Reviews for A View to a Kill
Top CriticRoger Moore's last Bond and not before time.
10/13/08
Top CriticOnce 007 was licensed to kill; now he not only eats quiche, he cooks it himself.
01/26/06
Top CriticAs certain films in the Bond series have set specific benchmarks for tone, A View to a Kill is James Bond in comic book perfection.
11/11/02
Top CriticThis Bond eats quiche.
02/21/09
This one, directed by John Glen, just follows the numbers, plodding from one unimaginative set piece to the next.
10/13/08
It is exhausted and exhausting, an old joke retold once too often.
10/13/08
Top CriticA View to a Kill is not the worst Bond film ever made, but it's closer to the bottom than to the top of the barrel.
10/13/08
Top CriticWhile Bond pics have always traded heavily on the camp value of its characters, A View to a Kill almost attacks the humor, practically winking at the audience with every move.

Bond is old but still cool
02/10/08
A View to a Kill is at least better than Octopussy, but it's so absurd as to make for a less than perfect time.

The aging Roger Moore rehashes his somewhat foppish Bond in this sad '80s installment with Grace Jones as a vampish villainess. Awful, and an embarrassment to the Bond mystique.
03/25/06
Roger Moore's final Bond film is a solidly entertaining entry in the series.

07/14/05
Moore's tryst with Grace Jones is, on the one hand, a well-intentioned attempt to tear down the Bond-girl color barrier, and, on the other, a rather disturbing image.

Moore's final Bond picture is one too late. Walken is a fine villian, though.
