Worst Bond movie ever
14 August 2008
This was always going to be an awful movie, but at least a younger actor like Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan might have brought some believability to it. As it is, Roger Moore was ridiculously old at 57 to be playing Bond. At least in "Never Say Never Again" Sean Connery, at 52, was playing an ageing Bond on his final mission. Here Bond is still supposed to be in his late thirties. The previous reviewer is right about Moore not looking his age - even with his thickened and dyed hair and cosmetic surgery, he looks at least 60. Patrick Macnee was also far too old - and paunchy - as Bond's sidekick and the fight scenes are just embarrassing. Christopher Walken and Grace Jones were no threat at all and Tanya Roberts must be the worst Bond girl of all, especially with her horrid cigarette voice. Moore should have retired after "Moonaker", since he was already over fifty then. Finally in an interview last year he acknowledged, "I was only about four hundred years too old for the part." As if all this were not enough, the film has the least glamorous locations for any Bond movie. Setting much of it in San Francisco at the height of the AIDS epidemic was a colossal mistake.
