

The plot revolves around Max Zorin's insane, and yet diablolical plot to flood 'Silicon Valley' and Bond investigates the plan.

While Moore was looking old enough to be Tanya Roberts father, his adventerous additude was still there. That is what the best part of the film is about, it's not about him being old, its about him saving the world.

This is a good Bond film........

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: AVTAK puts the series back on track
Review: After 1977's TSWLM the Bond series fell into a hole for a number of years. 79's M was plain awful, 81's FYEO was bland and forgettable (great stunts, dull villains), and although 83's O was good it was largely outshone by Connery in NSNA. The Bond series needed something and AVTAK gave it the adrenalin shot required. This entry contains great action sequences, an enjoyable plot and most importantly, a group of villains (a psychotic Zorin, MayDay the Shemale, and a Nutty Nazi Doc.) that would probably rank as amongst the best of the series (definitely the best of the 80's - the only other contenders being from 89's LTK). The only negative is an ageing Moore who yet again sleepwalks in the lead role (this annoying habit worsened from Moonraker onward). Despite this, AVTAK is a great flick and paved the way for solid entries in which Dalton and Brosnan gave a touch of class to the lead role (despite the 20-year-old series formula remaining the same).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Great hit from United Artist.
Review: One of the best James Bond movies ever. Along with Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me comes A View To A kill. A View To A Kill is another sit at the edge of your seat action packed movie. With the fight on top of the Golden Gate bridge is awesome. And the part when Bond had to disarm a big bomb under the ground in a mine is a another awesome scene. Followed by other awesome scenes in A view to A kill

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great! and Awsome!
Review: This is the second best Bond movie after "Thunderball" in my opinion. I don't really care about the plot, it's actually pretty good! There is some really good action scenes! Especially on the Golden Gate Bridge. One of the best fights, after the ones in "From Russia With Love," "Diamonds Are Forever," and "The Living Daylights." A great movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best James Bond Movies I have ever seen
Review: Being a James Bond fan for years I am a little biased on them. Roger Moore being my least favorite but this movie was oustanding. A great villain, An exiting plot, A beautiful girl, An excellent theme song, Great special effects. I will aggree that Moore may have been a little too old for this movie but he did a great job of it. Most of the Moore movies are not great Moonraker, The Man With The Golden Gun and Live and Let Die to name a few, but he redeemed himself with this one

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Roger Moore was good in his last 007 role
Review: A VIEW TO A KILL was,to me,a good 007 film,despite the fact that it was a victim of bad reviews.Sure, the plot could have been better,but there are so many action scenes to keep your interest.Bond fans should give this film a second chance.It has more to offer than the two Timothy Dalton films that followed-even GOLDENEYE and TOMORROW NEVER DIES. A VIEW TO A KILL was the last 007 film that was enjoyable.
