This has to be one of the best James Bond movies, up there with Goldfinger, and Man With The Golden Gun. It is also the last for which John Barry wrote the sound track. It is also the only James Bond movie which has two main songs, the title song "The Living Daylights", and the song ending the movie "If There Was A Man". For those of you who don't know, the scene at the end of the movie with Kara playing in the symphony, has John Barry as the conductor. Timothy Dalton plays a great James Bond, with a tough and gritty character similar to Sean Connery in the early Bond movies. Maryam D'Abo plays a great Bond girl, although she doesn't get her bedroom scene with Bond. Her character is presented as a contradiction of both innocence and toughness. Beautiful scenery of Vienna, Morroco, and Italy can be seen throughout the movie and fits well with the plot.

James Bond may be the worst series of movies ever produced. My brother bought this movie while I was logged in. The producers of these so called films have cranked out around 20 of these 2 hour pieces of crap. I suggest to annyone who has not been pleased with other 007 movies will not enjoy this one either. The plots are the same the only diferance between them is the scenery and actors.

Two years after Roger Moore's swansong, Timothy Dalton, possessing Sean Connery's bravado and cutthroat attitude, made his Bond debut in 1987's The Living Daylights. In only one try, Dalton hit his stride as the quintessential English gentleman secret agent with a license to kill and he had displayed tremendous potential to be a staple like Connery and Moore. Sadly, Dalton became a short-timer like George Lazenby when he simply stepped down and Brosnan had taken the torch and hasn't let go ever since. However, Dalton makes the most of his tenure in The Living Daylights, making this particular energetic Bond flick as one of the best, yet most underrated 80's Bond movie.
The plot has some twists and turns and excellently written and excellently executed. After a riveting, no-holds-barred opening sequence where his fellow double agents were murdered, Bond sets out to free a KGB officer, General Georgi Koskov (Jeroen Krabbe), a defector who unravels a top-secret Soviet plot called Operation Smiert Spionem, of whom his superior General Leonid Puskin (John Rhys-Davies) had devised. Koskov is abducted, but it turns out to be nothing but a doublecross, as it turns out he is aligned with an American arms dealer, Brad Whitaker, who wants in on Smiert Spionem, to eliminate all enemy spies including 007. Hot on their trail, Bond tags along with Koskov's Slovakian cellist girlfriend, Kara Milovy (Maryam D'Abo from TV sitcom, The Wonder Years) and together, they unravel a sophisticated weapons plot.
The Living Daylights is a strong, bold entry in the Bond series. The only true weak points are the two villains, Koskov and Whitaker. However, this film revolves around Dalton and his superb performance more than makes up for it. Dalton is true to form of to the Bond of the Ian Fleming novels, as he is uncompromising, bold, serious, ruthless and he shows a darker side to Bond, more so than Connery ever could. As professional and instinctive as he plays himself out to be, Dalton shows his softer, romantic side, paired up with Kara Milovy. Speaking of which, Maryam D'Abo is a refreshing Bond girl as well, as she does not display the toughness and or independence previous Bond girls have and in that regard, she's somewhat of an antithesis to the typical Bond girl. D'Abo, nonetheless turns in the strongest acting performance of a Bond girl. As for the storyline, it is sensible, but sophisticated and you could say the oversophistication of the plot is a flaw to the flick. But the first-rate pulse-pounding action supports the well-thought script. Noteworthy sequences are the botched Gibraltar training pre-title scene, the Austrian ski chase, and the Afghan desert battle. All in all, The Living Daylights stands out as Dalton's moment in the sun.

The best bond movie ever. The script, action, and villains are all excellent. Richard Maibaum's best script since ON her majesty's secret service. Timothy Dalton is an amazing actor, and the scene in the Prater amusement park is very well directed by John Glen. The locations are great, they include the rock of Gibraltar, Afghanistan, London, and the very beautiful Vienna. Maryam D'Abo isn't the best bond girl, but one flaw will not change my opinion. Better than From Russia with love,Goldfinger, and For your eyes only. Stays true to Ian fleming's original short story. Theme song is good and John Barry's score is one of his best. Picture quality on the dvd is amazing. Unbelievable how they went from a great movie like this to a horrible one like Licence to kill. This is the last bond movie that come out that was really good. I'm not sure there will ever be another good bond movie, let alone better than THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS.
Opening scene is excellent.Dalton is the most serious bond, the way he should be. BROSNAN never came close to being half as good as Timothy Dalton. All actors in this movie are excellent, and take their roles very seriously, not like previous Moore entries

I hated Dalton in license to kill but he was great in the living daylights. He seems exactly like flemmings bond. It goes to show you that reading the books before you make a movie is good. The plot is fine and the villians were so so but the action is cool.
Pros-Great action, good theme song, and good acting by dalton
Cons-lame villians, really lame villians
