The view is great, 27 November 2002
8/10
Author: Marshall from Sacramento

Because my horrible DVD player kept freezing, causing me to have to watch this bit by bit, I kind of put off my review of this movie for a while. Now that I'm writing it, let me just say I greatly enjoyed this film. The settings are great, the action is awesome, the theme song (despite the horrible pre-movie credits) is one of the best, Christopher Walken plays one of the greatest villains ever, and Roger Moore is just fine. After being wowed by License to Kill recently, I thought Timothy Dalton would have been great in this show. But I was pleased by Moore's performance, and I think it's great that he showed such wonderful support for Cubby Broccoli. However, I do have to agree with everyone else about Tanya Roberts as Stacey Sutton. I believe she could have received a larger role since she was the Bond girl, but she was too American and was pretty helpless and annoying. I still recommend this film, for it's a lot better than people say it is. 3 and a half stars out of 5.
