Description

_____1985 ____________Starring: Roger Moore, Christopher Walken, Tanya Roberts, Grace Jones,

Director: John Glen

This is one of the better Roger Moore Bond entries. This is mainly because of strong action scenes and Christopher Walken’s villainous portrayal. You will still have to suffer through Moore’s irritating mugging for the camera and mediocre performance, but you will be rewarded with Tanya Roberts looking as good as any Bond girl, and Grace Jones as unusual as any Bond henchman.

The usual, early action sequence in A View To A Kill is a gem, with Bond pulling off a spectacular skiing/snowboarding escape, before moving on to the main mission which has him tangling with a psychopathic industrialist played by Walken. The plot is reminiscent of Goldfinger, which is a good thing, but can get silly at times (a sadly common trait of the Moore Bonds) which is a bad thing.

Can anyone deduce that Roger Moore was not my favorite Bond? Still, I am a big fan of the series and a Moore Bond is better than no Bond at all and anything with Christopher Walken is worth checking out.

I didn't really have a problem with Moore's Bond. Of couse I still preferred Connery's take, but I was fine with Moore's portrayal. My favorite part of View was that a good portion of it was filmed in SF. Being a Bay Area boy, it was nice to see the city featured so prominently in the movie. My fave Moore Bond film is probably The Spy Who Loved Me. Barbara Bach was smoking hot and who didn't love Jaws? One of Bond's best villains ever! Anyway, love this painting! Great job on the likeness of both actors!
