Movie Reviews of For Your Eyes Only (Special Edition)
Movie Review: "Greek women always avenge their loved ones."
Summary: 5 Stars
For Your Eyes Only is one of the most suspenseful and romantic movie in the James Bond series. Roger Moore shines with his best acting skills in his time as 007. For Your Eyes Only brings 007 back to Earth from Moonraker and downplays the gadgets in this film. The new villian is Aristotle Kristatos. He is sophistically played by Julian Glover. He has stolen the ATAC system and with it, has a serious advantage in destroying any submarine! The new Bond girl is Melina Havelock. She is avenging the death of her parents at the hand of a hitman, Gonzalez hired by Kristatos. The music is fantastic in this film!!! Sheena Easton sings a melody that you just can't get out of your head! The only downpoint in this film is the missing appearance of "M" and the ridiculous dialogue between Blofeld and 007. But, with those points aside, For Your Eyes Only is a fine and exciting movie in the best series in the world.Movie Review: Moore's finest outing as 007, and a great DVD too!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Moore was always too campy, and the idea that he was an agent with a license to kill seemed always ridiculous to me watching Moore's antics. At least until For Your Eyes Only. This film marks the Bond series' return to reality after silly flights of fancy like Moonraker, with Bond caught in a blood feud between two Greek smuglers while trying to keep a top secret missle launching system out of enemy hands.
Topol and Julian Glover are terrific as the two Greek smugglers, and Carole Bouquet is the most stunningly beautiful Bond girl of the 80's. Bill Conti's score is bad, but not distractingly bad like Serra's score from Goldeneye.
The DVD is out of sight!! 2 audio commentaries, 4 trailers, a new 1/2 hour documentary on the making of the film, a pristine transfer, and a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix that, with the right equipment, blows the doors off! You must have this disc!!
Movie Review: The Best 80's Bond!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my pick for Roger Moore's best Bond film. His best performance of Bond is found in this movie, and he seems to have a more human side to this role as he has a fond relationship with the Bond girl of the film, Milena (Carole Bouquet), who suffers from the murdering of her parents. The film also has one of the better Bond plots, where it is a race to recover the ATAC(Automated Targeting Attack Communicator) after a British ship is destroyed. Julian Glover also has one of the better villian performances. The teaser for the film is perhaps my favorite of all the Bonds, where he finally gets revenge against an old arch-nemesis...John Glen, who directed all the 80's Bonds, has a great start here, as he is my favorite Bond director. Too bad he doesn't direct the Bond films anymore.
Movie Review: My personal favorite of the Bond series!
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent film,the locales are exotic as is the leading lady (Carole Bouqet) Melina Havelock a vengeful vixen out to avenge her parents deaths at the hands of Kristatos (Julian Glover) a powerful man seeking the Atac system a device that gives the user unlimited control over Polaris nuclear submarines which every nation is eager to get their hands on most of all the Russians. Moore gives his best performance in the role playing Bond more subdued than usual, there are alot of memorable characters in the film Columbo(TOPAL)steals every scene he's in as Kristatos' arch rival who aids Bond to recover the device before the Russians get it. Oh and how can you forget Bibbi the floozy ice skater, come on thats every mans fantasy right there next to a gymnast,only Bond can be so lucky!Movie Review: My second favorite 007 of Moore's
Summary: 5 Stars
For Your Eyes Only is my second favorite Bond film of Roger Moore's.(right behind The Spy Who Loved Me)It has a beautiful Bond girl named Melina,who is out to avenge her family.She is played by Carole Bouqet.The villain Kristatos(I was actually suprised to find out he was the villain!),played by Julian Glover,is a good one.The rest of the cast is very good,too.There was a lot of action and not as many gadgets.I loved the ski chase scenes(actually more than the ones in The Spy Who Loved Me,and a LOT more than the ones in A View to a Kill),and the locations were beautiful.The musical score by Bill Conti is excellent,and the title song,sung by Sheena Easton,is my personal favorite.The DVD is excellent,with tons of extras,and a very sharp picture and good sound.
