Don't hurt @Benny! I don't have Stockholm syndrome, honest.
A View to a Kill, 1985
/10
1. Direction – 6 (Glen’s weakest effort)

2. Screenplay – 6
3. Script – 9
4. Plot – 5
5. Action – 6 (no tension, but a whole lot of carnage)
6. Main Villain – 7 (Gray’s miscast as Blofeld, but he does have a way with words, and indeed his interactions with Bond are the films highlight)

So we are now on 1/2 from the 24 movies and DAF is my 12th favorite Bond movie, sometimes i consider it 13th place. My top 11 not changed much. For long time Charles Gray be my favorite visible Blofeld till i change my mind in OHMSS Telly Savalas. Locations (inspecialy The Netherlands and Las Vegas), humor (Number 3 of Connery era), Sean Connery (humor), Action and having Blofeld make the difrence. Big fan of PTS inspecialy the opening. Pacing in connection with the more dificult story and music get me out the movie sometimes, but les then with GF and the end is more boring then Dr No (and already think that take to long).
