Discuss James Bond: Licence to Kill

Although License To Kill (which was originally titled License Revoked) got a lot of bad reviews, was a great movie. True, it was a lot more violent than all of the previous Bonds, but it reinvigorated the action parts in all of the movies to follow.

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.

I've noticed that recent "whose is the best James Bond actor that Timothy Dalton usually comes in third (with the comment added "Daniel Craig light").

For me, this is the BEST James Bond movie. Maybe tied with Moonraker.

One of the WORST! Living Daylights was better.

@FlyingSaucersAreReal spy After watching LTK again a few days ago, I have changed my mind about my opinion that LTK is not as good as TLD. Even though it had more intense fighting scenes than any Bond films before it, it's a great prequel movie to the Daniel Craig Bond film's. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It wasn't terrible, but not what I'd call a classic Bond movie. Everyone has their own opinions though. I really like For Your Eyes Only, though that one doesn't get much love from some people. Maybe I'm just biased because it was my first bond movie.

@FlyingSaucersAreReal spy I liked For Your Eyes Only. It was a great realistic Bond movie that was sorely needed after Moonraker.

@FlyingSaucersAreReal spy Speaking of Moonraker, do you remember that silly scene in Die Another Day when there's an invisible car chase in Iceland? A lot of Bond fans thought that scene went way over the Bond Silliest Meter. Even Sir Roger Moore said that that was the silliest thing he had ever seen, and he was the Bond who went up to an invisible space station in a space shuttle in Moonraker!

LTK is one of the Bond films I've WILLINGLY seen multiple times! Loved it when I saw it in theaters and loved it on home video.

Thanks to this thread I'm gonna rewatch both TLD and LTK on my brand spankin' new Blu Rays...see which I truly think is better now that I'm seeing these movies in my 40s (yikers, I'm getting old cry )

I grew up with the original Bond films. Perhaps nostalgia has a lot to do with it but Sean Connery will always be Bond. I liked the villains of those Connery Bond films. Maybe those films remind me of the thrill of seeing them when they were still new, and when the concept was still young and fresh. For whatever reasons, I like the early films the best. Others differ with me on this, and I won't argue with them. It doesn't bother me that other people have different opinions.

@jorgito2001 and @write2topcat spy Great posts from both of you. Jorgito2001, after watching TLD and LTK on Blu-ray, can you please let us know how it went? Thanks.

@Jorgito2001 cry Not as old as I am!

2nd best Bond film of the 80s after Octopussy.

Both criminally underrated by idiots.

I like this film. Dalton as 007 is great, Davi as the antagonist does not disappoint. And very pretty girls. It's a shame only two films were made with this actor. There was a potential for a good series.
