Packed full of sex pot debutantes, whizz bang gadgetry and cliffhanger action sequences, VIEW TO A KILL is an unforgettable roller coaster ride MY RATING 1-100: 87Read full review
First off, I love this Bond movie. I live in San Francisco and the story, the plot and the beautiful action scenes are incredible. The plot is a little over the top, Bond against Max Zorin and Grace Jones *** the action sccenes from the Eiffel Tower in Paris to the final climax scene on the Top of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Grace Jones and Tanya Roberts are awesome, too. A Beautiful/great film in my opinion, awesome action sequences and a very Killer Duran Duran Top #1 hit-single "A View To A Kill". 5 stars.
This was Sir Roger Moore's last Bond film. I think that, despite mixed critic reviews, it was overall quite good /with a lot of great stunts, older, mature acting performances and solid action sequences for that stage in time. Eighties goers may also recall how this was an early star role for Christopher Walken and emerging actor and model Grace Jones! And also, one may note her to be boyfriend /beau Dolph Lundgen in the background of one of the fight scenes (whom she met on the Set of A View to A Kill). The movie also introduced a then-much-younger Tanya Roberts (and her childish cuteness as the newest Bond-girl). Consistent with this and most of Moore’s other Bond performances, I admit that I definately prefer Moore to the other Bonds (yep even Connery) owing to his pleasantness and funny charm. His age was not a problem at all for me / as I have always thought that his movies got better with his age and that stellar veteran presence (which severely lacks in the Bonds of today). Whoever said James Bond was a younger man's job? Dead wrong I think. In terms of the specific PRODUCT / this VERSION on DVD (the one I bought is a 2012 Digitally Re-Mastered MGM release) - the DVD quality is overall pretty decent /significantly better than the 2000 Special Edition series /with today's "frame by frame" digital restoration. Not to mention the new ultra hi-fi sound makes this series well worth the watch. NOTE: MGM also came out with a later version of this and the other Bond films in 2015 which is more or less the same except for the DVD Artwork I.e. the White Backgrounds and smaller DVD Cover photos. Perhaps, however, the picture quality in the 2015 versions is better ….but I honestly thought the sound effects were no different between the two. Read full review

Such a fun way to spend a couple of hours with a movie. All of Roger Moore's Bond adventures were very good. This one was significant because of the amazing scenes on the Golden Gate Bridge.
