Glafira Regina O I enjoyed the film. The acting was excellent, the plot logical and engaging. The locations were chosen perfectly, and I much preferred the British version of Bond over the American one. Moreover, the older Bond seemed more fitting as a secret agent compared to the newer iterations. However, there are still a few drawbacks. - Soundtrack: While fitting for spy films of the 80s, the music sounds a bit dated today. - Accent: The background actors speak Russian fluently, but General Pushkin, played by John Rhys-Davies, has a noticeable accent when speaking Russian. However, his English features impeccable British pronunciation, which is a delight. - Special Effects: Although the film doesn't rely heavily on effects, I believe adding "fantastical" weaponry invented in secret labs solely for Bond detracts from the story's realism. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Gerald H While Dalton gives a very good Bond, the whole movie is very very mediocre, horrendous title-song included. Plus: I think that the Bondgirl playing cello is one the most unfeeling things I‘ve seen in my life. Maybe better play a lumberjack. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Joshua M In my top five Bond Films even though I don't like it as much as license to kill it is an amazing movie done well amazing action sequences, cinematography and geographic locations. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Tom F A watchable artifact of the late Cold War years, part of the stretch when they were struggling to figure out what James Bond was for. Timothy Dalton was one of the better Bonds. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review nick s Timothy Daltan was convincing as a serious Bond. Unfortunately he was let down by the rest of the production. The floundering plot was absurd and could only exist in the mind of a teenager. The gadgets were over the top and drew too much attention to themselves. The chase scenes were silly, bordering on Jar Jar Binks ludicrous. The ooh-er jokes were yawn inducing. The opposing gunmen couldn't hit the side of a barn. The support actors were not up to par and some of the minor actors were distractingly wooden. All up a weakly directed entry dragging down the franchise. Poor old Timothy didn't have much to work with. He elevated the movie far more than it deserved. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Joshua H This is the oldest James Bond film I've seen yet and as someone who's not a Bond Fan (although I by no means dislike it) this definitely passed the time, and the action scenes were a lot of fun (although it felt like it had more endings then the end of Lord of the Rings 😂). So although I'd probably wouldn't watch it again but it defeintly passed the time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
