Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

rupak_speaking Timothy Dalton came across as a refreshing change after almost a decade of Roger Moore's lighter portrayal of Bond. I, for one, have been a supporter of how Roger played Bond after a more serious Connery, but I think it was a tad overdone and needed a fresher take on the character. Dalton got offer to play Bond as early as 1968, but when he finally agreed to play his first one in this, he looked the part. He was intense, more human, the glitter was still there in Bond's eyes, and the cheeky one-liners were missing. You would find shades of Dalton in Daniel Craig later. The Bond girl in this one looked ordinary though, more like a next door chick, but I didn't complain. I loved this new Bond and thought he could have started a little earlier and done a few more from the franchise. The plane scene was well shot, the climax lacked some flow, and the villains too didn't look ominous. But for Timothy Dalton, I give it a 6.5.

LeonLouisRicci The Longest Continuous Franchise in Movie History did an Abrupt About Face with the Departure of an Aging Roger Moore and the Over the Top Tone, Layered with Comedic Fluff that had been the Formula for a Decade. Abandoning for the 1970's, the Cynicism, "Black" Humor, and the Serious Semi-Realism of the Connery Films.Attempting the Change was a bit Risky since the Bond Films all made Money. Some made a Ton of Money. The Mediocre Box-Office of the Two Timothy Dalton Bonds had Them Second-Guessing. But in Retrospect both of the Dalton Deliveries Deserved, and have Subsequently Received, a Better Reputation. In Fact, after the Pierce Brosnan Films, Daniel Craig and the Producers Picked Up on the Timothy Dalton Take once again.While this, the 15th James Bond Movie, is Not as Good as the Next and Final Dalton, it is Leaps and Bounds Better than most of the Goofy Roger Moore Movies. It Suffers somewhat with a Bloated Plot and a Residue from the Previous Over-Kill that was Part of the Formula. However, Overall it is a Thrilling Cold-War Finale.It's not a Perfect Bond Movie (few are), but it Stands the Test of Time, for those that take Their James Bond Seriously.

barrybrowne-356-740167 As a lifelong Bond fan, having seen each movie many times, this is absolutely one of the very worst, if not the most stupid, goof-riddled show (Moonraker being the other in contention methinks). Nothing wrong with Dalton or D'Abo, just under-used and over-written. Music is good however - Chrissie, A-ha, Tchaikovsky. All fine there.Even the font used in the credits is lame.Cool filming locations as always.I gave it a 2 score instead of 1 because it is a Bond movie. Nice cars, nice ladies, etc., but because it is Bond one's expectations are heightened. Huge budgets and all. Live and Let Die is crap too but much better that this turd.Have a great day.

mattysouth Dalton shows a serious side that's been missing from the role since Sean Connery's earliest 007 days. And as a whole, the new picture is less of a special-effects affair than most of Roger Moore's Bond films.There's no shortage of action in The Living Daylights, but the movie adds up to a real adventure. Besides, the action scenes even have quiet moments: A lyrical skydiving passage early on suggests that the film will have a bit of texture.Director John Glen and screenwriters Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson are all veterans of the 25-year-old series. Glen and Maibaum go back to the Connery films, and it shows. In The Living Daylights, they tell a tale of arms deals and defections, classical musicians and drug runners, romance and intrigue.It's all a little too complicated to explain here; in fact, it's all a little too complicated, period. But if the plot threads tangle from time to time, if too much depends on coincidence, and if the story runs on about 20 minutes too long, there are more than enough good things in this film to justify a trip to the theater.The look of the movie is bright and vivid -- and the ''credits'' sequence is no exception. As scantily clad women gyrate to the film's theme music, they look strangely wraith-like. Perhaps they are ghosts of earlier Bond girls, reappearing here to cheer on their successor.If so their encouragement seems to have worked: Maryam d'Abo plays the role of Czech cellist Kara Milovy with charm and sensitivity. She matches up well with Dalton, too. (They've both got the same sort of angular profiles.) Even the late Ian Fleming, who started this whole Bond business with his novels, might have approved of her.Other major players in this 15th Bond film (or 17th, depending on whether you include the anomalous Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again) include Joe Don Baker as a half-mad arms dealer, John Rhys- Davies as a KGB boss, Jeroen Krabbe as the double-dealing General Koskov, Andreas Wisniewski as a chameleon-like terrorist and Art Malik as an Afghan leader.The supporting cast features Desmond Llewelyn, returning as gadgeteer Q, and Robert Brown, returning as M, head of the British Secret Service. Caroline Bliss, who assumes the role of the ever- adoring Miss Moneypenny, is amusing in her very brief appearance. When she looks at Bond, she seems to be thinking, ''Let's have a look at the rest of those dimples.''Series-mastermind Albert ''Cubby'' Broccoli would do well to give us more of this Moneypenny in the future. And whatever Broccoli does, let's hope he holds onto his new Bond for a while.Remember the name: Dalton, Timothy Dalton. Accept no substitutes.
