The Living Daylights Reviews

The Best Bond Film Ever

Timothy Dalton gives one of the best, most focused and realistic Bond performances in an exciting and challenging film. He is a real person with all the dimensions you can expect but keeps the charm and the one-liners.

The opening sequence is one of the best I have seen with a really captivating first shot of the new Bond as he races across Gibraltar.

I love the interplay of the villains and the feeling - that is the last real Bond film. It was made shortly before the fall of the Iron Curtain so it was the last chance for Britain and the Soviets to battle it out.

Also this is how you would imagine a real spy thriller - not necessarily to rule the world but the stakes are high enough - someone is assasinating top British spies on a hit list and they must be stopped - at whatever cost.

The acting throughout is superb - highly recommended.

scare the living daylights out of her!

What makes ' The Living Daylights' such a great bond film? well, the opening sequence with parachute from a plane turned into an assassination scenario with 004 is pretty cool. the main song ' The Living Daylights' sung by A-Ha is fun. then we go back into the film which sees Bond & this man named Saunders sent to evaluate him. basically the plot sees Bond on a mission which nearly results in Bond's license to kill being taken away{ but they save that up for ' License To Kill'}: but the storyline involving the question which one is telling the truth: General Pushkin{John-Rhys-Davies} or General Koskov{Jeroem Krabbe} ? is like the plot in ' For Your Eyes Only'with Columbo & Aris Kristatos. basically there is also a henchman in the film: Necros played by Andreas Wisniewski who is an echo of Donald ' Red' Grant in ' From Russia With Love' + Maryam D' Abo 's Kara Milovy is her own original character but is a cross between Tanya Romanova in'From Russia With Love' {and} Domino in' Thunderball' this movie has a thrlling fairground sequence + much more.

[Highly rated reviewer]

good bond film

I think Timothy Dalton was under rated as bond, ok he was alot more serious than either the other bonds, but this film is one of the better bond films, only let down was the ending became a let down. maybe if a better director was involved then i think this would of been probably been alot better.

Bond Is Back

I still say that Timothy Dalton was one of the best actors in this part, this film just proves that fact, as Mr.Dalton strolls through the part with such ease, the film packs a huge punch, and the plot is deep, i would rent this movie in a momment.

as with all james bonds the effects improve with every film though i didnt rate tim dalton as good as sean or pierce brosnan film still brilliant as are all his films

Yet another good James Bond film,Timothy Dalton at his best,I really enjoy the Bond films,There is always plenty of action and a good story to them.

Really underrated bond film. Dalton is definately the most realistic bond but had the worst scripts. Having said that The Living Daylights is one of my favourite in the series of bond films.

It manages to retain the charm and relative realism that the current films in the series (especially the last one) seem to be missing.

Not my favourite bond but still good..Agent 007 (Timothy Dalton) is assigned to protect a Russian defector (Maryam d'Abo) from the KGB. When the defection proves to be an elaborate ploy, Bond woos her anyway, and together they follow a trail to a crooked American arms dealer supplying weapons to Afghanistan.

Yet another good James Bond film,Timothy Dalton at his best,as with all james bonds the effects improve with every film
