I like most of the Bond movie's and i can see positives in all the portrayals of our favourite spy. I enjoyed Moore's first 5 movies (Moonraker got silly, but it was still fun) After seeing Dalton's gritty and reckless take on the Bond character, i remember thinking that he should have replaced Moore before he made 'Octopussy' and 'A View to a Kill' Dalton's Bond is probably the closest to Fleming's original idea, and it's only the Connery level of charisma that is lacking. The living Daylights is a fine addition to the genre and it's an action packed thrill ride with a gritty edge.7/10 Nice one Timothy

The Living Daylights manages to overcome the problem of it's length (all bond movies are a little too long) and remains interesting all the way through, assisted by a plot that never requires long dull conversations like many others in the series.Timothy Dalton is supremely underrated as Bond, and people who blindly label him as "humourless" are obviously confusing humour with campness; this isn't one of the forgettable pieces of fluff from the Moore years.Maryam d'Bo is a memorable Bond girl, she's certainly not the most attractive but she has an endearing innocence and her scenes with Dalton are always nice.The opening song and score throughout the movie is certainly the best of the series as well.Unless you're solely dedicated to the Roger Moore style of Bond movie, The Living Daylights is a great turn for the franchise.
