The fourteenth James Bond movie and last one staring Roger Moore. It is a weaker one but with a very good cast. The story starts when James Bond is send to Siberia to recover a microchip that can withstand an electromagnetic impulse (ImmunityThe fourteenth James Bond movie and last one staring Roger Moore. It is a weaker one but with a very good cast. The story starts when James Bond is send to Siberia to recover a microchip that can withstand an electromagnetic impulse (Immunity to EMP). A clue leads to Zorin Industries with its owner Max Zorin who is a respected man but under suspicion as his race horses win often against other seemingly better ones. So starts the story and I am divided. It is enjoyable but also weak. The menace is not that impressive but that can be just my opinion. However the humor and actors improve this movie a lot. The action and climax is really good. We have Rooger Moore in his final performance as James Bond (In movies as he will always remain James Bond;-). A mayor complaint was that he has gotten to old for he role. After rewatching I say that the critique is a bit stretched out but I will not completely disagree. Just as remark: He was born 1927 and for his age he performed really good. With Christopher Walken as Max Zorin we get an interesting villain. I like both the character and actor but thing they could have done more with both. Grace Jones as May Day is the first female lieutenant and has a good presence on the screen and is remarkable. I must also mention Patrick Macnee who is famous for The Avengers TV series (Not Marvel). Shorter role but fully delivers. Again Q is a fan favorite and we got good gadgets. Soundtrack wise we get a better performance than the last movies. A view to kill is in the lower tops for me. The sets and optics look good and it seems they took a lot of care. Overall this is the end of the age of Roger Moore as James Bond. It is a solid last performance. There is the age old question of Sean Connery or Roger Moore which is hard to answer. I like both actors and favor Roger Moore but think that I do Sean Connery injustice with this. Back to the verdict: I say I is worthwhile and I give a bonus for the actors and their performance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will admit that this is a guilty pleasure for me. I really do like AVTAK and I think it works as much as it fails in some parts. Moore, despite his age, gives a good performance but is just too old for the part. Zorin and May Day are one of the best villains in the whole series for sure. The theme song is a banger, and the action scenes are great, like the firetruck chase and finale on the Golden Gate Bridge. The first half feels kind of cheap and boring, but the film really picks up during the second half.… Expand
