I find this movie very entertaining, with the exception of some scenes (San Francisco City Hall for example), I enjoy the first part of the movie more than the second one, but i like it overall. Love the combo Walken-Jones and Patrick Macnee, and I´m one of the many fans of the Duran Duran title song. 7/10

I like it, the only thing that takes you out of it is when it's obvious when it's the stuntman, and it's a lot of times in this one.

A View to a Kill (1985), directed by John Glen. 007 must disrupt a nefarious business plan to flood Silicon Valley. Bond #14 is Roger Moore's seventh and last. He said "I was only about four hundred years too old for the part" but he honestly doesn't look that bad (age 57). He does less of his own running and punching and the stunt doubles are more obvious than usual. As typical for this era the production values are excellent with a rich and glossy look. And as usual it's a leisurely "who cares?" plot, although it picks up with more action in the last half hour. Tanya Roberts is one of the weakest Bond Girls. On the other hand Christopher Walken is great fun as the erratic genius and criminal mastermind. He dies laughing, falling from his very cool mini-dirigible. Fierce and striking Grace Jones is one of the more notable henchwomen of the series. (Aside: I knew a DJ who had met lots of celebrity singers; he said Jones was one of the most charismatic people he'd ever met. David Bowie was another). John Barry score, with a few bits from On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) brought forward. Available on Blu-ray. ![](http://watershade.net/public/view-to-a-kill.jpg)

Quantum of solace is worse. I don't understand. In your opinion, Quantum of Solace is worse than Moonraker, A View to a Kill, or both? Unlike Dr. No (1962) through Die Another Day (2002), which I own as part of the James Bond Ultimate Edition box sets, I've seen each Daniel Craig film only once. From what I can recall of Quantum of Solace, it's not worthy of the hate heaped upon it. BTW, I just noticed that on this list of All 26 James Bond Movies Ranked by Tomatometer, Quantum of Solace is #16, Moonraker is #19, and A View to a Kill is #25. Well yes Einstein that's what I'm saying.
