For Your Eyes Only (1981)

Written by drystyx on April 4, 2023

This is an epic Bond film. 007 is sent to beat Russia to find an important device that sank in the ocean. It's important to the security of the British people. There is non stop action, beautiful women, beautiful scenery, exotic locales, wit, gadgets, everything that makes Bond movies special and entertaining. Over the top? Well, all Bond movies are over the top, which is why the ones that pretend not to be over the top look sillier than the ones that don't make the pretense. In Carole Boquet as Melina, we have the most beautiful of all the Bond females, with perhaps the exception of Bach in The Spy Who Loved Me. Melina also helps to make this as great a movie as it is. I rate it as the second best 007 film ever made, just behind "The Spy Who Loved Me". And that's great company.
