Christopher Walken as a Bond villain? A genetically-engineered superman formerly in the employ of the KGB? Come on! Strike two here is Roger Moore, who was getting way too old for the role by that point. Strike three was the fact that the series was fresh out of plots and had completed the process of substituting gizmos and cartoon violence for any sense of genuine drama. Even the ever-quirky Grace Jones falls flat as Walken’s henchperson. Not quite as bad as Octopussy, but still right on the border of intolerable. See if desperate
