Roger Moore's last outing as Bond at 57!!!
Advantages: Great fast paced action
Disadvantages: Moore too old, too much killing
...003's corpse, Bond picks up a microchip which is an exact replica of one manufactured by Zorin Industries, owned by the eccentric businessman, Max Zorin. Bond goes undercover to meet Zorin and finds out that he is producing a revolutionary microchip, and that in order to conquer the microchip market, he is planning to destroy Silicon Valley through a series of earthquakes. Bond must team up with oil company owner Stacey Sutton to take on Zorin, his ...
...ease.
Patrick Macnee gives a good turn as a very British horse trainer, Sir Godfrey Tibbett, and Tanya Roberts is good as Bond girl Stacey Sutton, as is Fiona Fullerton as Pola Ivanova. David Yip has a cameo performance. Robert Brown, Desmond Llewelyn and Lois Maxwell return as M, Q and Miss Moneypenny, and the rest of the cast support admirably.
My Opinion
The soundtrack to this Bond ilm haunts me, probably due to the title track, performed by ...

This might disagree with some people
Advantages: Plenty of action
Disadvantages: Might be too much don't look scenes for some people
This is one of my favourite Bond films and was the first Bond film I ever bought! I think Timothy Dalton was great in it as the rogue agent, although its not everyone's favourite film becuase its more violent than any Bond film as its shows a head explode and man set on fire and also a man that get eaten by a shark. The poor thing about it is the lack of eye candy. The girls aren't exactly Bonds finest! Theres some good music to accomply this but ...
...include the pre title sequence where they chase after a drug barron on the morning of Felix Leiters wedding, under water scenes, casino scenes and the finale I think is great! With just lots of explosions and action. With this being an Ultimate edition it also has lots of bonus material A great action/Bond film! ...

A change in Bond.........
Advantages: Decent action and beautiful scenery
Disadvantages: Confusing plot, some dull and dreary acting
The 15th Bond film to be made saw a change in the lead role, with Roger Moore hanging up his boots as the smooth MI6 agent James Bond, and Timothy Dalton taking up the role, for what was to be the first of only two outings for him as Bond.
The Plot
Bond is sent to ensure the safe passage of Koskov, a KGB defector from Austria to England, where he realises that Russian KGB General Pushkin has reinstated the Russian policy of 'smert' spionam', meaning ...
...deeper, is going on.
The Cast and Performances
Timothy Dalton does not really cement his first film as Bond, and although he certainly looks the part, there is something of the charm or suave exterior we have been used to from Connery and Moore, and even Lazenby. Dalton's Bond is much more hard-hitting, run of the mill agent than the smooth talking ladies man with a mean streak.
Maryam d'Abo is very sexy as Russian agent Kara, but her acting leaves ...

Bond quits and shows his true grit!
Advantages: Dalton is refreshing as Bond
Disadvantages: Special effects - not traditional Bond
...run as Bond in 1989's Licence to Kill. His portrayal of Bond here is much darker and personal than other Bond films.
The Plot
Following the capture of international drug lord Franz Sanchez on the same day as the wedding of his CIA friend Felix Leiter, James Bond returns to find Sanchez has escaped and has exacted his revenge on Leiter. In a moment of wild anger, Bond resigns his status as a 00 agent, and escapes the custody of his superiors. He ...
...revenge for Leiter and to put the drug lord where he belongs.
The Cast and Performances
Timothy Dalton is refreshing as Bond - much more humane and personal than his predecessors Sean Connery, George Lazenby and Roger Moore, who relied more on charm and tongue in cheek comments to boost their charismatic nature. Dalton brings out Bond's anger and personal feelings very well, and performs admirably in the role. Robert Davi is very convincing as ...

For Everyone's Eyes, Actually!
Advantages: Return to focus on Bond's character and the plot
Disadvantages: Less artistic camera work
...takes the role of Bond for the 5th time, in For Your Eyes Only. The film is a compilation of two of Fleming's books: For Your Eyes Only and Risico.
The Plot
Sir Timothy Havelock is in search of the St Georges, the boat containing the Automatic Targeting and Attack Co-ordinator (ATAC), the device used by the Royal Navy to strategise their fleets. When Havelock is killed, Bond is forced to team up with Havelock's daughter, Melina, in search of the ...
...rather than the scenery.
For Your Eyes Only is noteworthy for its opening sequence, involving Blofeld, Bond's nemesis. There were long-standing disputes between writers for the rights to Thunderball, with Kevin McClory eventually winning out, and so Broccoli and his Bond franchise chose to show that Blofeld was not so important, thus he is not even credited in the film. It is a shame to think that such a wonderful series such as the Bond films is ...
