Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

ivo-cobra8 What can I say about this film that was said already? I love this film to death! It is definitely the best Roger Moore's James Bond 007 film since The Spy Who Loved Me! It is my second favorite Roger Moore film I love it to death since I was a kid. For Your Eyes Only (1981) is better then the lackluster The Man With The Golden Gun, Octopussy and A View To A Kill in my honest opinion it is better then Moonraker. This is the first Bond of the 80's and it is honestly one of the best Bond films in my opinion this is just my opinion. This movie is simply action with real stunts more darker then the last one, more serious. Roger Moore did one of his best performance as James Bond 007. Really good actors and really good actresses. It is my childhood. A classic James Bond adventure there is. All right, maybe it was not that simple. Surprisingly this works very well, with the action sequences being more realistic (what with a car chase, ski chase and a small scale assault on the villain's residence instead), but brilliant too. For Roger Moore the film offers his best performance as James Bond. The climbing on (The Monastery of the Holy Trinity in Meteora) St Cyril's monastery in the northern mountains of Greece is a great realistic sequence. Bond (Roger Moore) climbs the cliff in the mountains to reach the hoist controlling the basket. Those were real stunts it was really dangerous for Moore and his stuntman doing those stunts. In 1993 we got Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone climbing the mountains even those stunts were dangerous. This stunts that Roger Moore performed were really dangerous. Bond in the beginning climbs on the helicopter another dangerous stunt that was performed from Roger Moore and his stuntman. James Bond on skies on the cross-country skiing and he is perused by motorcycle assassins great stunts performed from stuntman's. Great car chase A Citroën 2CV was used in which Bond and Melina are fleeing and are kicked by this car really bad-ass scene. Great fights on the ship, great fights with car on the beach in which Bond shoot's a guy's car. Great under water scenes in which Bond and Melina are under attack by a diver in a JIM suit. Great effects for the mini-subs under water. Bond and Melina are tied up with the line on Kristatos' yacht been as bait for sharks. Great actors like are: Roger Moore, Carole Bouquet, Julian Glover, Topol ,Lynn-Holly Johnson, Michael Gothard, Jill Bennett, John Wyman and Walter Gotell. Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet) is a perfect Bond heroine determined to avenge her parents at all costs. Melina Havelock is a combination of Tilly Masterson from 'Goldfinger' and Domino from 'Thunderball.' Melina comes upon a much bigger plot, involving 007 and a Russian-British race to regain the A.T.A.C. She was really great Bond girl I enjoy the girl so much and the actress she was awesome better then Britt Ekland. Carole Bouquet did a great performance and she did a great job playing Melina Havelock she was so realistic in screen just my opinion. This movie had the absolute most beautiful Bond girl .Bibi Dahl (Lynn-Holly Johnson) really touched my heart who would do anything for Bond! She is the American figure-skating prodigy who meets 007 in Cortina D'Ampezzo. Lynn-Holly Johnson did a great job been a victim of her uncle Kristatos (Julian Glover).Agent 007 is assigned to hunt for a lost British encryption device and prevent it from falling into enemy hands. Bond investigate the murder of Timothy Havelock, who was working to salvage the wreckage of a spy boat carrying a vital command system called A.T.A.C. Bond's investigation leads him to believe that the Russians are also trying to recover the system, and may be using Aris Kristatos (Julian Glover) to carry out their dirty work. Aiding Bond is the beautiful sharpshooter Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet) and an old acquaintance of Kristatos's named Milos Columbo (Topol).I really miss movies like this one today I really do, I miss them so much. They don't make movies like this one today they don't. The plot was about the hunt for a lost British encryption device called A.T.A.C. that was also used later in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995).I really did enjoy soundtrack For Your Eyes Only by Sheena Easton and the music theme by Bill Conti. The movie is really fast paced, I really wasn't bored with it, it is highly entertaining. You see also the cemetery in which we see Bond on his wife's grave Tracy Di Vicenzo from On Her Majesty's Secret Service we see Blofeld and Bond finally kill's him on the end of the opening scene. For Your Eyes Only is a 1981 British spy film and the twelfth in the James Bond series to be produced by Eon Productions, and the fifth to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. 10/10 This in my opinion really my favorite Roger Moore James Bond 007 films I love it to death I think is my second favorite film The Spy Who Loved Me is my number 1 favorite film but this one will be the second one. This was the first movie John Glen directed and really did a good job on this film. I highly recommend for every Bond Fan.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues l'd watched this picture in January 1998 on television now for first time on blu-ray which provide a fantastic view of this kind of picture that was shooting in amazing spots on Greece...Roger Moore was too old to play 007 in the 80' but still works...in this time he goes to Greece to find out where the ship wreck and get the communication device called ATAC which the Russians are interested,among great actors on the movie Topol play a decent Greek who helps bond on this mission...and of course Carole Bouquet who was always beauty mainly in underwater shooting...gorgeous Bondgirl!!!

haln8 Was recently catching up on some James Bond movies available on Amazon Prime before they got yanked off. One of the ones I caught that I hadn't seen in a while was For Your Eyes Only. I fell asleep during one of the ski scenes. While watching it I had a thought. Roger Moore played the role of James Bond the Longest--well I guess he's technically tied with Connery because Connery did the unofficial one in 1983, but still the guy did a lot of Bond movies. A couple of questions came to mind--how was Moore able to make so many and how did James Bond survive the 1970's and early to mid 1980's? From Connery's last awful "Diamonds Are Forever" to Moonraker finishing Moore's career in the mid '80's with A View To a Kill. For Your Eyes Only probably represents the best of Moore's 1980's films. Dang though he was old by this time. It's one thing to have an old Indiana Jones or Han Solo, but James Bond was never meant to be an old timer and even if Moore was in pretty good shape he was still old. They should have changed him out at that time with Timothy Dalton. Moore's Bond movies were two cheesy and again his age got in the way. The best of his films were probably The Spy Who Loved Me and Live and Let Die was okay. Also, too many of his movies had ski chase scenes on the snow and For Your Eyes Only probably represented the longest ski chase scene and it was pretty boring. Moore should have never been selected anyway based on age. He was in his mid 40's by the time he did his first Bond movie. All other actors who have played Bond were younger. Well, despite the Moore years, James Bond survived. Looks like someone may be taking over for Daniel Craig now.

chrislef21 For Your Eyes Only is actually my second-favourite Bond film, although I still maintain that 'The Spy Who Loved Me' is the best of the Moore films. Even though it is my second-favourite Bond movie there are still a few seriously terrible bits, notably the pre-title sequence and the final scenes, with a ridiculous Mrs Thatcher impersonation and a parrot, a rather disco-y soundtrack and a quite forgettable theme tune sung by Sheena Easton (who is the only singer to date to actually appear on screen during the title credits.....why though is still a mystery). Over-look those however, and the rest of the film is terrific. Bond is essentially back to basics, and uses his wits and skill throughout the film rather than relying on Q's gadgets. Following the murder of marine archaeologist Timothy Havelock, who was hired by MI6 to locate the ATAC machine from a sunken British spy ship, Bond is assigned to discover who killed him and to retrieve the ATAC before it falls into the hands of the Russians. There's a couple of stand-out chase scenes, following Bond's gadget laden Lotus being destroyed, he's left to take the wheel of a Citroen 2CV for the car chase, and the later ski chase is pretty fast-paced too. While we still get the occasional trademark Moore quips these are dramatically toned down and there is a much more serious and edgier performance, this is especially highlighted in a brilliant scene which sees the villain's henchman in his car hanging precariously on the edge of a cliff, and Bond vengefully and cold-bloodedly kick the car over the edge (this was followed by a quip, but it marked a brutal change in Moore's portrayal of Bond for this film). Stunning French actress Carole Bouquet plays Melina Havelock, a strong willed woman who is out for revenge following the death of her parents. Learning that her parents are connected in the mission Bond is assigned to, she teams up with Bond to avenge her parents death and help him locate the ATAC device. As for the villain, well the film does not establish a clear villain until some way into it's running time. Initially we are led to believe that Milos Columbo (played by Topol), the pistachio chomping former partner of Aristotle Kristatos is the man behind the death of the Havelocks however it turns out to be misinformation as Kristatos is in fact the man behind the killings and has been working with the KGB to obtain the ATAC system. Kristatos is portrayed brilliantly, and much more low-key than previous 'world-dominating' wannabe villains of previous films, by Julian Glover. With great locations including Corfu and Cortina D'Ampezzo in Italy, For Your Eyes Only is a satisfying and thrilling entry in the series.
