For Your Eyes Only (1981)

In Roger Moore’s fifth outing as the MI6 agent, Bond must recover a missile targeting system before the Soviets get their hands on it. I should have known based on the uninspiring way they dispose of super villain Ernst Blofeld before the opening credits that this wouldn’t be one of my favorite Bond flicks. I’m never a fan when they parade through a disorienting series of locations during these. Even if good thrills are found in snow chases and skating rinks fights in Italy, there’s plenty of excitement to be had just sticking with the variety of scenery offered in Greece. None of it is helped by Carole Bouquet, who despite having a strong background story plays a forgettable female lead, upstaged by young ice skater Lynn-Holly Johnson’s brattiness and incomprehensible horniness for Bond.
