Roger Moore's last outing as James Bond is evidence enough that it was time to pass the torch to another actor. Beset by crummy action (an out-of-control fire engine?) and featuring a fading Moore still trying to prop up his mannered idea of style, the film is largely interesting for Christopher Walken's quirky performance as a sort-of supervillain who wants to take out California's Silicon Valley. Grace Jones has a spookily interesting presence as a lethal associate of Walken's (and who, in the best Bond tradition, has sex with 007 before trying to kill him later), and Patrick Macnee (Steed!) has a warm if brief bit. Even directed by John Glen, who brought some crackle to the Moore years in the Bond franchise, this is a very slight effort. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Underrated
Roger Moore's last Bond film, "A View to a Kill", is considered by many to be one of the worst films in the series. In my opinion it's underrated. Yes, Roger Moore was getting a bit too old for the part but he still does a good job. My main complaint is Tanya Roberts's character, Stacey Sutton. She's not a very good Bond girl, but it is somewhat redeemed by Grace Jones's May Day character, one of the more colorful (no pun intended) Bond girls. Christopher Walken is a good villain and Bond gets help ... Read More
Rating:  - AVTAK needs to be re-evaluated
Recently I upgraded from VHS to these new 2-Disc ultimate edition DVDs and i couldn't be more pleased. The films look and sound great, and the special features are intriguing.
I've always considered A View to a Kill as one of the worst, alongside The Man With the Golden Gun and Diamonds Are Forever.
Upon re-watching AVTAK i was amazed to discover that i really, REALLY liked it.
Here are some of the reasons why:

I think some of the reviewrs were to hard on this film. This 1985 adventued thrilling marked the end of Roger More's career as james Bond. The next two films Here Majesry Secret serive and License to Kill would star Dlayton he would eventually be replace by Piere Broson in 1995 production of Golden eye Pierce Bronsonm who would be bond for the next four films until the release of Casino royal in mid 2005. In aview to A kill More Returns for his last oting. This time against the vile and wealth Max Zorin ... Read More
Rating: - A gem from the 80`s
This is by far my favorite Bond movie. A great reminder of the `outrageous 80`s` as someone said before. The soundtrack is perfect, Christopher Walken and Grace Jones are just amazing. Tanya Roberts and Roger Moore are great too. I`ve watched this in movie theaters countless times, I got it on VHS, Laserdisc and now finally on DVD. I just love the 80`s and this one is definitely a keeper. Sure, there are flaws, but it is simply deliciously entertaining. To me it is one of those rare films that you can watch ... Read More
Rating: - [3.5] Christopher Walken is the star here
Seen as one of the weakest Bond films ever made, A View To A Kill is not as bad as one might think. Roger Moore is over the hill in this one, and the Bond girls are about as annoying as ever. The action is toned down compared to some Bond films, but the lead villain and his interesting henchwoman make up for the loses, as well as an exciting climactic action scene that is must see.
Christopher Walken steals the show in this one. He plays the psychopathic villain named "Zorin", who is out to destroy ... Read More
