Leave your thoughts about A View to a Kill.
| VarietyVariety StaffWhile Bond pics have always traded heavily on the camp value of its characters, A View to a Kill almost attacks the humor, practically winking at the audience with every move. |
| El Pais (Spain)Octavi MartiIf [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] |
| Nitrate OnlineDan LybargerIn this 007 film, former real man James Bond not only eats quiche, he literally bakes it. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarHard as it is to justify Bond films on intellectual grounds, there's something invigorating -- and strangely reassuring -- about this sort of picture. It is comforting to feel that should a psychopath threaten the stability of the world, our hero will be ready to wipe the grin off his face and shove him into San Francisco Bay. |
| IndiewireMatt SingerBeyond Walken and Jones’ considerable contributions, A View to a Kill also contains a robust assortment of action sequences. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouLeo GoldsmithMoore's tryst with Grace Jones is, on the one hand, a well-intentioned attempt to tear down the Bond-girl color barrier, and, on the other, a rather disturbing image. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesWhile it doesn't reach its full potential, Roger Moore's final 007 outing is still a largely entertaining if admittedly flawed adventure. |
| Los Angeles AlternativeJay AntaniThe aging Roger Moore rehashes his somewhat foppish Bond in this sad '80s installment with Grace Jones as a vampish villainess. Awful, and an embarrassment to the Bond mystique. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioNo Bond outing is awful, but this one comes close. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinAs lavishly escapist as they are, the latest James Bond films have become strenuous to watch, now that the business of maintaining Bond's casual savoir-faire looks like such a monumental chore. |
