View was his worst.
I used to love AVTAK when I was younger but nowadays its on-the-whole pretty poor.
Rather limp direction and at times terribly edited.
When I re-watched 5 of 7 of Moore's films recently (which included TSWLM, MR, FYEO, OP and AVTAK) View was my least favourite.
Even this PTS seems quite "samey" in comparison to what came before and Moore just wasn't very convincing by this point.
TLD and especially LTK are amongst the Best of Bond in my opinion, he really excelled at the end of his tenure.
I'd agree AVTAK is the weakest, but as I said, it's all relative. Still much prefer it to the Brosnan films.
Cliffhanger?? Still an impressive film in terms of scale. And the brilliant opening sequence. That's probably his most remembered film though.
I argue that the Bond "house style" by that point was starting to look a little tired.
Lithgow would ,and still could,make a great Bond villain.
Glen, like Moore, was very proud of his association with Bond. He didn't use excuses to bail out like |Guy 'I'm out of ideas' Hamilton or Sam 'I'm out of ideas' Mendes (oo-er, pattern emerging).
So, you are quite right @Getafix, he slotted happily into the house style.
The takings though began to suffer as more adventurous movies got a hold. Bond wasn't really competing with Die Hard or The Terminator, and it was only good will towards the franchise, and the unerring support of the UK and the rest of Europe that kept things ticking over.
The series needed a revamp. A new director, a more modern look. The six year hiatus wasn't necessary, but it may have been a blessing in disguise.
As for Glen, I liked OP and I liked TLD. I thought he did good jobs on both of these.
Happy 30th birthday, The Living Daylights. :)
One of the best movies ever. I love every minute of it.
John Barry score too.

Not... funny... anymore. When are these hoaxes ever funny?
It's a worry that some idiots found this funny in the first place.
