This is one of the better Bond's with all the ingredients in place, a great villain and henchman a beautiful and tough Bond girl in Carey Lowell and some great fight sequences. This was the last Bond for a while due to legal problems

This is one of my favorite 007 films! It's different, unique and really takes Bond in a new direction never seen before. This is the one that made Dalton's Bond his own. Bond has to rely on his own ingenuity and his insticts as a secret agent but at the same fight those on his own side! A totally recommended film.

You know what grinds my gears? Really HORRIBLE movies in the James Bond franchise. Timothy Dalton was the LEAST LIKABLE actor for the role of 007. The man is a decent actor, but a spoiled sack of potatoes would have played the role better. The movie had some of the worst dialogue and plot ever written, and some pretty horrible cinematography for a film with such a high budget. The director, writers, and producers should've been sent to time out for this movie ever being brought into existence. My two cents.
