The only Moore 007 in my top 10, the most throwback of his era.

It's pretty good, though the villain is somewhat lacking. Pacing is solid, lots of great action set-pieces and Moore is on top form. Certainly the best Bond film since The Man With the Golden Gun came out some 7 years earlier. My main gripe is the soundtrack. I just didn't care for it in the slightest. In fact, it actually annoyed me.

I do remember "For Your Eyes Only" being a favorite of the local easy listening aka adult contemporary radio station in town back in the early 1980s. I have memories of sitting in the dentist chair while this song would come on over the speakers in the room. Then there would inevitably be a Carole King song. Great memories.  It's still a good theme song, probably one of the best, but it's funny how your mind makes connections with things. I don't think John Barry assisted with the theme which was unusual at the time. |

I'm actually a big fond of 70s and 80s music and loved or liked the other Bond soundtracks from that era, but this one grated on my nerves for some reason. It just didn't click with me at all.

It’s very entertaining. Love the car chase. And the ending with Margaret Thatcher is hilarious.
