The Living Daylights

 

 

 

 Starring: Timothy Dalton

 Directed by: John Glen

 Rated PG

 Genre: Action

 Original Release Year: 1987

 Synopsis: 007 returns to help a Soviet General defect to the west.

 My Thoughts: No matter what anyone says, Timothy Dalton is easily the worst Bond in the franchise. He does not look the part, he does not act the part, and for some strange reason, he seems to be more of a villainous Bond than anything else.

   Scorecard

     Acting- Timothy Dalton begins his reign of terror as James Bond and within the first ten minutes of the movie you already hate the choice of him as Bond. His acting was below par as James Bond and in my eyes really didn't seem to try and be a good Bond in this film. It really doesn't help when the supporting cast does a really bad job too. Acting overall in this movie was bad at best. (0)

     Direction- John Glen returns for his fourth Bond film, and begins to slowly go down hill. Glen does not get good performances out of his actors, nor does the story flow very well and everything seems shaky. (0)

     Story- It's another story where Bond tries to help a Soviet defect. Nothing overly special about the story but as always, it makes for a decent movie. (1/2)

     Expectations- I was hoping this movie would be at least watchable...boy was I wrong. This entire movie had me rolling my eyes around, everything about this movie made my head hurt. (0)

     Boring?- This movie had nothing exciting about it. While the entire movie was not all that boring, there were a lot of crucial times that just dragged because of bad acting, bad directing, or just plain bad story. With a running time of 130 minutes or so, everything just seemed to drag. (0)

   Final Score: 1/2 out of 5

 Final Thoughts: This movie is sadly the worst Bond movie ever. There have been some real stinkers, but nothing adds up to this crapfest. I wouldn't wish this film on anyone...not even my good friend Jim. (sorry Jim!) Avoid this movie at all costs, you may get cancer from just looking at the cover. (results are made up.)
