For Your Eyes Only is next up. A score of 6 from me.
A far less extravagant outing than the previous few, but less engaging too. The pacing isn't great, as the second half drags on. The villains aren't particularly memorable - in fact, since my last watch I'd forgotten about two of them until I saw them again on screen. The Bond girls don't fare too well either - I feel Melina is more dispensable than Dr Goodhead or Anya from the past two films, and the bratty Bibi is a little at odds with the tone of the film (although I guess she may not be perceived as a Bond girl).
On the plus side, Moore is still doing a good job as Bond. He just about the looks the part (despite looking wrinkled in a few scenes), and is at ease with both the humourous and serious side of things. There's some stunning shots once again, and some of the stunts are spectacular (particularly in the two chase scenes in the first half of the movie). The musical shift to incorporate more '80s influences is well done, and the theme song is serviceable enough too.
