What to Know

Critics Consensus

Absurd even by Bond standards, A View to a Kill is weighted down by campy jokes and a noticeable lack of energy.

A View to a Kill | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Jan Herman New York Daily News Moore is worth every wrinkle on his face in "A View to a Kill," the seventh movie he has made in the Bond series and the most enjoyable since "Moonraker" back in the '70s. Rated: 3/4 May 23, 2016 Full Review A View to a Kill | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune The film also fails on other traditional Bond levels. For example, the gadgets. Zorin and his gang have an inflatable dirigible, but so what? The key to the best Bond gadgets has been that they were something you might want to own yourself. Rated: 2/4 Aug 21, 2015 Full Review A View to a Kill | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Paul Attanasio Washington Post It's not double-oh-seven anymore, but double-oh-seventy, the best argument yet for the mandatory retirement age. Aug 21, 2015 Full Review A View to a Kill | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn It is a film that is perfectly watchable, but at the same time is completely forgettable and unremarkable. Rated: C Aug 28, 2022 Full Review A View to a Kill | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Matt Brunson Film Frenzy It features a killer Duran Duran theme song but strikes out in nearly every other regard. Rated: 2/4 Sep 25, 2021 Full Review A View to a Kill | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Jake Tropila Film Inquiry A View to a Kill is nowhere near as reviled as its reputation suggests. It might not be the proper send-off Roger Moore deserved, but the film has a great sense of fun, and its Villains are in a league of their own. Jul 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Lucas C My God this is the worst Bond movie ever. 3/10. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Fantastically over the top and thoroughly enjoyable 1980's Bond.Walken and Moore along with Roberta and Jones were all outstanding! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review alan g One of the worst Bond films. Actors just walking through their parts. Roger Moore's face looks like it will crack and fall off. Christopher Walken looks completely disinterested. Is it a parody of a Bond film? Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Christina B Bond at its best and at its worst... the 80s gadgets that look they belong in Argos, Grace Jones, the terrible stunt doubles. I love to hate it. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Tom F The best of the Moore-era Bonds, hasn't aged any worse than most of them. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Elvis D Después de que Sean Connery le dijera "adiós" al personaje que lo llevo a la fama, Roger Moore también se despide de su rol como James Bond con esta película. Roger Moore se ha mantenido fiel al personaje de James Bond hasta el final y ofrece una despedida satisfactoria del personaje. La película tiene ese tono de suavidad con algo de humor que se ha visto en las películas anteriores. La película empieza con la intriga y el misterio como siempre y la acción que se ve al principio es solo una introducción a las emocionantes escenas que llegan después. Christopher Walken ofrece un villano peculiar que puede no ser tan recordado como el hombre con la pistola de oro, pero tiene una peculiaridad que lo hace interesante. Una de las mejores cosas que esta película tiene es sin duda la canción de los créditos iniciales interpretada por Duran Duran. A View To A Kill es una película entretenida y disfrutable con la que Roger Moore le da una buena despedida al personaje a pesar de su edad. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 9/10. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
