A newly-developed microchip designed by Zorin Industries for the British Government that can survive the electromagnetic radiation caused by a nuclear explosion has landed in the hands of the KGB. James Bond must find out how and why. His suspicions soon lead him to big industry leader Max Zorin.

Real men don't eat quiche...
... they cook and serve it to beautiful young women after shooting a bunch of thugs who work for a deranged former KGB agent turned computer chip magnate who dabbles in horse breeding and also has interests in California oil fields.
(In other words, an underrated Bond movie. Every time I revisit it, I like it more.)
TBH I wish the sexy martial arts practicing scene with Grace Jones & Christopher Walken could have been three hours longer.
James is back on his anti-russian shit; I really don't care enough to follow the plot; I have enough on my hands trying to deal with the soundtrack and credits sequence here. Moneypenny is an absolute doll and I am SO happy for her that she gets to be DONE with bond after this. unlike some of us.
Christopher Walken is a darling baby and probably also the bad guy since he seems to have bleached hair which is pretty damn sinister. this movie is 131 minutes long and do you wanna know something? Every single time I watch one of these movies I am STUNNED that ANOTHER one got made afterwards. How long are they going to keep this…
And with that, dear old Roger Moore steps down from his coveted role as 007... on a film whose poster clearly needed a better photoshop (you can see where the figures of Bond and May Day were plastered on the white background).
There's a lot to talk about A View to a Kill: one of the best Bond openings, one of the worst Bond climaxes, and a total waste of talent in both Grace Jones and Christopher Walken. Walken's the kind of actor to show how enthusiastic he is about a role, and all I can say is that the difference between his energy in Batman Returns as Max Schreck and this movie as Zorin is staggering. I really can't…
Fuera de Serie: Bond, James Bond - The International Spy, The Icon & The Once Serial Women Beater
After a series of films that have ranged from entertaining to some of the worst in the series so far, Roger Moore bids farewell to the character that, for better or worse, defined him until the day he died. And in many ways this film defines Moore's Bond perfectly. The film offers just enough humor and camp, a villain who ultimately feels inconsequential, and moments of great action that make you forget how little real thrills there are in these films.
Starting with the positives, the ending contains not one but two action moments that are among the best in the franchise, from…
Roger Moore's final appearance as 007 and I'll join the chorus with the critical establishment: At 57 years old, Moore was too old for the part. I don't know what it is about me, but I turn on A View to a Kill once every few years in hopes I'll enjoy it more anyway. I never do. This time, it's ever more apparent how awful the writing is, not just the dismal dialogue but the haggard story construction. The picture spends an unwieldy time with Bond spying at the horsetracks among the elite; you just want some damn adventure to begin. Later on, Bond is hanging onto a San Francisco firetruck that causes a lot of police car crashes; the…

James Bond fights a blimp in this movie. That's not even a joke or anything I just think it's crazy that he fight a fucking blimp.
In A View to a Kill, the KGB gains access to a super special type of microchip that is immune to nuclear radiation. The KGB wasn't supposed to have that stuff so James Bond is sent to figure out what's up and that means he is going to have to fight with Grace Jones, and tech tycoon…
If I was to provide a personal wishlist of actors who I'd love as a Bond villain, Christopher Walken would be pretty near the top. Throw in Grace Jones and Duran Duran on the soundtrack...
Surely this is nothing less than another Bond classic?
Well, unfortunately it's great potential, coming at the wrong time in the series. With a flagging Roger Moore in his last outing as our hero, rather than a great film at best, or even the flashy mid-80s cheese-fest at worst that it could have been, A View to a Kill is as flat as our leading man.
The plot is very by the books. It's like a roulette wheel of Bond tropes. Gather round all, spin…
Featuring Roger Moore's final turn as James Bond, "A View to a Kill" is an entertaining but imperfect action film. A mix of seriousness and silliness, John Glen's film follows the tried and true 007 formula of excitement, fun, and globetrotting spectacle; but the experience is slightly soured by weak performances and eye-roll inducing goofiness. The spy epic works, but it takes a little bit of patience to enjoy.
With a plot that involves microchips, steroids, and a threat to blow up Silicon Valley, "A View to a Kill" boasts the standard combination of then-timely plot points and larger-than-life criminal machinations. It all results in a solid story with a mix of compelling characters.
The film bears the same inviting…
Roger Moore's last Bond movie. This has a reputation for being one of the worst of the series, mainly because Moore was a little long in the tooth at this point. And it's true: he's 58 here, and looks older. In fact there's a scene early on where Bond, M, Q, and Moneypenny are all at the racetrack together dressed in their Sunday best, and it seems like the median age of employees at MI6 is about 87. That said, if you can get into the spirit of an elderly-looking Bond, I actually think this is one of the better Moores. You've got that great Duran Duran theme song, Walken and Grace Jones as villains, action set-pieces with lots of…
The one with this excruciating exchange of double entendres:
Bond: “Well, my dear, I take it you spend a lot of time in the saddle?”
Jenny Flex: “Yes, I love an early morning ride.”
Bond: “I’m an early riser myself.”
Utterly shameless, even by Bond’s usual standards.
Possibly of all of the rewatches thus far, this is the one that has surprised me the most—it’s a lot better than I remembered. Putting aside the obvious issue that Roger Moore was, by this point, long past the ideal age to play the role (57 at time of filming) yet still awkwardly manages to bed four women... or the fact that Christopher Walken’s psychotic super-villain, Max Zorin, callously guns down dozens of…
