Oliver Harper hey man i am from costa rica i like your videos I fan of James Bond Please review this movies Young Guns The Dirty Dozen Young Guns II Casino Royale (2006) Homeward Bound The Incredible Journey The Avengers St. Elmo's Fire Pretty in Pink Stakeout Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2 Sixteen Candles The Incredible Journey Spectre Quantum Of Solace Mission Impossible Gosth Protocol Thats Darn Cat Die Hard Point Break (1991)

Oliver Harper Timothy Dalton is together with Sean Connery and George Lazenby my favorites i love this movies and License To Kill

Dalton is very underrated and a great bond real shame he never got to do at least 2 more

Did you know that The Pet Shop Boys had done a demo of the theme song and wanted to do the score? The demo is great. To bad it wasnt used

For me, the most underrated is Tomorrow Never Dies.

@@racewiththefalcons1 Brosnan's best

@@racewiththefalcons1 Change the name of the villain to Mark Zuckerberg and the movie become relevant once again

As opposed to Skyfall, the most overrated. (Which doesn't mean that it's bad at all.)

@@str.77 Yeah, I really liked Skyfall. But when I first saw it, I was like "why so much hype?" I mean, Daniel Craig was great, and Javier Bardem is always amazing in his roles. But, what am I missing?

Dalton was too soon as a serious Bond..

I also think the Bourne films influenced the Broccolis when they were deciding how to reinvigorate the franchise after the forgettable DAD. Craig may even have been inspired by Dalton's performance.

I think the more serious take on Batman in Batman Begins showed the audience was looking for Bond to be more gritty as well.

And A View to a Kill WASN'T a ludicrous Bond film?

If only Dalton have done A View To A Kill he and Walken would've made that one of the best movies ever!

+abc64pan Problem is that the Moore years had effectively turned Bond into a comedy franchise by 1985. The Dalton era was too much of a shock to the system to most of the public at the time, but looking back it helped rehabilitate Bond as a serious action franchise, even if it wavered again towards the end of the Brosnan era.

+abc64pan You can tell critics see so much, if you're not in the right mood, or you ran into a bunch of crappy movies then see something you don't expect it can throw you off.

+abc64pan Agree!! I saw it in 87 and loved it. Dalton was the best ever Bond.

Mr Peaches Latour me too ,I loved it in 1987

they were stuffy old farts back then and they still are now lol

Lee Presson i would say Connery did too the first two times. After that though they just wanted to show Bond being Bond-y, which wasnt a bad decision seeing how successful it became after Goldfinger.

Moore always played the role as if he read the script in advance, knew he was never in danger, and just had to go through the motions with a bored look on his face.

Moore was not the greatest actor....

I totally agree.

When I was growing up I loved moore now I love dalton and have a soft spot for lazenby

"Salt corrosion."

absolutely spot on

The Living Daylights is my favorite Bond movie too

Robert Cornhole Swine, Remington Steele...

I agree. Pierce was the worst Bond, but I think it's kinda because the writing.

They will make him serious whether it was Brosnan who play Bond or not. And people are crying for him to play as he is famous on Remington series. Kinda like how Moore turned down Dr. No for he was busy in "The Saint" tv series.

@@josephdanieljirehdimacali4418 Roger Moore also turned down Diamonds Are Forever as he was doing his tv show The Persuaders which was cancelled in 72 and he was available for Live and Let Die after Connery turned down $5 million to return.

@@johnrife7134 agreed. I still love goldeneye I think its an amazing movie but damn do I ever wish dalton was bond in that film I mean cmon we were 1 freakin movie away that could have been a true masterpiece, brosnan is ok but way too light hearted goldeneye should have been a much more serious movie

After 12 years of Roger Moore, the audiences were not ready for this type of change, a hard edged serious killer. It just wasn't the right "time" for it. But I love the Dalton films...he was way ahead of his time. What Craig is doing now is what Dalton did 30 years ago.

Which is a shame, because For Your Eyes Only showed us a harder Moore and he didn't start out as quite as funny as he was in later installments. But Moore himself never liked for Bond to be a mean guy and had to be coerced into doing things like kicking that guy in the Mercedes over the cliff or twisting Maud Adams arm.

Agreed, and I think that line might be the best Bond line ever.

I don’t feel the line I’m sorry.

@@Fokfeesspecial Good for you?

I liked Craig much more in Casino Royale than any of the others he's done. I felt he had huge promise, but a. I felt they massively underused him, just kept regurgitating the exact same story over and over again (angry boring Bond leaves the service for some reason, then he has to come back eventually when a big terrorist villain shows up - he does some parkour chasing and gets tortured), and b. I felt he got more and more stiff and awkward in the role. I also just have not been able to picture him as James Bond. He just doesn't look anything like Bond. More like some Russian henchman masquerading as 007. Dalton was not only a better actor than Craig, but he looked exactly like James Bond should and generally acted more comfortably in the role. When Dalton had to be angry, he was REALLY realistic, but he could also chill out and have a smile and a laugh now and then. I also think Dalton did humour better too, it was just dry and not obvious lame dad jokes as people expected after Roger Moore. For example, I laugh far more genuinely at scene like Dalton's Bond telling Kara "NO. WAY!" to going back for her cello while they have only moments to escape the KGB, only to instantly cut to him sitting looking annoyed in the car as she runs out of the conservatoire with the cello and they shove it in the back seat - "Why didn't you learn the violin!" Humour like that felt not only more genuine and funny, but more part of the James Bond character, not tacked on dad jokes and stupid gags written by morons.

+Manu77 smart people who has read atleast one book knows dalton is the best :) great perfomance from him

In Casino Royale, Craig is jacked and uses modern guns and shooting techniques. It was a breath of fresh air. Sadly he's regressed hard since then. They went back to the PPK and one handed shooting, and Craig lost his muscles.

Please drop the "possibly." Thanks.

I believe he was the best Bond, post Connery. Cheers.

I loved both his movies since I was a kid. He was such a good bond. Only one who ever got close to how he was in the book at the time.

Interestingly, Dalton's Bond films have aged much better than Brosnan's, in plot, tone and design. The possible exception is GoldenEye, in which Brosnan was still somewhat restrained and more serious.

@@bomcabedal Goldeneye was written for Dalton, which helps explain that.

Ebert liked Dalton as Bond.

@@jayazathoth8530 and they both liked License to Kill, interestingly enough.

Don’t necessarily value their opinions anyway.

Critics ONLY Criticise ,which is easy to do

To be fair I understand where they’re coming from and their arguments are not irrational. Tbf Siskel is really inconsistent and constantly whines about every Bond that’s not Connery. He’s praising Brosnan here but when Goldeneye came around all he had was disdain. Idk I think with the standard set by Moore you can sympathise with their standpoint

+stardestroyer11 thanks man!. Thats really nice to hear.

So is her cousin Olivia.

Thank you for informing me of this

Aaaaaand Google search...

...which she has since said she regrets.

I agree. She was very yummy.

Amen.

Only by looks but not acting no way!!! Like the way he says Bond James Bond is unacceptable badly done, very cheap no class no gentleman

Agreed - the truest form of Bond.

@@Fokfeesspecial Oh, please...

Connery was the best in my opinion.. Dalton was crap.. As was Pierce Brosnan...

Just listen at 12:30. It's the more modern version I think but wow. So perfect even with just a series of clips.

despite all ive said, i too really like this movie :)

Nah, that is Connery. :)

Avoozl Bond is a character that existed in books before the movies, and Daltons Bond is far more accurate to the books, that makes him the "Best Bond" by default.

Thanks my friend! you're too kind. :)

+Karl Karlos Ebert was a great reviewer, very thoughtful and often willing to change his opinion on a movie he'd initially disliked. I never liked Siskel; he was always too conservative and reactionary.

+Chris Hegedus Let me shake your hand. I agree 100%. In my opinion it is the BEST bond movie ever and Timothy was the best Bond.

Brian Green yeah, Ebert probably desperately needed new glasses by that point!

She's playing an awful wet blanket in the film, though. Even for Bond girl standards, that level of cluelessness is rare.

John Ninnis Lois Maxwell retired from playing Miss Moneypenny after A View To A Kill as felt she was too old to keep playing the role and Albert Broccoli decided to recast the role for a younger actress in The Living Daylights.

She was fine in the role, but it's hard to fill Lois Maxwell's shoes. I still get nostalgic for the originals.

+margus kiis I liked Brosnan but the only decent script he had was GoldenEye.

+margus kiis I wish I'd been able to see all of the great '80s movies in theaters. I was born in '88, so I saw most of them on VHS later on. Luckily, I had older brothers that liked the right stuff. As a small child, I always considered the Dalton Bond movies to be almost scary.

I saw them on tv. 🤔

@@ricardocantoral7672 ABC used to have rights to Bond and have Bond Marathons but I don’t recall Daltons and Lazenbys being aired like the others.
