LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

SimonJack Roger Moore was 53 years old when he made this James Bond movie, and he would do two more yet. But his age was showing here. Not so much in his face, but in his overall slower movements. Indeed, the script has much less physical stuff than one is used to in the 007 series. "For Your Eyes Only" is a slower film all around. It doesn't have the frenzy of a car or boat chase, or other fast actions segments. The one car chase scene with Bond in a Citroen is more funny than nail-biting. The opening has a slightly harrowing scenario with a helicopter, and there is a chase on skis. It seems that the writers have dumbed Bond down a bit as well. By that I mean, Moore doesn't show the usual savvy alertness and watchfulness. An example is when Bond climbs the monolith that St. Cyril's Monastery caps. As he reaches the top he doesn't look around to see where the guards may be. Instead he's looking down and gets caught by surprise by a guard. Bond doesn't have any new gadgets to help him out of tough spots. In all of the earlier scenes with the bad guys, Bond gets beat or chased and he never gets the upper hand. Definitely not the normal routine of James Bond. This film must have had different playwrights. The dialog was rather droll at times and it was missing the peppy and frequent witty lines that one has come to expect in the Bond films.The rest of the cast are okay, but again, it's a slow film. The song for this episode in the series is particularly good, and it did receive an Academy Award nomination. The scenery in the Eastern Mediterranean especially is beautiful.

BondGirl77 FYEO is by far my favorite Bond film. From the beautiful theme song, to the gorgeous scenery, the wonderful musical score, and the fabulous story line, this movie is absolute perfection. I can watch it over and over and never get tired of it. I just absolutely love this film ! The cast is phenomenal. Carole Bouquet is wonderful as Melina Havelock. Topol is marvelous as Milos, Julian Glover is wickedly good as Kristatos, and Cassandra Harris (Pierce Brosnan's late wife), is charming as Countess Lisl. All of the actors in the film are top notch, and the beautiful scenery of Italy and Greece, is just breathtaking. Roger is of course, fabulous as usual in his role as 007. Handsome, charming, and witty. He is and always will be, my favorite Bond. FYEO is just spectacular. It is the Bond film that I watch the most often. It is one of my favorite movies of all time.

tyvek-55370 First, the lead has to have some height, stature. The Greek goddess was as good as a women gets. This is why the franchise suffered trying to adapt to more modern low end times for new audiences. For the year it was really great and watch every 1-2 two years. Classy and excellent manners will always rule. No tattoo's needed. Always looking forward to proper direction in this franchise so it continues and really should continue. The modern day updates should be of the technical content not the human content that always made the series fly so high. The series is an learning experience for more common audience to strive higher in their lives. Not to bring the franchise down to that level. From the most interesting man in the world.

KineticSeoul This is such a 80's action movie, it just really has that vibe going for it. It doesn't have the over the top silliness of the previous Bond films with Roger Moore, except one security device in the Bond car that make it explode when threatened. The drawback however is that the story just isn't all that engaging, there isn't any sharp or stand out dialogue and the action which is executed well is easily forgettable. It's not a memorable Bond film but it gets the job done. The story is really repetitious and just really seemed to drag on. Sure the formula of Bond digging for clues and the bad guys constantly after Bond's life has been done many times and over. But it's just so darn noticeable here, it's like they just didn't have enough story so they focused on a lot of scene with the bad guys trying to kill James Bond. There is the longest ski chase scene in the Bond franchise so far in this as well. That and the underwater sequences were shot quite well, especially for a early 80's film. Overall this is a forgettable Bond film with forgettable characters, but has enough right elements to make is watchable.6.5/10
