A View to a Kill marks the 14th outing for the official Bond movies. This time out Bond must outwit power crazy industrialist Max Zorin who plans to monopolise the world's microchip supply, killing millions in the process. Can Bond travel to Silicon Valley, thwart Zorin's evil plans and make it back home to collect his pension on Thursday? We'll see...

This is the last outing for Moore as the world's most famous secret agent - and not before time. While this is an excellent film one can't help but feel sorry for Moore as he fumbles his way through the movie. And the scenes with Moneypenny are truly stomach churning.

Moore hams it up with instantly forgettable lines like: "Call me James. It's five days to Alaska", that will make even the keenest Bond fan wince with embarrassment. Although the supporting cast - Christopher Walker, Grace (I'm barking) Jones and Patrick Macnee - add a great deal.

That said, this is still a damn fine outing for Bond fans and a great way for Moore to bow out - it's just a shame he looks so haggard.

The DVD contains an, as expected, array of additional material well worth the £19.99 asking price.
