A View to a Kill

Walken, right, you can sit back and watch A View to a Kill because of Walken. But let's be honest, he is the ONLY reason that you can sit back and finish this. The 70s, by 1985, were long over and Moore was clearly the 70s era 007. The mood, the atmosphere, the silliness, the feel of 007 needed to change and we still had 70s Bond in 85. And then, Moore himself looked kind of like Bond in his 70s. He was far too old for the role. Too old to be believable as a super spy. Too old fit the part, and needed to pass on the mantel a few films ago. By 85 the Silly Bond Era needed to end. They needed a new 007, and this, and Moore, just didn't work any more.
