Roger Moore was 57 during filming -- the oldest actor to play Bond in an official film.
THE VERDICT
Synthesized from published reviews
Moore's final Bond is the weakest entry of his era, though Christopher Walken's Max Zorin -- genuinely unhinged, genuinely threatening -- gives the film more edge than it might otherwise have had. The San Francisco setting is well-used in the climax, and the Duran Duran theme is one of the series' most enduring. An uneven exit for a Bond who had long since earned a stronger final chapter.
