The first thing that struck me about this film is that Timothy Dalton could act and he took the part very seriously. I found THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS to be one of the better James Bond films. I think it is the best since ON HER MAJESTY's SECRET SERVICE. I really liked Timothy Dalton as James Bond, the James Bond he gave us in this film (THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS). He was not the hard edged civil servant but more of a thinking man's blunt instrument as he demonstrated his reluctance to get the job done "their" way as opposed to "his" way.
John Barry delivered his last 007 score and it is one of his best. I also enjoyed a-ha's rich and lyrical theme song played over Maurice Binder's main titles, which are very reflective. The music video and the making of the video are on this DVD. This was also the last Bond film made during the actual cold war. We see a much more intelligent British agent discern that the KGB is not made up of a bunch of hoodlums but instead it is actually headed by an equally intelligent counterpart to "M" and the like. The dark yet richly colored photography and locations bring back much of the feel of the earlier Bond films.
Timothy Dalton deserved to be around much longer as James Bond based on his work in this film.

No wonder the franchise died out a bit in the 80s. This movie was absolutely horrible. It was literally painful to listen to the dialog in this movie; The actors could barely carry the terrible plot; all the class of a bond movie was replace with gaudy 80s pop culture. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this film and had to immediately rewatch "From Russia with Love" as to not loose respect for the series.

I love this movie, Dalton fits so well as 007, that's why hard core James Bond fans considered this one as their favorite. This is difinitely the dark side of James Bond. And of course the bond girl is very beautiful sometimes she looks like Nastassja Kinski from the movie Paris Texas. Accdg. to the novel James Bond drinks and smokes , and this one you often see James smoking and has a fine taste for wines. Thats why accdg. to Desmond Llewelyn(famous for the character Q) he felt that Timothy Dalton's performance was the closest to the way Bond was portrayed in the original novels. And the villains, was so cool, esp. the one who plays Necros(Andreas Wisniewski) his skills are equal to agent 007, he's a professional killer opposite to Bond, now James has to meet an enemy which is equal to him which is great, man their fight scenes on the airplane was so intense.
Overall its very realistic, romantic and has an excellent cinematography and I love the way James Bond shows his human emotion esp. when his comrade was killed by Necros.

"The Living Daylights" is actor Timothy Dalton's first outing as the British super spy. He replaced Roger Moore, whom I regretfully have never seen in a Bond film. Actually, I've only seen 3 Bond films prior to this one.
(Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, and Diamonds are Forever). One thing most Bond fans agree on is that Sean Connery was the best James Bond.
I'd say that's accurate, but Dalton's approach to the character is far different from what we've previously seen. James Bond is, overall, an under developed character. He's a super-spy who loves martinis and women. In the films I've seen, James Bond is given no back story and shows little human emotion. Don't get me wrong, in this film there's no back-story either...But there is a little emotion. Anyway, the film has a great opening sequence; But, as usual, this sequence has little to do with the rest of the plot. It's merely used to get the audiences pumped for the rest of the story. The story involves Bond being hired as a sniper to protect a Russian officer named Georgi Koskov. Koskov is afraid that he is being targeted by a sniper; Bonds orders are to shoot any sniper he sees that poses a threat to Koskov. Well, Bond does see a sniper. Only the sniper is in the form a beautiful cellist named Kara (Maryam d'Abo, a really hot Bond girl). Making a last minute decision, Bond opts not to kill Kara and instead just wounds her. He then transports Koskov to a remote hiding spot. Koskov is then abducted from his hiding place and it's up to Bond to find him. As he does, with Kara's help of course, he uncovers a semi-complex weapons scheme. The plot is really nothing special, overall, but back to Dalton. In the previous Bond films, Bond usually woos a Bond girl and beds her. In this film, Bond seems to fall in love with her. Of course, there's no exchange of "I Love You" here; But the romance is a little different. The action sequences are good and the art direction is fantastic. It's nice to Bond in a normal place, like a fair. The scene where Bond and Kara have to escape from an Afghanistan prison is exciting. The film does have it's spot where it lags, but this is a worthy entry in the series. Hell, it's just nice to see a different side of James Bond. Another thing this film does is show a little more skin then you're used too. All the other Bond films use mere sexual innuendo; In this film, you actually side-nipple.
GRADE: B+

Where can I start? What is it with them picking out a person to play bond where they are in their 40s or almost 50s? Can't they ever get someone who is at least in their late 20s or mid 30s? At least Connery was 32 years old when he stared in Dr. No! Anyway, Dalton was a little to series and seem like he was not having fun with the role and he only sleeps with one bond girl and doesn't get any till the end of the movie? ALso, Marayam D'abo did not have any type of sex appeal! It looks like she was bored with the role! What just happened? I really think that Ian Fleming would have turned over in his grave if he seen this film! The action was ok, locations excellent, but just lacked the Ian Fleming genre!
