I can't lie. I really wish they gave Dalton more movies. He really tried to follow, quite literally by the book, what Fleming created. A dark and non campy Bond was ahead of it's time. A kind of Bond that wouldn't become popular until Craig took the helm. - @Sunday, August 6, 2017 8:26 AM

The name that means excitement, is back! Bond! James Bond! Wherever he goes, adventure follows! He lives for danger! He lives for the moment! He lives on the edge! James Bond 007! "The Living Daylights"! - @Thursday, December 8, 2016 11:57 PM

Timothy Dalton's portrayal of James Bond is underrated. "The Living Daylights" and "License to Kill" are some of the better James Bond films out there. - @Wednesday, December 7, 2016 3:19 PM

My dream is for this generation to acknowledge Timothy Dalton was a great James Bond and the obvious precursor to Daniel Craig's Bond! I still insist like I did back in the 90s that Dalton got a raw deal and two things; one, it wasn't time for Bond to return to theatres even though I'm pretty sure this film made money but Licence To Kill faired worse! Second; Pierce Brosnan was on everyone's brain at the tail end of the nineties so by ninety six they gave him major box office when he finally could take the role! Brosnan was a kind of funnier bond in the vain of Roger Moore and at the time the world was in slighty better shape or appeared to be, especially economy wise! I would love after seeing his work in Penny Dreadful , also demonstrated by the fact that he was up for the role of Alfred in BVS, sans the movies quality, he could return to the role of 007 called back for one last mission! He is still in good enough condition to take on the aging Bond role like Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again but much more dignified! But alas, with the current state and attitudes of movie studios today as well as Superhero mania how would you get the project greenlit? Thoughts? - @Wednesday, June 8, 2016 3:14 AM

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BOND FILMS. AND TIMOTHY DALTON IS ONE OF THE BEST BOND ACTORS WHO DID FULL JUSTICE TO THE ROLE WITH HIS RAZOR-SHARP FEATURES AND COOL DEMEANOR. HE WAS THE FAST AND QUICK-WITTED BOND OF THE EIGHTIES. THE DAZZLING EIGHTIES NEEDED A NEW BOND AND DALTON WAS THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR THE ROLE. - @Friday, September 11, 2015 12:48 PM

I love how Dalton played a Bond who was ruthless when getting the job done, but you could sense he had a heart as well unlike Craig who always seems distant and cold the entire film. - @Sunday, March 29, 2015 4:55 PM
