Summary: The best 007 film.
Review: This movie is simply the best James Bond movie ever released. The movie doesn't rely on action sequences to make it interesting. Rather, the story of 007 going AWOL grabs one's attention. Don't misunderstand. Licence to Kill features some of the best action one can kind in the 007 series.
A shame that Dalton made only 2 films. The 007 franchise has become a deplorable mess with Brosnan and company doing their best to ruin it. The films after Licence to Kill have been of poor quality and Brosnan has yet to even seem like he's James Bond. The sooner he is removed, the better. Buy Licence to Kill, or you will regret it.

Summary: "Grand stunts, but all to violent Bond outing..."
Review: Dalton returns as Bond seeks revenge on drug dealer who mamed friend Felix Leiter. Grand stunts, but all too violent Bond outing lacks the wit and style that Bond is best known for. Lowell makes for a sexy and formidable companion, and Davi is great as the slick Sanchez, as is Benicio Del Toro as henchman Dario.
Rating: 
Summary: Should Never Have Been Produced
Review: This movie is horrible. The actor, Timothy Dalton, seems ticked off, cold, and standoffish. Especially The movie itself is unnecessarily gruesome and cruel. So much violence and gory tortures are unnecessary, uncalled-for, and should not be on TV. We don't need to see people eaten alive by sharks, blown up from the inside because they're locked up inside a pressure tank, or ground to death by a human shredder. This movie is just brutal.

Summary: License Revoked
Review: In this film, 007's best friend Felix Leiter gets brutally mangled by Franz Sanchez, the most evil villain in this series!! 007 starts the movie at Felix's wedding, and Sanchez escapes! He runs off and cripples Leiter and kills his wife. 007 goes out for revenge, but M will not allow it. He revokes Bond's License To Kill, so he is on his own. Q manages to help though, he supplies 007 with Detonide Toothpaste, the latest in plastic explosives, and a gun inside his camera. Bond manages to befriend Sanchez, so he doesn't know what's coming! The Bond women in this film include a pilot, Pam Bouvier, and Sanchez's girlfriend. You should watch this movie ONLY if you are a Bond fan first!

Summary: Angry Bond!
Review: This rates as one of the best Bond films ever!Timothy Dalton was seriously underrated in the role,when in my opinion he is in the top 2!
This film differs to all other films in that Bond sets out on his own against a drug lord who murdered his friends wife!Dalton fits the role perfectly,portraying an extremely angry Bond!
One let down here is there isn't a Bond car!Although the storyline more than makes up for this.Supporting cast are ok,but Dalton definately steals the show.If you don't have this,buy it now!And watch the "making of" film,look out for the mysterious picture of the firey hand!Spooky!

Summary: A good Bond film
Review: Liscence to Kill is a pretty good Bond film. It is Timothy Dalton's last apperance, and he does a pretty good job. The acting is great, and the movie had a lot of action and was less talky, which is something I enjoyed. The only thing I didn't like about it is that Bond went AWOL.

Summary: Dalton Is The Man
Review: Many other reviewers have given detailed overviews and underviews and analyses of this film and the Bond series in general and they are nearly all more interesting to me than most of the 007 films. However, when Timothy Dalton came along, I finally enjoyed a Bond film, and License To Kill is the best of his two in my view. I truly regret that Dalton made only the two because he made Bond an electric, dangerous, extremely sexy character and not just the corny cartoonish figure the others portrayed. This movie has three of the sexiest men around in parts that suit them extremely well--Dalton, of course, and Robert Davi and Benicio del Toro as baddies. If you want a Bond film with some real meat, see this one.
Rating:
Summary: Great change of pace for the series
Review: Robert Davi is one of the best villians in the series, the plot is well thought out and makes perfect sense for once, Dalton is convincing and the last 30 minutes are truly fantastic. Don't expect the usual globe-hopping and sophistication though, this is a gritty (often nasty) little flick. Q has his most involved role and whether you like it or not the action and stunt work is very imaginative and exciting. The big problem is the Mexican setting. Very drab.

Summary: Dalton-- quite the charmer.
Review: I enjoyed this movie 100x more than "Living Daylights". "License to Kill" was entertaining and had a great story, with some SMART Bond ladies, unlike "Living Daylights" (yet A-ha had an awesome theme song for former movie!) I liked the style in which Timothy Dalton portrays Bond in "License 2 Kill". I liked his "no-nonsense" attitude, not to mention his being so easy on the eyes, nor failing to mention that magnetic charm he naturally exudes so effortlessly, and his voice which could make any woman's heart melt. All these ingredients lead to one respectable and appealing Bond! I liked the "human" aspect he gave to Bond. I wish he could have done others. But, in reality, his talents and full potential are not shown off as much here as they are in a more "talking" role, such as "Jane Erye" (BBC miniseries) and the role he undertook in the Black, offbeat, comedy "Hawks". These said roles show off the brilliance of one Timothy Dalton.

Summary: A great Bond film... Underrated.
Review: When I saw The Living Daylights in 1987, I was absolutely mesmerized. Timothy Dalton became my favorite James Bond, next to Sean Connery of course, and I wanted to see Dalton back as Bond. Sure enough, in 1989, Albert R. Broccoli presented the 16th official James Bond film, Licence to Kill and brought Dalton back for one more outing as 007. This movie is the most controversial Bond film of all time due to its violence and mature plot. Non-Bond fans who just go to see these films as casual viewers, hated this film. Die-hard fans loved it. I loved this film because it finally escaped from the fantasy element of Bond and gave us a real storyline. Thanks to the writing talents of Michael G. Wilson and Richard Maibaum, in their last collaboration together, the movie was exciting, gritty, sad, and true to the classic incarnation of Ian Fleming's James Bond 007. Sadly, this was the last Albert R. Broccoli produced Bond film. In 1995, he served as Executive Producer on GoldenEye, produced by Barbara Broccoli, his daughter, and Michael G. Wilson, his stepson. This DVD looks great and it is nice to see the film in all of it's Widescreen glory. The special features are also amazing as well.
