Review – For Your Eyes Only

This Bond has kinda grown on me over the years. I remember not having much affection for it the first time around. But now that I watch it again, I like it better. Most of the comedy and gadgetry that damaged the previous couple of Roger Moore outings is gone here, leaving a much more traditional spy movie. I especially liked the Greek settings. The ski stuff was good as well, though my affection for biathlon might have left me a bit biased. There’s a villain reminiscent of Robert Shaw in From Russia with Love. And like an all-too-brief passage from Goldfinger, there’s a beautiful woman set on revenge. In many ways this is like the previous four Bonds were never made. Indeed, even Blofeld makes a brief appearance at the beginning. Of course after this one it was right back to the crap again, but at least they gave it a try. Mildly amusing
