One of the darker Bond movies. I liked Dalton in this one. Underrated.

i don't like bond movies with brosnan. i think that's the last good bond movie. not crap.

I don't like Bond movies. Any of them.

If you've ever read any of the Bond novels, Dalton's look and mannerisms were the closest to the original fiction's Bond character, who was a little more sleazy and a bit more brutal than the cool, calm, collected Sean Connery/Roger Moore/Pierce Brosnan/Daniel Craig Bonds. George Lazenby kicked ass too, unfortunately he appeared in the most emotional Bond movie and will be relegated to the forgotten annals of Bond lore.

Not crap. Dalton rules.

I thought both of Dalton's Bond films were real stand-outs in the whole series. A major departure from the 15 years of sillies the Roger Moore films subjected us to (although I like them, too - it's just that they're quite playful and not at all gritty). Plus they had real plots, a department in which the Brosnan films (except The World is Not Enough were seriously lacking).

Of the two, I like The Living Daylights a bit more, but I dig License to Kill as well. It was perhaps the rawest Bond flick up until this new one with Daniel Craig.

Also, I totally agree about Lazenby's performance in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It was another radical departure toward seriousness in the whole Bond canon.

Diamonds are Forever dude. Diamonds are Forfuckingever.

Features two of the best cinema villains ever:



David Lee Roth and Nick Cave.

By far the best non-Connery Bond flick until Craig took over. Dark and uncompromising (relatively speaking). They could've done a little more with it, but I thought they were taking some significant chances considering the tone the franchise had taken for many years previous.

Ditto.

Tedious to say the least, watching a man walking around with his gun-as-a-metaphor-for-cock in his hand, shooting baddies with his spunk bullets and spreading venereal diseases amongst subjugated women.
