Excellent. Really is...
30 November 2008
Maybe i'm biased as this is my favourite Bond film.. but i truly believe this Film is a terrific move forward from the previous poor quality Moore films that had began to ruin the franchise.

Dalton is different. He is neither Moore, Connery, or Lazanby, he is his own. He is Ian Flemmings Bond, the one described in the books. He is a unique Bond and in some peoples eyes the best...yet unfortunately Dalton suffers with being forgotten due to the fact he made only 2 movies. However, i think with a bit more recognition he would have been renowned as one of the best if not the best Bond.

The Living Daylights is a brilliant move on and the start of a new era...despite a bad Moneypenny..and more changes that could have been made to the franchise to secure it being different to Moore's e.g continuing with the same M, and having the same director.. it still is a very good new start for the franchise.

The soundtrack is excellent, and has some brilliant scenes. The plane fight..is quite brilliant and the rooftop chase gives the viewer goosebumps.

The Living Daylights is a fitting tribute to Bond and just generally a joy to watch..i recommend that if you are to have any Bond DVD in your collection this should be as equally included as any other Bond.
