I think you mean Living Daylights. It's one of my favorites in the series, and IMO, Dalton is underrated as Bond. I think he gets chit on because he played a more serious bond after fans got used to the comedy in the Moore films.

Watchout your comments op

Best Moore line from A View to a Kill after he smashed Grace Jones:

"Sleep well?"

"A little restless but I got off eventually" JFL

I’m a big fan of The Spy Who Loved Me


For those who didn’t like Pierce Brosnan, if you haven’t seen Goldeneye put it at the top of your to do list

Good takes though I like Casino Royale better.

License to Kill is an absolutely awesome Bond film.

Agreed with Golden Gun - Scaramanga is my favorite Bond villain.









Also fuk you OP he ran across a pond full of alligators. Or at least his stunt double did.

This. OP is a ****git.Brosnan was good, but he was cursed with bad films. Goldeneye was his only good one.

Nice. Yep the days when stunts were done physically. I believe it was a double, but that's some crazy stuff. The aerial car flip in TMWTGG was nuts too

It was a double and it was the guy that owned the alligator farm where they were filming it.

He wasn't as good as Sean Connery or Daniel Craig. His Bond was more goofy/funny, which at the time got criticized in comparison to Connery's Bond. He isn't the worst James Bond, but still ranks amongst the best.

Personally, Pierce Brosnan is still the worst Bond ever (imo), despite him being the first Bond I saw/knew in childhood.

Don't push it boyo, Craigcels need to go back to their corner.

Craig was never allowed to be Bond, he was an emotional mopey version of Bourne with the looks of a Ukrainian bouncer. He should have been henchman #2 at best, ffs they had to artificially turn Mikkelsen, Bardem and Malek ugly with scars because they would have looked better than him.

Bond was in his early days in CR, ok. QoS was an overall incompetent and forgettable movie but they were hit with the writer's strike and Craig had to write parts of the script because there was no one else to do it. The point was that Bond finally got closure on the Vesper schit and started fuking up Quantum big time, so there was a lot of promise that we would now be in full swing.

Then suddenly in the next movie - Skyfall - Craig Bond is treated as an alchie aging loser at the ripe old age of 42 and is explicitly shown to fail all of his tests and tasks. Well except for the recovering the NATO agent list part - the MacGuffin behind the whole plot that gets dropped as soon as we we reach Silva - but only because it was Silva's intention all along.

Spectre was horrible since he was clearly done with the whole thing, and NTTD is just a massive blob of AIDS and stupidity. They bring back the Vesper schit as an artificial and stupid way to divide Bond and Madeleine, because it's totally in character for anyone, especially Bond to mope over a chick who he stretched for a week 15 years ago. This after explicitly getting closure and tying it off 3 movies ago.

Just no.

I put view to a kill in last night and realized i had them mixed up.This.

Also Walken's reactions in that same scene when he's looking bond up in kgb computer system...was great.

Bond always needs a great villain to play against and walken nailed his role.



I thought dalton was underrated also.
Living daylights was my first Bond movie in a theater with friends.

It's been a while but i wasn't a fan of the way they "reset" bond in Spectre.
haven't seen the latest one yet.

I agree with the Skyfall and Spectre assessments. There is all the sudden this HUGE change in Bond between QOS and SF where the joke is now Bond is some aged, unfit agent. The "home-alone" ending and faux-deep psychological look into Bond's character and background was completely unnecessary for a Bond movie....these were once fun action/adventure films, as a Bond movie should be IMO. Wont even go into Spectre, ugh. Just not a fan of the new direction in these Bond movies.

Shooting up fuking Westminster in the heart of London with 2 of your mooks should have some serious repercussions for the bad guys, and they should be hunted down by the whole country from SAS to Met and off duty beefeaters but of course tension needs to happen so they pull up an attack helicopter and 3 dozen armed men, while the head of MI6 gets a failure of an agent, fat Santa, a box of nails and two gas canisters in a run down manor in Scotland.

Brilliant writing.

lol bad writing indeed

The quntiessential bond who's most similar to the original character:





Not to take anything away from Sean Connery, but Pearce was as smooth and refined a bond as one could hope for.


Craig was made to be too brash and incredibly rough around the edges with emotional instability, and is the more extreme of the bunch.
Very accurate
It was just a symptom of the times.

If we had Brosnan today, he'd be the perfect fit for Bond, with amazing movies.

The Man with the Golden Gun and Live and Let Die are both really good Bond movies. Yes, they're corny but still good. Bond was always corny though until the Daniel Craig movies which made him more like a real assassin/spy

my dad grew me up on Moore bonds and on my own i grew up with Bronson bonds so i always liked them more than the other Pre-Craig bonds.

Overall i have to say Craig was the best bond. not saying his movies were better but i think he captured more elements of masculinity than any other bond did.

unfortunately this debate ends here. after this latest bond its a guarentee the next bond will be a woman or a gay or a tranny
