A View to a Kill

For the last few 007 reviews, i have mentioned how OLD Roger Moore was. This review is no different. HOLY MOSES! This dude is like a human prune, and apparently is just as sexy as he was in 1973 when he did Live and Let Die. Even though Roger Moore is super fucking old looking, it does not compare to how fucking old Lois "Ms. Moneypenny" Maxwell looks. Watching these two interact is like watching Q's balls slapping together between his old wrinkly legs!

So anyway, James Bond is thrown into another globe trotting adventure that takes him around the world that he must save. This movie has to be, in my opinion, the worse 007 movie ever! There is only two things in this movie that actually stand out. Christopher Walken and Patrick Macnee. Walken is a total badass and Macnee is probably the greatest of Bond's sidekicks.

Everything else in the movie is pretty sucky. Grace Jones and Tanya Roberts are the shittiest pair of Bond Girls to ever be put in the same movie. Grace Jones is just too fucking weird to be hot and Tanya Roberts is absolutely ANNOYING! There is not a single stunt that stands out. The "Beach Boys" song at the beginning is atrocious.

I honestly do not want to go on about this movie, but the crappy blue-screen climax on the Golden Gate Bridge is the final nail in the boring coffin. James Bond films are great because they are escapism at their finest, but going to San Francisco is something that i can do on any given weekend.

The best thing about A View to a Kill, that it marks the 3rd time that the Bond producers decided to reevaluate the direction of the franchise. It happened after You Only Live Twice and Moonraker and i could not be happier to be saying goodbye to Roger Moore who peaked two movies prior and move on to a more grittier Fleming Bond.

So long Mr. Moore and hello Mr. Dalton!!
