Yikes! I thought you would at least give this two stars! It seems that everyone and their grandmother loves to bash A View To A Kill so much, but I still love it. I even have one of the original 1985 A View To A Kill posters hanging in my room! I know it's not a perfect Bond film, but I don't think it's horrible.
The title song is awesome, and is my personal favourite. The main soundtrack by John Barry is pretty good as well. Max Zorin and May Day are superb and memorable villains. As usual, there are some cool action scenes. The Golden Gate Bridge fight in particular, is a very iconic moment in the James Bond series. And although Roger Moore is a bit old in this film, I still think he looks pretty good for his age.
A View To A Kill marked the end of an era. Some of the fans, and particularly, film critics, bash Roger Moore's portrayal of James Bond. It kind of reminds me of the Nintendo Wii in a way. Like the Wii, Roger Moore was critizied by fans and the media for being too fun/different and that he's not hardcore and macho enough. But yet, Moore's portrayal proved to be very successful, even with competition from other series like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and others.
That's why Roger Moore is one of my favourite Bond actors, because he wasn't the stereotypical macho man hero that we see so much in movies and gaming nowadays. He just had a charming and campy nature that I found appealing, and I don't think there will be another James Bond quite like him.
