0020 | A View to a Kill

And finally, here we are... the last film of the original saga. Let's not beat around the bush here, it's a much-maligned movie. It's loved and hated in fairly equal measure due to it's purported campy tone, geriatric Bond, bat-shit wild Walken, menacing May Day, and screeching Stacey Sutton... but when has consensus ever gotten in the way of a good time? OHMSS was widely panned at time of release and later became a standard bearer for the franchise; DAF was praised as a return to form by the wider cinema-going public and we all know how that turned out. Maybe it's time to give A View to a Kill the love and attention it deserves? Or maybe it's just an overblown, overstuffed mess. We'll see.
