Is 'For Your Eyes Only' the most boring James Bond film?

    No. It's probably my favourite 80s Bond film actually.

    A more grounded performance from Roger and some lovely locations (I've actually booked a holiday to Corfu because of the film next May).

    Roger "leading the troops" to St. Cyrils is one of his best Bond scenes imo.

    The thing which does frustrate me slightly about the climb up to St Cyrils is that the film can't decide on the scales of things. One minute he's a mile up, the next he can see Columbo waving at him telling him to wait because a guard's coming, it takes him about five minutes to climb up the thing, the basket even less... it's not very coherent. Even when they arrive together and Bond goes off on his own to start the climb; they're still about a mile away from the thing. Do the other just have a picnic while Bond walks there?

    You're right...it probably would have been better if Columbo and Melina got up there another way. I agree that the scale is all off.

    I've always enjoyed FYEO, there are many great set pieces, but it lacks any real standout dramatic scenes, if that makes sense! But it's a very easy watch!
