Reviews for The Living Daylights
...ultimately comes off as one of the most ineffective and flat-out dull entries within the ongoing series.
10/16/08
After the fizzle of the later Roger Moore Bonds, The Living Daylights brings in a new 007 in Timothy Dalton, who manages the Connery trick of seeming suave and tough at the same time.
10/13/08
With its weak plotting and distinterested performances, this is a misfire on nearly every level.
10/13/08
Expect the expected.

Top CriticDalton is an engaging Bond, d'Abo is coolly alluring, and Krabbe is the epitome of the double-dealing spy master.
10/13/08
Timothy Dalton, the fourth Bond, registers beautifully on all key counts of charm, machismo, sensitivity and technique.
10/13/08
Top CriticThis Bond is as fast on his feet as with his wits; an ironic scowl creases his face; he's battle ready yet war-weary.
10/13/08
Top CriticA very weak entry
02/10/08
The casting of Timothy Dalton as James Bond in this 15th entry into the adventures of 007 is widely considered a classic mistake: Dalton isn't suave like Sean Connery or even Roger Moore.

Confused plot and digressive globe trotting notwithstanding, the best Bond in years.

I'm one of the few people who really liked Timothy Dalton as James Bond.
