A view to a kill12/8/2022 Low energy as he goes through the all-too-familiar paces of redundancy, his now-lackluster 007 fails to throw off sparks even with a villainous two-fer played by Christopher Walken and Grace Jones. A VIEW TO A KILL LICENSEIn his 7th outing as Bond, Moore's superspy has become Perry Como with a License to Kill. Thanks to A View to a Kill, Sean Connery didn't suffer the indignity of being the only Bond to go out on a low note. Trading adventure in for bad jokes, this rote outing marks an embarrassing entry for the series. Well past his sell-by date, Roger Moore shamelessly headlines an overly camp adventure where the only action comes courtesy of a killer theme song. If this film represents anything, it's that we're not nearly as bad as a society toward women as we once were. Or to suggest sexual activity on one's names. Like a woman would to be subservient to a man. Bond says, "Of course you are." Get it?! Her name is Jenny Flex, like the word "genuflect," which means to bow down in front of someone. There is a gal named Jenny Flex in the film. It's not that post-industrial society stopped being misogynistic or sexist, it's just that it could never be as blatant as all this is. Another problem is the misogyny and sexism itself. It's not that he is such a bad guy but it's just so terribly obvious that he is not the kind of man that women would be throwing themselves at like this film portrays. Roger Moore is just too old to be playing Bond at this point. Some entertainment just doesn't stand the test of time, including the 1985 James Bond film "A View to a Kill." Problems galore with this film.
