Unfortunately, none of the women or even men that Bond gets help from prove to be of any relevance.

On the other hand, at least they attempted to change up the villain formula from past installments, but Walken's performance never takes off.Ī strong point for the series often includes strong supporting characters. The problem is, this happens half way through the film, so the first hour or so just seems like an entirely different film. The twist on his character was welcomed and it definitely made more sense as to why 007 would be assigned to this case. Walken plays a horse breeder, yes Bond goes after a horse breeder. Speaking of the opening credits, this film contains one of the better credits songs and the score for the entire film is great. Only that this time Bond gets away on a snowboard, how original. It doesn't help that the first action scene we see is before the opening credits and it's yet another ski chase. But the film is poorly paced with an incredibly slow first half. The action definitely feels bigger, and there are a few notable action scenes that I can see myself re-watching. It's also unfortunate that we have a wasted performance from Christopher Walken, who very well could have been an all time great villain. Bond films attempt to go bigger and bigger with every release, but A View to a Kill fails at bringing a more mainstream approach to the series. Films have come along way since he began in 1973, but the quality has varied in this franchise. It's unfortunate because this film ends Roger Moore's long 15 year run as everyone's favorite British Secret Service agent. The 80's produced several all-time great action films, but A View to a Kill is not one of them. At this troubling juncture, Jones' character name, Mayday, seems symptomatic of the franchise in general. Indeed, the final San Francisco Bay Bridge action set piece offers the most excitement of the entire flick. When a slow-moving blimp is the literal 'vehicle' that sets your supposedly explosive climax in motion, you know it's time to hang up your Walther PPK.
In this PG-rated spy adventure, an investigation of a horse-racing scam leads 007 (Moore) to a mad industrialist who plans to create a worldwide microchip monopoly by destroying California's Silicon Valley. Low energy as he goes through the all-too-familiar paces of redundancy, his now-lackluster 007 fails to throw off sparks even with a villainous two-fer played by Christopher Walken and Grace Jones.

In his 7th outing as Bond, Moore's superspy has become Perry Como with a License to Kill.
Thanks to A View to a Kill, Sean Connery didn't suffer the indignity of being the only Bond to go out on a low note. Trading adventure in for bad jokes, this rote outing marks an embarrassing entry for the series. Well past his sell-by date, Roger Moore shamelessly headlines an overly camp adventure where the only action comes courtesy of a killer theme song. If this film represents anything, it's that we're not nearly as bad as a society toward women as we once were. Or to suggest sexual activity on one's names. Like a woman would to be subservient to a man. Bond says, "Of course you are." Get it?! Her name is Jenny Flex, like the word "genuflect," which means to bow down in front of someone. There is a gal named Jenny Flex in the film. It's not that post-industrial society stopped being misogynistic or sexist, it's just that it could never be as blatant as all this is. Another problem is the misogyny and sexism itself. It's not that he is such a bad guy but it's just so terribly obvious that he is not the kind of man that women would be throwing themselves at like this film portrays. Roger Moore is just too old to be playing Bond at this point. Some entertainment just doesn't stand the test of time, including the 1985 James Bond film "A View to a Kill." Problems galore with this film.
