 to another movie reaction. My name is Jeroen, better known as Dutch Bond fan and joining me once again is my girlfriend Lirit. Today we are watching 1981's For Your Eyes Only. The first Bond movie of the 1980's, the fifth Roger Moore Bond film and you seem to have really enjoyed the last two, I think, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonrager, which you both gave a very similar rating. What are your hopes for the fifth Roger Moore movie, anything you're hoping to see in this one? What's the title? For Your Eyes Only. I think maybe a file or something like that that only James Bond can watch. Good point, I think you're pretty spot on. Yes. I think you're pretty spot on there. I just want to add, you know how we went to space in the previous one and how it went particularly over the top, cartoony. Now obviously he's not going to go to space again, he's literally going to go more down to earth, so it's going to be more secretive, secret agents. Exactly, more realistic, not necessarily too focused on the gadgets and all the outlandish stuff, but it's going to be more grounded. You'll also notice because we're now entering the new decade, the 1980's, the music will be different, you will see a lot of different stuff and I don't want to spoil anything more than that.

So without any further ado, let's just jump right into For Your Eyes Only. Also the gun barrel is also very different. You don't? Oh I love this. The guy that did the soundtrack is the same guy that did the soundtrack for the Rocky movies, Bill Conti. Ah, I never saw the Rocky movies before. Is this his mother? Oh wife, huh? His wife, remember? Oh yes, Her Majesty's. 1969, that was the year that that film came out. So strange, there's another guy standing at their grave. It's supposed to be the same character, right? That's the bad guy. The bad guy. Which one? The bad guy from all bad guys. Oh, what's his name? The bad guys from all bad guys. What's his name? They're gonna kill him. I knew it in the in the in the helicopter. Blofeld. Blofeld! I'm now flying remote control airways. Oh my god. Helicopter in Dubai and there was like a parachute. Of course you were. How possible. No, he doesn't survive. Well, he did because he's in the other movies also. No, this is the last time you see him in this timeline. He doesn't appear until the Daniel Craig movies. The only bomb title song where you see the singer in the titles. So this was the favorite title song of my mother. She saw this in cinema. She saw she was very amazed by the opening in cinema to see this. She was 16 back then. What do you think of the song? Very different than the rest of it. All the songs. More romantic, right? Yeah. We're gonna see. Fisherman. This is the important device on this ship. The ATAC. Automatic targeting attack communicator, I think. Out of the tub of my head. It looks like a cashier. Yeah. You have an unidentified object closing fast. It's a mine. It's a mine. British intelligence. This is not M. This is the minister of defense. Thank you darling. Will be something happening to the parents. It was set up. And she will become the blonde girl. Not a secret agent this time, but a girl who lost her parents. Yes, he's getting old in these movies. I think this is what you need as well. M's on leave and the minister has arrived here with the chief of staff and wants to see you immediately. There is no M in this movie. He's on leave because the actor that played in the first 11 movies, this is the 12th movie, he died, Burnout Lee. You were right. I was right. I was right. Look, the car is back. Bad guys always drive Mercedes in the barn. So, 80s, right? That's the girl. You squeezed my hand. This is the girl. She killed him. Yeah, you think so? The girls shot him? Who else? They have to use her car. She has a beautiful car. Yes, she does. She has to be serious. Her parents died. Yeah, they have to be a lot of laughing for her. We need to push to start the car. Doesn't have gadgets in this car. In the new Mission Impossible movie trailer they do this in a Fiat 500, also yellow, that one. It's similar to this movie. People think it's a homage to this movie. She's here left. He does have expression. He always makes that sound. Hmm. Oh, God, cracking 007. He always says that. If he recognized this. It better. Oh, yeah. By patching into the photographic files of the Suratay Interpol CIA. What are they doing? They're using the identograph. But what's that? It's high-tech equipment that can identify any person you'll see on this state-of-the-art computer. Now describe the person you were... That's it, huh? Blue. Ha ha ha. Of course, I can get a match from the whole world. There he is. Oh, yes. Ha ha ha ha. But with the red lotus. Yeah, Cortina. That's the bad guy. That's the bad guy. Easy. Is it CIA or? Vibi wants to know if you would escort her, Mr. Bond. That's the bad guy. It's Melina. This is the bad guy. Of course. You can buy those in a winter sport resort. Yes. Send them to the funeral, will you? Would you mind telling me what the devil you're doing in court? Your telegram. What telegram? You don't tell me what to do. A strange guy is telling you what to do, no. She needs to be in safe. He wants to protect her. Easy? No expression in her face. Easy? You do that and we'll never find out who or what is behind all this. It was my parents they killed, not yours. Let me out. Easy? I don't know. I think it suits the scene. Do you see a series? It won't be. I swear. Yeah, more. I think you're wonderful, baby, but I don't think you're Uncle Ari. Yep. Yeah. He thinks I'm still a virgin. You should get your clothes on. Now buy your nice creed. What more are doing that stuff? From the huge ramp. It's the Italian third time in a row. Really? Every time he's in Italy. It's the same guy every time. A really dangerous stunt. If I believe right, someone, a stuntman died doing this, I think. Really? Something like that. Recording to move something along those lines or got hurt. The woman you just saw in the casino, that was actually Piers Brosnan's wife at the time. They visited the set. This was before he came on, of course. Oh, he has the dove at his cuffling. Yeah. That's Colombo, the head. Why the other? He taped them just out of nowhere. Where's she going? She's going to die. Who's he looking for? A dove man? They said he was a dove man, but there's a switch. Christados is the bad guy, and he's the good guy. This is the twist. He's working for Christados. That's luck. Is it confusing? Yeah, there are too many people. Just one good guy, one bad guy, and a henchman. He picked it up. I forgot about that part. What a training for Bond. Oh, he's hanging on a cliff. You left this with Ferrara, I believe. That's one of the best kills in the series, I think. Oh, the statues. That's it. But this movie was mainly only James Bond. What do you mean? Not the Bond girl. She appeared quite a few times. But the action and everything, he wanted to save her because she's like a normal girl. She's not a secret agent, that's what you mean. But she does use the crossbow. Yeah, that's true. I never use a crossbow in my normal life. No, of course not. I love this music in this movie. Something. Yeah, I'd have to find the ATAC if it's still there. We should do this one day. Look for the ATAC. Look for the ATAC. Explore the Isle Mir. Yeah, something happening. There was going to happen something here. There it is. Like a minute ago, he was like, speak only when necessary, then he's reading out the whole thing. This is the bad guy. I knew it. Something would happen. It's one of the men working for Kristalln's. But look at the suit he's wearing. It's like the Michelin man. You have to be quick now. Have you ever seen an underwater submarine battle? Tiny subs fighting each other. Disarming it. From the second Bond novel. Try to get loose. Let's putting it mildly 007. St. Cyril's, where we used to hide from the Germans. We have to make towards the shed on the left, which houses the basket and the electronic winch. It looks like the shed in Kingsman, the third movie. Yeah, kind of. You see, it's also on the rock. Yeah, good point. It's similar. But we are only five men. And one woman. With a huge shot. It's a long climb. I would never have the guts to climb. Not me neither. Using his laces. Very sweaty hands. Yes. Dayton, prime minister. Remember who? Prime minister in the 80s. Margaret Thatcher. A credit to the nation. 007. Imagine them doing that nowadays with like Boris Johnson or something. They would never do that anymore. We finished watching For Your Eyes Only. What are your initial thoughts? It was a good movie. I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, did you like it more than Moonraker or less? I think less with my stars. Really? Yeah. So actually the more outlandish you actually kind of enjoyed it. I think so, yes. I think I'm more like the richest things. Yeah, that's good, that's good. This is definitely a more down-to-earth bomb movie, right? It's not like you won't see villains with metal teeth in this. It wouldn't fit the tone of the film. But I'm glad you at least liked the film. Let's see quite how much you liked it by going into your rating, starting with your stars for Bond's performance. Roger Moore's fifth Bond film. Four stars. Four stars, pretty much again for Roger Moore. Any comments on him as Bond? No, he did a really good job. So short but sweet. Just like the other movies. Yeah, you're really starting to get used to him after five films now, right? Yeah, he gets a little bit older. I agree, yeah. You see that also in the movie. Yeah, and he will only get older because there's two more for him to come. Oh, two more? Yeah, he did seven. So yeah, a lot of Roger Moore movies, but this one is very different than the other ones. Do you have a favorite moment of him in this film? Like the part where he kicks off the car of a lot. Of the cliff, yes. With the bad guy in it, yeah. And the mountain climbing, that's really tense as well. Very dark. Yeah, for you. Yeah, it's so different to shooting lasers in space. It's like he's using his shoe lasers to get back on such a different movie. So, okay, well, let's just move on to this is the one I'm very curious about. The Bond Girl, which is Melina Havelach in this film. What did you think of her? Three stars. Three stars. I guess that's decent for her. I was hoping you would give her more, but this is your rating. Explain. She has one expression. Yeah, I was afraid you were not into her expression. But she is a beautiful girl and she has beautiful long hair, but she has one expression. Yeah, well, if both your parents are killed, I guess my expression wouldn't be like the whole time. But what about her character? What did you think of how she was written, her background story? Yes, she's a normal girl. She's not like CSI or CIA, sorry, FBI or rooting for the bad guys kind of stuff. She's just a normal girl. She was the daughter of a marine biologist, so that's why she knew a lot about the underwater world. But was she right in wanting to avenge her parents that aspect of the story? You would just go after the killer and straight up pick up your crossbow from your closet. I don't have a crossbow in my closet. No, otherwise she would notice. Of course, but I'm glad you gave her three stars, a decent barn girl. And at least, you know, they tried something different in this one. Yeah. Then a secret agent every time. Okay, three stars from Alina. Moving on to the villains in this film. Mainly, Cristados was the main villain. Locke was one of his right-hand men and Eric Treidler. And in the beginning, there was a bold man with a cat that wasn't Bloval, but was actually Bloval, but I couldn't mention it was Bloval. Anyway, what did you give? What did you give the villains? I gave them two stars. Two stars. I can see your point for that. But explain why. Villains. I agree. Well, that was it. That was it. That was not good villains. That's good for me. I think you will forget about the villains very quickly in this film, right? Yes. And I was also, like, disoriented. Like, who was the bad guy? Who was the good guy? Where did that one came from? Is he a normal guy? What is he from? I saw the confusion during the film. So basically, Dave wants us to believe in the beginning of the film that Colombo is the bad guy, and the dove is the logo of the bad guys. And the bad guys kept putting the pin of the dove, and they wore the jackets of him. And then, you know, Christados keeps telling him he's the bad guy. And then it turns around, it's the other way around. And he was, all the things he was saying about him was what he's doing himself. So Christados was the bad guy. I do like Colombo as an ally more than as, you know... I was the guy with eating pistachio. Yes. Yes, it makes me want to eat them now as well. You like them also. I love those things, yeah. So, yeah. But I honestly, if I were to give a weak point to For Your Eyes Only, I have to agree. It's the villains. Because I think it's a fantastic spy thriller. But because they made the bad guys more realistic, you know, it's not like a guy that wants to take over the ocean or outer space and re-colonize the entire world. This is more realistic than these are real people. But I think you will forget about this one a lot faster, these films. Yeah, yeah. Okay, fair enough. Moving on to the locations in this film. What did you think and what did you rate them? Three stars. Three stars, okay. North Italy, Greece, and London. And Spain. Oh yeah, and Spain. Yeah. I forgot one. Yeah, so a European movie. Yes. Everything was in Europe in this one. Very beautiful. Yeah, especially Greece, right? I think they showed the Greek culture a lot, like you kept hearing the... You saw the Greek dances and the Greek culture. And obviously the Bongo was half Greek with her Greek mother. So it's... Yeah, it's... I like the locations. I think it was mostly in Greece. Yeah, definitely. Because at one point I couldn't... I didn't know where they were, like in Greece or Italy. No, they're in Greece. Now they're in Italy. Are they in Italy or in Greece? They were, no. From after the ski resort they went to Greece and they stayed there for the rest of the movie. Oh, so everything with snow was in Italy. Right. And the rest was in... Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And that's in Chapel thingy was also in Greece? Yeah. Ah, okay. Yeah. So did you like that location of the villain on top of the... Because that was a real location? Oh, is that a real location? Yeah, yeah. Did you like that location? It reminded you of The King's Man? Yeah, the third one, the new one. I agree. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, I agree. Okay. But what did they do in Spain? I forgot. They were looking for Gonzales, the killer of... Oh, yes, yeah. And he met Melina there and they did the drive with Citroen, the yellow Citroen. Oh, yeah, with the duck. The yellow duck. That's what we would call it in Dutch. Yeah. Moving on to the story of For Your Eyes Only. What did you think? Three stars. Three stars. Again, okay. Fair enough. What did you think of the story? It was a good one. A lot of things happen in this story, but I don't know. He had to search for ATAC. Yeah, that was the plot device. That was the main thing, what he was looking for. But in the middle of the movie, I was like, where is he looking for? Yeah, because they were also figuring out who killed the parents. And those were the people that wanted to sell the ATAC to the Russians. Mm-hmm. So yeah, I can see, because for me it's easy. I've seen every Bond film above 20 times, probably, maybe even more. So to me, it all makes sense, besides Quantum of Solace. But everything else makes sense to me. But you only watch it once, so I can see you would be confused by some of the stuff. So yeah, that makes sense. It was a good story. I gave it three stars. Right, yeah. Because I was in the story. Yeah, it was a good one. Yeah, fair enough. Let's see if we can find the transmitter thingy. And then you notice that the girl, her parents died and she wanted to kill them, so. Yeah, yeah. And in the end, the transmitter thingy was thrown away. Yeah, and what was the word? The ATAC. No. Automatic Targeting Attack Communicators or something. Oh, Detaché, the... Oh, Detans. Detans. Yeah. It's the word they use in the Cold War when there is sort of a Wapestilstanz between... Yeah. That's the Dutch word, kind of. The truce. The truce, kind of, yeah. It means, like, the same like when Bond was working with the KGB and the spy who loved me. That's Detans. Oh, yes? You know, they had... It's, yeah. I will use that word now. Detans. Yeah. Like, so if we have, like, a Cold War battle between us, we'll... No, Jerome. Detans. Detans. Yeah. I'm glad that we enriched your vocabulary there. So we're moving on to the enjoyment of this movie. What did you think? Three stars. Three stars. I think maybe four, because you... You heard me scream a lot and I think the neighbors also. Okay, so we have to give it now. Is it three or four? Let's give them four. Four stars for your enjoyment, four for your rise only. So just add to the star last minute. Four stars. Four stars. That's your final answer. Yes. Talk about how you enjoyed this film. Well, you heard me scream a lot. Yeah. There were a lot of tense moments in this film, right? Also at the cliffhanger, like... Literally at the cliffhanger. Literally at the cliff, you felt my hand so sweaty. Yeah. There's a lot of action in it as well. Yes, also underwater. Like, oh my god, I think I screamed like 20 times. Oh my god, do something. It's the way it's filmed. Like, you see someone is approaching and you hear like, almost like the music from Jaws to Shark. Like, someone's coming, then there is the whole ski sort thing. Yeah. And also when they were like tied up and put in water and he was like scratching his back with the coral. Yeah, that's from a... Oh no, that hurts, that hurts! That's from the second Bond novel from Living Like Died, a novel. So I'm glad you appreciated all of those, because that's typical Fleming actually that they put in. Ah, okay. So Fleming one star more. Thanks to Fleming, yeah. So that brings your average score for this movie to three stars. Are you satisfied with that score for your eyes only? Yes, is it more than the previous one? No, less. I think Moonraker you gave three and a half, maybe four. Yeah, three and a half I think. But yeah, it goes to show you just want to see Bond shoot lasers in space and have floating gondolas in Venice. But at least you enjoyed both of them a lot with your enjoyment. So we're going on to the right track. Do you get tired of Roger Moore after five films? No, no. Okay, you still enjoy him? Yes, I still enjoy him. I'm glad to hear it. Um, I think, well, is he better than the others? That's for you to decide. I mean, that's a completely subjective question. Well, Sean Connery is like the looks he has for James Bond, but this guy has like acting more for the Bond. He made it his own. He's like, he's like the comedic. But in this one, not so much. But usually he is more lighthearted than Connery. Yeah, next time we will be watching the next Bond movie, probably after the third Indiana Jones movie. Oh, yes. And then, but the next Bond film for this reaction series is going to be Octopussy. Octopussy, yes. Can't wait to see what you think of that one. I thought, is that? Yeah, that's what most people said. That's why I love it. So we're going to be... I think it's a Bond girl. You think Octopussy is a Bond girl? Well, every Bond girl has like a strange name. Okay, we'll find out in the next episode. Obviously don't spoil it in the comments this time because sometimes he's actually looking at the comments. But anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed and we'll see you guys in the next movie reaction. Take care, guys. Bye.
