Love that movie but I need to put a 'purer' Bond classic on top if that makes sense.
While I'm not a big Dalton fan his version of Bond was a purer take in a sense that he played him as darker and more brooding and truer to the character in the books, which was a welcome change from the super-campy approach Moore took (although I appreciated Moore as Bond too). License to Kill was really dark when you compare it to the decade that preceded it. His friends are both killed in the beginning, the wife is raped before getting killed. Bond quits the secret service and goes rogue. It's just awesome.
quote:I definitely agree. FRWL is the gold standard as far as the pure classic Bond formula. It's just perfect.
I think From Russia With Love is as good as it gets.

Felix is 'just' maimed. He makes an appearance at the end.
The thing I don't like about the Craig Bonds is that they are basically rewriting the Bond script and making all these plot lines (like Bond's relationship with Felix) from the older Bonds meaningless. I know continuity has never been the franchise's strong suit, but still.
