Roger Moore was 57 when he shot A View To A Kill, and boy can you tell. The actor has since admitted he was far too old to play the all-action, sexually magnetic role, and it proves a major hinderance to the film. The potential of Grace Jones' May Day, a unique Bond-girl in that she was able to physically overpower 007, was sadly wasted. Of course she falls for him, but she could have been the ideal candidate to finally resist his advances and stick by her villainous companions. Additionally, when Christopher Walken can't save your film, you know you have a bonafide stinker on your hands. The maniacal Max Zorin has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, whether grinning as he machine-guns scores of construction workers to death, or writhing around atop an air balloon with an axe in his hands. Worst Moment: A View To A Kill is perhaps the archetypal bad Bond movie, containing all the common criticisms of the franchise. It's fairly brainless, very campy, and occasionally almost comic-book like with it's numerous location-based action sequences. If forced to pick a crowning terrible moment, it's probably Q's robot, a horribly misguided attempt to seem modern and achieving the very opposite. A very outdated Bond, all in all.
