@@jogordon1530 I understand but i still thought she did a very good job and i liked her innocent ways - to each is on - everybody likes different types of people especially women - to me she was very attractive woman and she acted well and i feel that she paired very well with Timothy Dalton - The Living Daylights in general is just spectacular flawless all throughout no drag parts in the whole movie and i liked the song too and a nice lengthy movie. Everybody involved should feel so proud of the accomplishments of this classic movie that is how much i liked this movie and Timothy Dalton only doing 2 Bonds what a shame he should have done at least 6 more period....
Everyone goes on about connery and moore being the best bonds they was the first actors out there . Dalton is the best bond ever not only for acting like ian flemings books but he was the only bond with emotion and attitude he was fantasic as bond . He should have been bond though out the 80s after moonraker . He should have had more than 2 films such a shame
Agree with you! He is underrated and should have had more time in the spotlight. He was originally cast for GoldenEye but the producers and Dalton went another way. He brought the sense of Craigs bond nearly 20 years before Craig took the role. He was outstanding as Bond. I can easily rewatch these two films of his over and over.
He would have been perfect if (1) they hadn’t injected humor into his films and (2) they had found better actresses with better chemistry to match his type of Bond!
@@jogordon1530 I agree! Pam and Kara just didn't hit it off as the Bond women for Dalton. However I do think Pam was the better of the two. Heck, Lupe (Talisa Soto) I thought was amazing at the role despite her just being a smaller part of the film. The best chemistry would go to Moneypenny imo in TLD.
@@StormChaserZ Again, at that time which was in the 80s, they were trying to redo the entire franchise. Woman at that time, were supposed to be the highly educated women. We were not ready for the aggressive, fighting women that we have today. Kara was high educated as a cellist and Pam being able to fly a plane, and handle herself at the bar. However, again, she was not the type of person who handled that role correctly. You can’t stick Einstein into a movie and expect him to perform like John Wick. There was just no chemistry with Dalton and those two women.
License To Kill - my most favourite Bond film! There are countless stunts in the movie than in any other Bond film! Timothy Dalton, simultaneously - a ruthless and a suave Bond with a subtle smile! He should have done many more Bond films!
Odd thing is, while I consider License To Kill the better movie, I find I like The Living Daylights better. Why? John Barry’s music, of course. His final turn, but he went out with a bang.
Worst to play Bond. I also said the same about Daniel Craig. Difference is he persuaded me over time he was up there. Dalton failed to. Pierce following him was a vast improvement from a low bar.
@markc8956 ye but the thing they say was timothy daltons bond he was unrated. I grew up with pierce brosnan and I like him alot cause he made most of the video games. And made 4 bond movies only.
As a kid the first Bond I ever watched was Pierce Brosnan in Die Another Day and to this day he is still my favorite but there is something in Timothy Dalton's portrayal of Bond that always made me scared (in a good way) and intrigued.
Nice! I grew up with GoldenEye as my first but I found License to Kill as one of the darkest Bonds if not the darkest Bond film. The Living Daylights and License to Kill are super fun to watch and do so quiet often myself.
Yeah i think LTK was a dip into new tones with bond movies. It was the first pg13(not including cut/edited violent footage/scenes) bond movie too. But, im sorry, you just cant beat goldeneye. (and now im gonna go watche the opening sequence hahha)@@StormChaserZ
Timothy Dalton est le meilleur des James Bond, il effectuer lui même ses propres cascades, de plus ce rôle Luis allez comme un gant. Avec le temps, c'est vraiment regrettable qu'il n'est pas joué dans Goldeneye.
@Marc Mefret tout les acteurs James Bond ont fait leur propre cascades. Timothy Dalton est l'un des meilleurs James Bond mais Sean Connery et Roger Moore sont les meilleurs pour moi
The Original Bond - Sean Connery The Forgotten Bond - George Lazenby The Successor Bond - Roger Moore The Dark Action/Thriller Bond - Timothy Dalton The 90s/2000s Bond - Pierce Brosnan The Modern Bond - Daniel Craig
The only real James Bond, the one from the novels. Not a cartoon character written for 13 year old boys. Ian Fleming famously said that he was disturbed that younger people were reading his books because they were written for adults. Dalton was the adult James Bond. You can be suave and sophisticated without being juvenile and sadly, that's what the next guy gave us. When I became aware of James Bond, Goldeneye had just come out so Brosnan was "my Bond." I'd just seen all the other ones and read the novellas and he was always my least favourite. Between the sniper scene, busting the balloon and the scene at the hotel with John Rhys Davies, that's what I want to see in an adult spy thriller. Don't these kids have enough movies to watch? They have both comic book universes in all their CGI glory. The Dalton films were shot for real with stunts and while License to Kill was too American for me, Timothy was the most Bondian of the bunch.
He was a different kind of bond , I’m not a massive fan of his bond tbh. He’s a great actor though and did bring a slightly dark side to the character, I’m doing a new bond deep dive this weekend , I’ve only seen daltons bond movies a few times, I need to see again. As I remember daltons bond was actually a bit more intense and the movie was rated 15 at the time., it’s worth a new watch for me.
Defintely darker toned and much more relevant to Ian Fleming's version of James Bond. Hopefully a rewatching deep dive will give you some better insights here and there into Dalton's Bond. Hes my second favorite to play the role.
"Why didnt you learn the violin?!" :) I get more frustrated when I think there should have been at least 3 more entries in Daltons tenure! I feel robbed!!
in my opinion though the Rodger Moore era was too jokeyTimothy Dalton hit all the right notes I thought he should have been James Bond when I saw him in Flash Gordon
Every actor brought something memorable and great to the role. I have always been a fan of each one however I personally enjoy Brosnan the best. Dalton is my second favorite.
Forgot TD idd a 2nd Bond film besides Lisenced To Kill....heh.....'...riding the Cello case down a slippery slope...' HEHE\\ Whoès brilliant idea was thatÉÉÉ At least it was better than LTK. :)) Had a few Bond gadgets.....What happened to the Bond franchise...ÉÉÉ Might as well have ended it after Moore did his lat one.....
I loved Dalton's two movies, but I loathe what Bond has become. Goldeneye, for me marked the end of Bond, and to me Craig isn't even on the list. Too brutish, and he's not even good looking.
Not my favorite Bond, but not bad. At least he looked the role and had a personality...unlike Roger Moore, a first-rate second-rate actor who ran like a girl and had the charisma of a dried cuttlefish.
James Bond échappe à un tir de char russe en Aston Martin...la classe...fait du ski nautique derrière un hydravion...vire les pilotes et prend les commandes de l'avion....et bien sûr l'inoubliable scène des camions citernes...
You should had put both complete movies lol. But honestly, he’s my favorite bond and all people who wants to see where Craig got his bond has to see Dalton first.
The trinity of the best Bond holds for me as Connery, Moore, and Dalton, all three were the book character with their own take. Connery was excellent at being the dark but cool Bond, Moore the humorous, well emotive, and still excelling at the dark scenes, and Dalton the best book Bond, all three were the Bond in their own direction, deviating from the books tailored to each man's acting style.
The first half of The Living Daylight is a masterpiece, the other half is still good, it's just percieved as bad because the first half is too good! Though the last boss fight was a bit head scratching
@@rikardandersson5582 It is expected that the last half of a movie have the best action scenes and it did deliver that with the plane, but the plot and story struggled to have a solid build up from that amazing first part and it's mostly because of the villains being badly written so it kind of flatlined, while the action scenes is what kept it linear.
@@jogordon1530 I think he was quite charming with Klara, like natural charming and not playboy charming. Trust me, women love Dalton In the living Daylights, try that Roger Moore stuff and they see you as a creep. It's the type of charm that works on TV but in real life no, even Roger Moore are quite different in real life, more natural. The other girls, the charm fell short because they tried to shoehorn in a charm in a revenge mission but taking the girl to a Orchestra, buying her a dress, give her a good time, carneval etc, he is not just a "Bad Boy (Which women love) but he showed a playfulside of himself AND a caring and protective side, what women like..... the second movie, with one bad actor and the other was weirdly written it was flat the entire way. They should have taken the elements from Goldeneye, where Natalia comforted Bond, and play the romance of that, after all he was on a revenge mission, he is hurt. If a Man is charming is essentially a decided by the reaction of women, if men look for charm in a man, first of all that is a "little bit gay" and make sure it's actually real, so that if you look for inspiration, that you ain't disilusioned.
Dalton was probably the best bond, he should have gotten more than two films. TLD is my favorite Bond movie, and LTK is not too far behind. He was way ahead of his time and deserved better.
I absolutely loved Dalton in The Living Daylights but hated License to Kill. I believe he would have been a better Bond if he had made it to the third film. He didn’t have enough screen time to develop himself as Bond.
He was an amazing Bond, I agree. Fun fact he was originally planned to star in another movie before Goldeneye but the producers went another route after he turned down a third role.
@@StormChaserZ Dalton decided after the hiatus of films due to legal ligation preventing Bond films being produced for 5 years, Dalton by the time Goldeneye was greenlit he was ready to move on from the series and didn’t want to commit to a multi picture deal at that point when was 48 years old by then. Dalton announced he was leaving the role in 1994 when started filming miniseries Scarlett.
