Exciting, audacious Bond-buster

"Effective immediately, your licence to kill is revoked, and I require you to hand over your weapon."

Released in 1989, Licence to Kill denoted the end of the "classic Bond" era. Not only was this the last Bond-buster actively produced by the legendary Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli, but it was also the last Bond film directed by series regular John Glen, and it features the franchise's... read more

Even though I had seen most of the installments starring Sean Connery and a few starring Roger Moore, when I was a kid, I was rather oblivious concerning Timothy Dalton tenure as James Bond. Anyway, 20 years later, I thought it was time to watch his flicks. Personally, I think they made a nice try with him to make the franchise a little darker than it was. Eventually, it was too soon, the audience... read more

Of all the Bond films, Licence To Kill is probably the most controversial of all. It is probably best described as the marmite of the Bond films. You either love it or pretty much hate it. For some, it brought the series back to the true James Bond of the books. For others, the dark intensity of the film made it seem not in the spirit of cinematic Bond like the films of Roger Moore.

Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"The Bond women are pallid mannequins, and so is the misused Dalton -- a moving target in a Savile Row suit. For every plausible reason, he looks as bored in his second Bond film as Sean Connery did in his sixth. - Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine Mr. Dalton is perfectly at home as an angry Bond, and as a romantic lead and as an action hero, but he never seems to blend any two of those qualities at once. - Caryn James, New York Times Dalton plays a straight-faced, humorless, no-nonsense Bond --"

" The Ups: 007 doing a better "Miami Vice" movie than Michael Mann ever did 20 years later. It is one dark movie, but a good one at that. Great action. Great villains (Robert Davi, Everett McGill and Benicio del Toro) that leave their mark. The Downs: A tiny bit overlong, but it is a superior actioner that goes down and dirty in the mud for once. The biggest problem though, why the hell doesn't Bond give comfort sex to Talisa Soto?"

Anyway, 20 years later, I thought it was time to watch his flicks. Personally, I think they made a nice try with him to make the franchise a little darker than it was. Eventually, it was too soon, the audience was just not ready, especially following the fluffiness provided by Roger Moore’ s installments. Furthermore, the makers didn’t really dare to make it too violent or too realistic but this Bond was definitely a precursor to the one portrayed by Daniel Craig 20 years later. Timothy Dalton has been praised as being the closest representation to what Ian Fleming meant with James Bond and also cr” read more
