This is a humorous James Bond adventure, the last one to star Roger Moore as Agent 007. In this story, Bond returns from the USSR with a computer chip, which is immune to a nuclear electromagnetic pulse and was created by Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) of Zorin Industries. Bond discovers that Zorin is planning to set off an earthquake in San Andreas that will wipe out all of Silicon Valley.
There are some intense action scenes followed by a fast-paced and exciting plot by Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson. John Glen gave solid direction to this film.
Moore's continuing unique suaveness and charm as 007 kept this movie entertaining and, this being Moore's 7th and final appearance as 007, it appeared he was just having a blast for his farewell. I thought Moore added more humor and physical comedy in his acting, especially during the chase scene through a wedding party (Bond hands the wedding cake to the groom he had just accidentally smashed and says, "Congratulations!"). Max Zorin makes a ruthless and crafty villain, making you love to root against him. May Day (Grace Jones) proved to be a seductive but formidable opponent to Bond and Tanya Roberts makes a charming Bond girl.
Loaded with thrills and drama, this is a fine film that closes Moore's Bond saga.
Grade A
