MCT:August 18, 2008This movie is like the energizer bunny. It just keeps going and going, long after you've lost interest. Its length, along with its often annoying score, take away from the often breathtaking action sequences. Highlights include the opening car chase, the fight in the jail, and the climax aboard the plane. The first climax, that is. As for Dalton, I don't think his seriousness as Bond would have been a problem if handled better by the script and direction. Daniel Craig was serious, but no one seemed to mind.

MCT:August 8, 2008This is a great movie. Unfortunately, it's plagued by the same problem that troubles "Rambo 3"; specifically, the Afghans assisted by the hero in their fight against the Soviets are the same people who will go on to become the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. Ouch.

Timothy Dalton's best Bond picture. He is better than what most people say. A Perfect Bond for the 80's

Lorsque Roger Moore atteste que A View To a Kill est définitivement le pire des James Bond puisqu'il est trop violent, c'est que l'on encore en 1985. Car, s'il aurait attendu deux années supplémentaires avant de se prononcer, en 1987, il aurait eu la (mal)chance d'assister à The Living Daylights, le tout premier Timothy Dalton.
Définitivement, on est plongé jusqu'au cou dans une surdose d'action brut et on n'a d'autre choix que de supporter et d'endurer une recrudescence douloureuse de la violence inutile dans l'univers de James Bond. Plus que jamais, les poursuites sont irréalistes et interminables, la violence décuplée risiblement et les failles de l'agent secret, inexistantes.
Sans être un piètre acteur, Timothy Dalton apporte déjà quelque chose de négatif à l'image de James Bond, en ce sens où l'authenticité du personnage, qui en avait déjà mangé un coup avec les dernières prestations de Moore, est à présent réduite au néant. En mon sens, il n'y a alors plus beaucoup de plaisir à tenter de se laisser impressionner par la prestance des nombreux cascadeurs plutôt que de la brillante logique de James Bond et du jeu d'acteur de Dalton. -

Timothy Dalton is a cello wielding, milkman battling, dope smuggling, taliban aiding, ferris wheel riding son of a bitch!

It just a typical James Bond movie... But it still pretty interesting to watch... Timothy Dalton looks cool as James Bond in this movie...

#17 -- Dalton's debut isn't nearly as exciting as it should have been. The introductory sequence prepares us for another great Bond movie, but instead we get some incredibly lame bad guys, a confusing plot involving -- you guessed it -- the Russians, and an assassin who strangles people with his walkman while tossing bottles of explosive milk at people. I just feel very "meh" about this one. It doesn't strike a chord with me at all.

Timothy Dalton as Bond is way underrated. Licence To Kill is better than this, but this is still quite good. It has one of the best theme tunes as well!
-

The better of Dalton's two Bond films. Compared to others from the series I think this one is good, but often overlooked.
-
MCT:May 14, 2008
One of the most epic and expensive Bond films. Unlike some fans, I didn't mind Dalton's seriousness (we needed it after Roger). The movie may feel very dated but the finale on the plane is a great climax.

When it comes to playing Bond, nobody had down the overall feel of 007 like Timothy Dalton, who was committed to playing him like he was protrayed in the books. Directed by 007 vet John Glen, this was the first movie to star Dalton in the role and he clearly took it in a much different direction than the tired Moore had. A very underrated entry into the franchise. Too bad Dalton had to get lost between Moore and Brosnan in 007land.

One of my favourite Bond flicks of the entire franchise...very enjoyable and this one is not just about the looks and flashy gadgets.

Timothy Dalton's premiere in his short lived term as 007 (hey, it was twice as long as Lazenby!) The film is a departure from the Roger Moore films with Dalton playing Bond as a darker role that is closer to the original Ian Fleming books.

One of faves. I like Dalton, but feel that he really missed out on being Bond to his potential. Now he makes mostly crap.

In 1987, Roger Moore retired from the role of James Bond, and the world was given the hero in the form of Timothy Dalton. This time Bond is more darker, but without going too deep. The action scenes include a few gems, and is not nice treat to actually see Dalton joining in, such as the feeding care pre-title sequence. The gadgets are also impressive this time, and a much better improvement than the previous adventure. The Aston Martin has also got a new makeover but still retains the Bond qualities. John Barry returns for the last time to bring us (in my opinion) one of the best Bond soundtracks. Although he was reportedly unhappy with the title theme by A-HA, i find that it really fits the feel of the movie very well.
The rest of the cast are excellent. A new Miss Moneypenny is featured in the form of Caroline Bliss. As shes only featured in the two Dalton films, and still only gets a small screen time, the character is hardly memorable. Timothy Dalton has proved himself as Bond in one of the better Bond flicks. -

Like A View to a Kill, best thing about it is the song, A-ha man. And also props to using Gibraltar in the opening sequence, for some reason I frickin' love Gibraltar.

Well, it had Joe Don Baker in it as a bad guy, although he has like 5 minutes of screen time. The best part has to be the KGB agent who listens to 80's rock music on his headphones and then strangles people to death with the cord. Timothy Dalton makes the whole series different by taking no crap from anyone and not sleeping with anyone. It's kinda like Bond in the future when he's bored of eveything.

Dalton is not back like Bond,but i ever hear about the violence of Dalton era,but hav a kind of humor from Moore.But is a good Bond movie
-
MCT:February 9, 2008
I think this is the best Bond movie I´ve seen until now. The story is much better and more realistic than earlier. And Dalton is really charmy, excilent in his character. But this was just my third Bond movie, I have some more to see than....
-
MCT:February 6, 2008
Huge change from Sean Connery, Dalton doesnt have the same swave personality that we have come to expect from the bond characters, movie is Bond thru and thru tho!
-
MCT:February 4, 2008I don't know about Timothy Dalton. He's not as sexy and suave as other guys who have played James Bond.
-
MCT:January 31, 2008This movie is one of my favorites. Sean Connery didn't smile alot during his reign as James Bond and even though Roger Moore smiled a bit more often he did in a fashion that wasn't so ovious kind of laid the smiles in there. Here Timothy Dalton's first of 2 movies as James Bond really smiles and looks like he really had fun with the role as Mr. Bond. I loved seeing John Ryes Davies who plays Gimli and Treebeard in Lord Of The Rings playing another character 20 years ago even before his reaccuring role in Star Trek Voyager as well. This movie is fun from the get go. I love how part of the movie is in the snow and has woman with a cello involved as well. This isn't my favorite James Bond but ahead of many Sean Connery's and a few Roger Moore's...as far as where it's placed..it's as follows..
A View To A Kill, For Your Eyes Only, Moonraker, The Spy Who Loved Me..Diamonds are Forever, The Living Daylights, Live and Let Die, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, The Man With The Golden Gun, Octopussy, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Goldfinger, Dr. No and From Russia With Love.
Next to rate is Licence To Kill
