Until its roaring-semis climax, there is no genuine excitement here. Only 133 characteristically overlong minutes of painlessly watchable bubble bath. [14 July 1989, p.1D]

James Bond might as well be any of a dozen movie cops. For whatever reason, writers Michael G. Wilson and Richard Maibaum have given us a hero without the suavity, the urbanity, the sophistication of the James Bond who set these particular movies apart. And when Bond is just another hero, the result is just another action movie. It's sometimes exciting, but it misses all the lovely touches that previous films in the series have provided. [14 July 1989, p.3E]

The best Bond in years, License to Kill delivers a surprisingly personal revenge tale showcases Dalton's abilities.

All in all, this is a great entry to the Bond franchise and one that is well under appreciated.

I have to believe that, should Dalton had been given additional films, he would have gone down as one of the most beloved lead actors in the franchise. While he may not have the animal magnetism Connery or even the younger Moore had, Dalton proves that Bond is more than just a pretty face, he is a bad ass agent as well. https://latetothegame.blog/2019/04/25/key-movies-of-my-life-james-bond-edition-licence-to-kill-1989/…Expand

I know this tends to be the most divisive entry in the series but it is my personal favorite of the classic series because it’s James Bond out for REVENGE!!!

Darker and more violent than previous entries, the stakes are smaller than by the franchises’ usual (Bond going all Narcos attempting to take down a drug lords empire) but it arguably feels more like a James Bond films than ever before.

It’s such a shame that this ended up being Dalton’s second and last stint as the character because it really felt like he was really nailing down his own unique interpretation of the character. He delivers every line in this movie with the right amount of gravitas with dashes of dark humor (Ex. letting a traitorous friend “keep” the bribe money).

I am also gonna say it right now….Robert Davi’s Franz Sanchez is the second best Bond villain ever!! Not only is the climactic tanker truck sequence probably my favorite action sequence in the whole franchise with countless great moments, the way Sanchez is finally defeated has to rank up there as one of the greatest villain deaths of all time.…Expand

Directed by John Glen and produced by Albert Broccoli, it has script by Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson and is the sixteenth film in the franchise. In this film, besides the central cast inherited from previous films, Timothy Dalton is James Bond alongside a great cast: Carey LowellDirected by John Glen and produced by Albert Broccoli, it has script by Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson and is the sixteenth film in the franchise. In this film, besides the central cast inherited from previous films, Timothy Dalton is James Bond alongside a great cast: Carey Lowell plays the Bond-girl Pam Bouvier, Talisa Soto gives life to the bond-girl Lupe, David Hedison plays Felix Leiter, Anthony Zerbe gives life to Milton Krest and Robert Davi is the villain, Franz Sanchez.

In this film, James Bond pursues the killers of his friend, Felix Leiter, disobeying orders from London. This quest for revenge will lead him to the Caribbean, where he will face a powerful drug lord.

This is probably the best Timothy Dalton's contribution to the 007 franchise. The actor truly embodied the vengeful and loyal spirit of Bond, giving realism to each action scene. This is a Bond that has little to do with the sarcastic gentleman of Roger Moore, and that somewhat resembles the macho killer of Sean Connery. Definitely, this Bond is a ruthless assassin, trained to kill, and who kills without thinking twice. The script puts Bond for the first time in a conflict of loyalties: should he be loyal to his friend and avenge his death or remain loyal to his flag and follow orders? The most similar situation we had seen so far was the resignation that Bond presented to M in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" but, if we consider that he was saved by the intervention of Miss Moneypenny, it ends up not being a conflict between boss's orders and employee's loyalty. We can thus say that Dalton closed well his participation in the franchise, since this was the last film of him in the role. I also liked the approach taken by the film to the anti-drug fight, a hot topic which wasn't seen in Bond films since "Live and Let Die", and was approached with realism and very pertinently, in conjunction with other hot topics, addressed more discreetly, as the use of cults and new religions for dubious purposes or massive corruption of the governments in Latin America. A sequence particularly well done is the final fight, combined with the gradual destruction of tankers. The opening theme of this film, sung by Gladys Night, is remarkable.…Expand

License To Kill

Glen claims this chapter to be an improvement and we agree with him finally on something, but as an individual project, is it really though? The director John Glen starts off, this second and after encountering it, what looks like also the final round of Timothy Dalton, with the Manchurian Candidate theme, a little derivative but a safe way to open any storyline, not that there is anything beyond that. In order to make Dalton empathetic and a guy with a shoulder to cry upon, the narration is made a bit sombre and adaptive, which we encounter through his eyes. Also, he is often wrongfully condemned which then gives him a complimentary arc to prove himself to both the characters and us, a smart move by the makers to keep him in check and convey that he does and will earn himself; it's a drop in the ocean, for sure, but that's a different topic.

Frankly, it would have been a lot better if this chapter was his entry to this exotically sketchy world. The humor is almost non-existent which was good considering the material the film deals with, but the thing that actually goes past mention are the make out scenes. The whole kiss and make up thing is something they don't even bother explaining, at this point, it's part of a charm, the makers counter argue, every single time.

It's like a textbook triangle love story with trust issues spiced up by a revenge driven plot, an eye for an eye action fabricated as a thriller; which so it blatantly has been claiming over the years; that's just misleading. The antagonist is given almost a parallel role that casts quite an impression compared to the previous baddies involved in Bond's memoir where unlike other times, he doesn't have a License To Kill, like that's going to change anything.…Expand

Ce second 007 avec Timothy Dalton est contre toute attente (après un Tuer n'est pas jouer fort médiocre mais regardable) un énorme étron. Tellement mauvais qu'on en revient pas, tellement mauvais que c'en est choquant : je suis sévèrement choqué par tant de nullité nulle à chier.

Certes,Ce second 007 avec Timothy Dalton est contre toute attente (après un Tuer n'est pas jouer fort médiocre mais regardable) un énorme étron. Tellement mauvais qu'on en revient pas, tellement mauvais que c'en est choquant : je suis sévèrement choqué par tant de nullité nulle à chier.

Certes, Forrest, Forrest Gump a dit que n'est nulle que la nullité, mais la nullité nulle à chier, c'est vraiment à chier. Et on ne pourra pas imputer cette catastrophe au seul Dalton mais à l'ensemble du film lui-même dont le scénario a été écrit par un mongolo, s'inspirant grossièrement de l'actualité d'un Pablo Escobar lu dans un Voici ou son équivalent anglo-amerlocain.

Il ne se passe pas grand-chose ou presque rien pour ainsi dire et les personnages secondaires qui font une grande utilisation des "bimbos" écervelées qui essaient d'avoir l'air intelligent, font à coup sûr l'effet foireux de baudruches qui fuient de toutes parts. En vérité, tout est surjoué comme dans un téléfilm de troisième zone ou une pauvre série policière amerloque à la mords-moi-le-noeud. D'ailleurs, le "méchant" trafiquant est incarné par Monsieur FBI en personne, Robert Davi...

La réalisation très plate en devient morne et carrément abrutissante, y compris dans les quelques cascades plus ridicules que dangereuses à dire vrai... à défaut d'être spectaculaires bien entendu. On voudrait bien en rire mais là aussi, impossible même au 75ème degré : le sous-niveau est tel qu'il est désormais sans fond.…Expand
