Licence to Kill is known as a dark, if not the darkest bond-film in the entire series.
Although it is a dark movie, it is a good bond movie.
It has the things you expect in a bond-film.
It may not have the magic you felt with the other Bond-films. (the thing where many fans complain about) That the film maybe misses, but the action, the girls, the locations, the villans, the excitement is still there.
It also is a strong story to make a good film of:
Bond's friend Felix Leither is badly hurt (in both a physical and emotional way) by the drug Lord Sanchez (Robert Davi in an excelent villan role). Bond wants revenge for his friend and goes after Sanchez, having to give up his licence to kill.
With strong characters, good action, great locations, and Timothy Dalton as a good hard-egd Bond, Licence to Kill is another great Bond-adventure to experience.

Many people look at Timothy Daltin and say that he was not right for the part, that he is the worst Bond in the series. I disagree, I think anybody who realy knows Bond, the book, and movies, would truly be able to see what Daltin brought to the series. IN my oppinion if you want to see the worse man to take on the series check out the Roger Moore movies that took a lot of respect out of the series with his Looney Toon antics. But I digress. In my oppinon Daltin is tha second best man to play Bond, underneath Connery of course. License to Kill is a great movie in the series.
Let's look at a few things here. Some people have complained about Bonds lack of motivation in this film, but that is simply not true, he has plenty of motiviation, just becaue Lieter was not the big hero in any of the movies does not mean that Bond did not appreciate his friendship. You don't have to save the world to become good friends. Another thing people said is that they can't believe he would leave the service for Lieter and not the death of his wife. Well concerning the death of his wife, that was an excuse to stay in the service since they were already hunting for him.
Now to take the offensive. The acting in this movie is great for a Bond film. Timothy Daltin adds a little bit more of a darker edge to Bond un duplicated by any other actor in the series. Thev villian was able to avoid that slow measured dull tone that many of the villians use in the earliar films, Like Dr. No, and Hugo Draz in Moonraker. Plus this film has a whole lot of Q and who does not love that character. The only problem in this movie is the girl, she's a little annoying and not that great to look at.
Onto the small problems. The dialogue can be a little repetitive and corny somtimes, like the kissing thing, "Now why don't you wait until you were asked" "then why don't you ask me". and the whole thing about sending the girl and Q home. He has the same little speache about working better alone like 15 times in the movie, leave it alone, we get it. Find a deffinitive moment to use it, use it once, then leave it alone.
That's about all. It is a great movie, one of my favorites after you finish the majority of the Connery movies.
THE GREAT ETNEBOB HAS SPOKEN

This is without a doubt, the worst bond film ever made. It's your run-of-the-mill 1980's obsessed with cocaine-sheik let's kill the drug lord film. This is NOT a Bond film, but rather a 2 hour headache. Timothy Dalton surpasses himself as the worst bond to date (a distinction he should have left to George Lazenby). If you are even thinking of buying this film, please have your head examined. If you want killer 1980's footage of south american jungle, check out 'The Preadator'. If you want Bond, buy Goldfinger.

Okay I know that this is Dalton's last entry but it didn't feel like a bond movie it felt like a action movie. I thought this movie was going to be better then the living daylights but I thought wrong the living daylights is better than this film because this movie doesn't feel like 007. We have this flim on DVD and its kind of boring and its too dark because of the part when 007 was fighting at the barrelhead bar now that fight didn't look or feel like a true bond flick. If you want a true 007 flick don't waste your money on this get the living daylights.

An ex-girlfriend told me once that Timothy Dalton is a sexier Bond that Pierce Brosnan. I wouldn't know. But I definitely find him more sophisticated that either Brosnan or Roger Moore for the simple fact that he makes Bond human. Dalton gives the character limitations and vulnerabilities, some not seen since 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service,' others not since the original Fleming novels. In 'Licence to Kill' he gives a good character portrayal for a good story.
'Licence to Kill' is darker and more serious than most 007's films and is probably why some stray away from it. But what it demonstrates is that with all the sinister villains Bond has faced over the years, he to can have a sinister side. In 'Licence to Kill' Bond's loyalty is not to England or the free world but to himself and his ego as he runs amok on a bloody vendetta. And the principal villain (Robert Davi) isn't interested in ruling the world but filling his pockets with drug money. The difference in motivations is a nice change after years of largely the same song. The level of action also goes farther than usual, but not too far. The editing job makes the film appear more violent than it really is.
The script is also more intelligent than usual, as the veteran cliches of sex, gadgets, and improbable stunts are toned down a bit to allow one to concentrate on the characters more, which are really the meat of the film. No other entry displays Bond quite like this. His brutality, cryptic expressions, and almost villainous posturing can make one cringe as he lowers himself to his opponents level with one thing in mind; killing him. Desmond Llewelyn's Q is given his biggest film role as he returns from the classic comic relief the character had become, now being more significant to the plot. Carey Lowell, one of two heroines, is a breach from the usual two-dimensional Bond girl. She's independent, can look out for herself, and looks good while doing it. The other (Talisa Soto) is a gold digger and a hopelessly naive one, (a tribute to the many women of the series like her I suppose). The combining of the two provides a unique twist to Bond's always hectic love life.
'Licence to Kill' is not a return to the style and times of the 60's Bond entries when spy-mania was at its height. Rather it's an example that sometimes, a breach in formula can bring new aspects to a series without destroying the ones on which it was created. Bottom line, if you enjoy a good action movie, this one can be watched relatively free of guilt.
