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 last opening t... 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.

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

"Timothy Dalton's last outing as Bond is an underrated gem. As an old friend is left for dead by an evil drug baron, Bond is stripped of his licence to kill and goes it alone to seek revenge, finding himself needing help from unlikely sources. This a Bond beyond its time which is why they decided to move on from Dalton, although this would have been a perfect film in the Daniel Craig years. The set pieces and stuntwork is, as usual, top-notch and Gladys Knight's theme song is one of the best."
