Movie Reviews of For Your Eyes Only (Special Edition)
Movie Review: A timeless classic of the Bond-series
Summary: 5 Stars
After 007 aka. Roger Moore saved the world twice (in "The spy who loved me" and "Moonraker"), the legendary spy went back where he actually belongs - down to earth. And so did director John Glen. Instead of telling another absurd story, he set 007 in an realistic atmosphere, where he not only has to safe a precious code-machine from a sunken ship, but also has to keep back the beautiful and mysterious Elektra from killing the murders of her parents before she gets killed.So much to the story - and she's good! - the rest of this great film is nothing but pure action, mixed with a little taste of humor and a slice of romance (of course). This Bond-movie also has some of the most memorable casts in the whole history of the series: From French actress Carole Bouquet to charming Topol and fierce villains Julian Glover and late Michael Gothard, everything fits perfect. And coming back to the action part - it's insane! Starting with the opening scene where Supervillain Blofeld returns and moving fast from ski chases to shark attacs to mountain climbing - YOU NAME IT, YOU GET IT!
Really, this movie hasn't lost it's fascination and ist perfect for everyone who seeks good alternatives to the boring TV-stuff.
Definitly one of the best Bonds ever - and one of the best Action-Movies!
Movie Review: Best Bond Film Ever ! For Me!
Summary: 5 Stars
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY is my favorite all time of all the James Bond Films. (Spy Who Loved Me is my second favorite.) It has everything I love in a Bond film;1 - My favorite Bond - Roger Moore
2 - My favorite theme song: The title track For Yours Eyes Only by Sheena Easton.
3 - My favorite chase sequences: Helicopter peril, countryside mountains, snow chasing....
4 - The best of all the stories - I actually believed this relationship that bond inspires.
In effect, this film and based on the stories of the original Ian Flemming novels, is the truest in its content and reliability for true "Secret Service" action. Roger Moore will always be the bond for me - playing closest to the novels in the sense the one eleiment that Roger brings to the character - is humor. The character is charming and has a great sense of humor if you read the books.
Roger Moore gives his best performance along with Topal, this movies has energy and a lot of speed, drama and fun. The action, the exotic locals and the special effects along with the technology of the time are fantastic. It is actually one of the longer running ones as well. But you really can't tell the passage of time. This is a definite must in the James Bond Series and a must for Roger Moore fans. (8-25-02)
Movie Review: Moore's Best, top 3 in series
Summary: 5 Stars
This was Roger Moore's best effort in the series (even better than The Spy Who Loved Me). I rank it in the top 3 of the entire Bond series(along with From Russia With Love and Goldfinger). Moore plays the role not only with his usual humor but in this particular movie he seems to have a dark side to him in a few scenes (not seen since Connery). The story is very believable, the characters are very believable. After Moonraker the Producers went back to more of a film that was not reliant on special effects, It was a very good move, I think that with Moore's acting and the less reliance on the gadgets make this particular film very memorable. Only nitpick I have with it are the prime minister and his side-kick who take the place of M. After this film there was a 6 year wait for another good Bond Film (Living Daylights). Octopussy was decent but should have been Moore's last effort and A View to a Kill was just god awful (Not Moore's fault though). This film should be considered the definer of Moore's legacy, not either of the last two which is what so-called critics have a great tendency to do. A definite must have and own for any Bond fan and any fan of action/spy moviesMovie Review: Without a doubt-the best Moore Bond
Summary: 5 Stars
After the mess that was Moonraker, the 007 series had nowhere to go but up, but who knew it would get this high? Although Roger Moore's Bond era is best known for witty remarks and lots of over-the-top gadgetry, this film proved that Moore could deliver an old-style espionage thriller, and in fact, one of the best Bonds of all time. A British submarine code machine is somewhere at the bottom of the Albanian coast, and it's a race between 007 and Soviet-backed agents to find it. The execution is near-perfect, hints of Bond's tougher days (such as the trip to Tracy's tombstone and Bond tossing his hat in Monepenny's office) let the viewer know that the REAL 007 is back, while traditional Moore elements like the Lotus and the drunk Italian man are blended perfectly. Everybody, from Carole Bouquet to Julian Glover to the late Cassandra Harris (future Bond Pierce Brosnan's wife) to the terrific Topol pulls their own weight, and then some. Although the rest of the 80s films sometimes make a Bond fan cringe, this one is a jewel. It was definately worth it to suffer through Moonraker; this film was the payoff.Movie Review: FOR BOND'S SAKE, READ THIS REVIEW!
Summary: 5 Stars
British spy ship equipped with ATAC - an automated device that looks like a cash register yet controls Britain's entire nuclear ballistic submarine fleet - sinks! Plot revolves around a seemingly neverending race to locate and obtain ATAC, and of course THE MAN (Moore) is NATO's only hope to prevent the USSR from getting it first. No more Jaws, no more silly gimmicks - just the best of Moore's record-long stint as James Bond. John Glen's direction, Bill (The Right Stuff) Conti's jammin' musical score and an edge-of-you-seat car chase, Moore's trademark best-of-all-Bond ski chase that'll knock your socks off, and showstopping performances by Moore and (especially) Bouqet make this the best of ALL Bonds. Bouqet, the films "Bond Girl," is clever, sexy and more than a match against the bad guys with her crossbow. Beautifully filmed in several Mediterranean locations, this film takes you from London to the open seas and beneath, the Winter Olympics and cliffs that only 007 would dare to climb. EVEN CONNERY'S 007 FILMS DON'T GET THIS GOOD. BUY IT AND ENJOY. THIS BOND FILM DELIVERS IT ALL - AND THEN SOME!!
