I have been wanting this movie because of Grace Jones for so long and could never find it by itself until recently. It is always tucked in with a boxed set of James Bond movies for a hefty price. Excellent movie, and Grace Jones is superb!

Let's start with the villain and his scheme... The villain, Max Zorin (Christopher Walken), is a true and exact copy of Auric Goldfinger... He owns a stud farm, and wins horse races by cheating... He is the European outsider who plans to wipe out a massive American resource, thus increasing the value of his own stockpiled wealth...His lust for power are greater than his loyalty to a lover...
Disco diva Grace Jones took the role of May Day, Zorin's natural born killer... May Day's leap off the top of the Eiffel Tower is a fine moment in best Bond tradition...This statuesque Jamaican woman--with sharp-cut hair to enhance her profile--is cast as a horse-taming, Kickboxing American who, according to Q, 'must take a lot of vitamins.' Nevertheless, at the film's climax, she retained a few shreds of humanity...
The film opens on an icy Siberian shore, where Bond recovers a microchip from the body of 003, driving back a party of Russian militiamen in his flight back to a British submarine disguised as an ice floe and controlled by blonde compatriot Kimberley Jones (Mary Stavin). The location chosen is both arresting and well-photographed enough to distinguish itself...
Bond is alerted to Zorin's intentions while investigating how the Russians have managed to duplicate a secret microchip resistant to damage caused by the magnetic pulse of a nuclear explosion... The technology has been leaked to the KGB following Zorin's purchase of the research company that developed the chip...
Tanya Roberts--who had joined the cast of television detective series Charlie's Ange1s in 1980--is cast for the role of Stacey Sutton, the beautiful blond geologist and heiress who results a vital assistance to 007 in unraveling the details of Zorin's scheme to detonate a bomb in one of his mines and create a cataclysmic earthquake...
"A View to a Kill" represents the farewell of Lois Maxwell who appeared as Miss Moneypenny for over 20 years of loyal secretarial service, and a unique claim to have featured in every Bond film... The motion picture also concludes Roger Moore's activities for over a decade in Bond adventures...In all his Bond's movies, he was a likable hero who saves the world seven times with charm, intelligence, and great dialog... However action sequences lost their deadly flavor and took on a madcap flavor... In battles with characters such as J. W. Pepper, Nick Nack, Jaws, and May Day, it was hard to keep too straight a face--and Bond didn't...

There is a certain amount of nostalgia to this Bond film in that it is Moore's last outing as 007 and he knew it going into it, but sadly, it's a bad film. The action is boring, the acting is hammy, the women, stunts and effects are all pedestrian at best, and the dialogue is just awful.
I admit I was never a "fan" of Moore as Bond as his view of him was very different than Connery's, the ultimate Bond and originator of the famous role. Moore often played Bond in a baffonish cartoon superhero-like manner. He always had too much tongue-in-cheek cutesy punchline humor and he was rather a sissy about doing his own stunt work. I accepted him as Bond and enjoyed him as much as I could. He was terrific in "The Spy Who Loved Me." That was his definitive Bond film as it had it all with good action sequences, acting, script, effects and stunt work going for it.
The other Moore Bonds I liked were "The Man with the Golden Gun", "Moonraker", and "Octopussy" even though that was a bit over-the-top in some areas. I hated "Live and Let Die", but I thought "For Your Eyes Only" was just okay. I was sad to see this be Moore's last Bond film as it it didn't do him justice. "Octopussy" would have been a better end for him than this Saturday afternoon matinee silliness.

'A View to a Kill' may be the most underrated film in the James Bond series, simply because so many people think it is the worst of all. This is hardly true. Among Roger Moore entries, sure, it's no 'The Spy Who Loved Me' or 'For Your Eyes Only'...but it's a helluva lot better than 'The Man with the Golden Gun', 'Moonraker' or 'Octopussy'. The pace is sometimes unnecessarily too slow, Moore does look worn out for the role, but the villains (Christopher Walken and Grace Jones) are truly memorable, and the climactic thrill scenes in San Francisco and the San Fernando Valley are exciting and enjoyable. As an overall movie in the James Bond series, it's in the middle of the pack. Certainly not one of the best, but hardly the worst. It will make for enjoyable viewing for any Bond fan. Roger Moore was wise, however, to make this his last outing.

Despite the final spectacular sequence in Golden Gate bridge, the whole script lacks consistence; Tanya Roberts is one of my favorite Bond girls on screen (despite her performance is far to be effective)and the sumptuous Parisian locations are a visual delight but this is not enough. On the other hand Moore seems to be tired and wishful the saga comes to an end as effectively happened. Grace Jones exhibited her prodigious musculature all the way and Christopher Walken looks uncomfortable (the villain with the blond hair? Give me a break!) with the role.
After having watched it you feel the necessity Moore should be replaced for the sake's 007.
