I understand where the negative reviews for Sir Roger Moore's final Bond outing, but despite those negative reviews, I love watching "A View To A Kill".
Additionally, I've always believed that "A View To A Kill" was a good old-fashioned spy film that used none of the fancy gadgets similar to those from previous entries. Bond was using his own wits and physical strength to get from point A to point B. See the scene wherein Bond and Stacey escaped from a burning City Hall.
Still, there's this one flaw with the film and that's the character of Bond girl, Stacey Sutton. Aside from seeing Bond's macho side as he was going down the ladder while carrying Stacey, you would also see how helpless Stacey was. She would always be screaming "James!" in whatever critical situation she becomes linked to.
Another instance of Stacey Sutton's obnoxious personality was when she was kidnapped by Max Zorin and his thugs through a giant blimp. The blimp was lurking behind her, quietly reaching down for her, and there she was grabbed and the annoying part here was that it was a giant vehicle going down to reach her. She must've been so stupid to not notice, or hear, something coming down near her.
During the final confrontation scene with Bond and Zorin, she was again a damsel in distress who was screaming out "James!"
