Licence to Kill (1989)

Dalton grows into the character
"[[ASIN:B000NDEXPM The Living Daylights]]" was a disappointment. But in "Licence to Kill", Timothy Dalton grew into the character and made it his own rather than trying to mimick Roger Moore. It's a darker James Bond than before, this time motivated by revenge. The story is less extravagant than some of the earlier movies - the villain is no super terrorist or megalomaniac but a South American drug lord - but the action is great. Robert Davi is a good villian and a young Benicio del Toro plays one of his henchmen. It is a pity Dalton quit after this movie. It would have been interesting to see more of him as Bond.

NOT TRUE!!!
I ordered a license to kill from Amazon because I have this really annoying neighbor who mows his lawn at night and I wanted official government permission to waste him. But instead I got a DVD! And the license it was talking about was only valid in the United Kingdom, AND you had to work for British Intelligence to apply for the license! I complained to the Secretary of State, and even to the governor, and six Congressmen, but they said no. And guess what happened in the meantime! My neighbor got a new lawnmower, an ever louder one! Arrgghhhhh!!!!
(But it was a good DVD)

Bond, James Bond
I did not like Timothy Dalton in Living Daylights, but I really enjoyed him in Licence to kill. I actually bought into him being James Bond. He is not Sean Connery but nobody is perfect.
