A View to a Kill Reviews
It is a film that is perfectly watchable, but at the same time is completely forgettable and unremarkable.
| Original Score: C | Aug 28, 2022
It features a killer Duran Duran theme song but strikes out in nearly every other regard.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 25, 2021
A View to a Kill is nowhere near as reviled as its reputation suggests. It might not be the proper send-off Roger Moore deserved, but the film has a great sense of fun, and its Villains are in a league of their own.

The primary villain is memorably vicious and well acted, the henchmen and their demises are bombastic and amusing, and the set pieces are extravagantly grandiose.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 8, 2020
It will always be my ultimate guilty pleasure Bond film
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 16, 2020
Where other Bond films at least have a kitsch quality, A View to a Kill is not only silly but it also commits the ultimate cardinal sin for any Bond movie - it's boring.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 29, 2019
A good Bond film, filled with plenty of action and set pieces, with a great opening theme to boot! A solid note to go out on for Moore, even if he isn't a highlight himself...
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 27, 2019
If [the Bond films] don't accept the convenience of retirement, which is not expected, they will stop being shows for adults with childlike spirits and become scandalous cases of corruption for minors. [Full review in Spanish]

Moore is worth every wrinkle on his face in "A View to a Kill," the seventh movie he has made in the Bond series and the most enjoyable since "Moonraker" back in the '70s.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 23, 2016
While it doesn't reach its full potential, Roger Moore's final 007 outing is still a largely entertaining if admittedly flawed adventure.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 31, 2015
The film also fails on other traditional Bond levels. For example, the gadgets. Zorin and his gang have an inflatable dirigible, but so what? The key to the best Bond gadgets has been that they were something you might want to own yourself.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 21, 2015
It's not double-oh-seven anymore, but double-oh-seventy, the best argument yet for the mandatory retirement age.
| Aug 21, 2015
An arthritic thriller that forgets where it put the excitement and infamously transforms Bond into a quiche cooking homebody.
| Aug 21, 2015
The plot doesn't really convince, perhaps because we've seen it or something similar so many times before.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 21, 2015
A View to a Kill plods along dutifully, observing the rules of the series with dull consistency.
| Aug 21, 2015
The strain is starting to show on 007.
| Aug 21, 2015
Hard as it is to justify Bond films on intellectual grounds, there's something invigorating -- and strangely reassuring -- about this sort of picture.
| Aug 21, 2015
Tired 007 effort has ridiculous plot, iffy behavior.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 5, 2014
This time around, 007 is a paunchy old man looking like he needs to retire. The film has little energy, thrills or fun, which is essential for a Bond film. The series has now reached an all time low.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 30, 2012
Contrary to historical opinion and some truly awful movies, Moore conjured roguish magic over his 12-year tenure. His Bond cast the spell that initially charmed me as a kid - one perhaps so intoxicating to him that it was simply hard to let go.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 13, 2012
