Summary: Good film.
Review: This is a great Bond movie. Timothy Dalton is awesome as 007 and the rest of the cast is pretty good. It has the coolest climax of all the Bond movies and one of the best car chases. And to answer the other reviewers question, the dvd version comes out Fall 2000, along with From Russia With Love, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, Octopussy and A View To A Kill. I can't wait for that either. Anyway, this is a must have for any Bond fan.

Summary: Dalton shines in spy stunner.
Review: The Dalton era of Bond was recieved very indifferently and there are many contrasting reviews. In The Living Daylights Dalton brings emotion, sensitivity and believability to Bond. This is a Bond with a concience. Kara Milovy, superbly played by Maryam D'Abo, gives perhaps the best performance by a Bond girl in a film to date, and the villans are all too believable. This is a film that relys on a strong cast and a good script, and not just a trail of hi-tec effects and looks (Pierce Brosnan take note! ). Timothy Dalton is perhaps the strongest actor to play Bond to date, and a great loss to the series. The D'abo/Dalton pairing is a masterpiece of casting, perhaps the strongest Bond Film yet.

Summary: The old bond is back!
Review: Timothy Dalton should still be James Bond! Brosnan just does not have the edge that a Bond should have. Sean Connery had it and Dalton is as close to that style of Bond as we have seen. Roger Moore was fine as the Saint but should have left after his first Bond flick. Dalton's character stands up to scrutiny even if you take away the F/X. I tried to watch one of the new Bonds and just couldn't do it. It is just unfortunate that he was only around for 2 movies! If you like the early ones then this is for you. I am hoping for a DVD release soon.

Summary: A New Bond in a Good Film
Review: Timothy Dalton's first experience as James Bond is indeed a winner. He brings the requisite suavity and athleticism to the role, but adds a new layer of compassion; his caring and care for Kara Milovy (played with artistry by Maryam d'Abo) go beyond anything allowed his august predecessors in the role. The villainous general played by Jeroen Krabbe (later appearing so villainously in THE FUGITIVE) is a worthy foe.The action is set in eastern Europe before the crash of communism. It is hot and heavy. All in all, a worthy film.

Summary: Dalton excels as bond!
Review: Handsome, rugged, believeable. Dalton is what Bond was ment to be. Great story. Also music score is great. Pierce Bronson is a whimp! Don't be a poser. Buy this.

Summary: "ONE OF THE BEST BOND FILMS EVER!"
Review: If you like action and excitement then this is the movie for you. Plenty of explosions with good sound effects. Timothy Dalton does a really good job of playing the role of James Bond because of his slick attitude. You have to see this movie!

Summary: UNDER-RATED BOND BLOCKBUSTER
Review: In 1987, a new James Bond was introduced in the guise of accomplished Shakespearean actor Timothy Dalton, following fifteen years of the popular Roger Moore. The vacant part of the ever-smooth superspy had originally been offered to the present Bond, Pierce Brosnan, but he could not free himself from his television contract at the time. Dalton's arrival was greeted with mixed reviews. Accusations of over-seriousness and dullness may be open to debate, but one point is certain - Dalton injected an element of danger into a character which had become predictable and stupid. After years of the pantomine of Roger Moore, Bond had become a cold assassin once again. The complex plot involves Bond assisting the defection of prominent KGB officer General Georgi Koskov (Jereon Krabbe), but he is kidnapped by an arms group. Bond who believes that Koskov's original defection was just an act, seeks out Koskov's girlfriend Kara Milovy (Maryam D'Abo) to retrieve more information. The performances are excellent especially from Dalton, D'Abo and Andreas Wisniewski (as the killer Necros). Although the movie does not run smoothly from scene to scene, it is full of good moments and has a 'Lawrence of Arabia' feel to it. All this and the great action sequences make this movie the best Bond flick for seventeen years.

Summary: One of the best in the series
Review: Along with From Russia With Love and For Your Eyes Only, the Living Daylights is one of the best non-comic book Bond films. Aimed at adults, the twisting plot consists of Bond helping a Russian General defect, and then learning that this Russian General is working with an arms dealer to supply guns to Afghanistan. Dalton is fine as Bond, but still can't match the " personality " both Connery and Moore gave to Bond. The great action sequences and good performance by Maryam d'Abo make this a winner. A great title song by A-HA only adds to the whole package. After a travesty like A View To A Kill, this film helped remind me why I love Bond.
