A 57 year old James Bond running around in a movie that's trying to be the 80's version of Goldfinger.

Yeah... the movie doesn't hold up very well today but I would still watch it.

A View is likely the result of 60's, 70's writers with little creativity left to rehash the same story an umpteenth time.

I mean... we have a board meeting in a blimp??? but in the end something like that makes the movie a little endearing...

This. Dalton was easily the most badass Bond there was and he was definitely not PC. License to Kill was awesome. Bond just going nuts killing everybody.

I feel like this thread has devolved in to one of my favorite Buffy episodes:

quote:

Warren: Yeah, back when Bond was Connery, and movies were decent.
Jonathan: Who remembers Connery? I mean, Roger Moore was smooth.
Warren: You're insane. You're short, and you're insane.
Andrew: I like Timothy Dalton! Hey!
Warren: Don't make me pull over, okay?

Warren: Connery is Bond. He had style.
Jonathan: Yeah, but Roger Moore was funny.
Warren: Moonraker? The gondola turns into a hovercraft? It's retarded. Besides, the guy had, like, no edge.
Andrew: Dalton had edge. In Licence to Kill he was a rogue agent. That's edgy. And he was amazing in The Living Daylights.
Jonathan: Yeah, which was written for Roger Moore, not Timothy Dalton!
Warren: Okay, this is stupid! We're wasting time. End of discussion. I mean, there's a shot of like pigeons, doing double-takes when the gondola blasted by!
Moonraker... is inexcusable.

Warren: Connery is the only actor of the bunch.
Andrew: Timothy Dalton should get an Oscar and beat Sean Connery over the head with it!

I just got confused, thought it was living daylights.

Tanya Roberts was hot, though.

And the firetruck chase through San Francisco, while a little too slapsticky at times, was pretty legit.

If it would have been released today, this board (and a lot of others across the Internet) would have a monthly "Could Bond really have lived by sucking air out of the tire?" thread so that counts for something, too, I guess.

That's right ... just keep saying it sucks ... even though you'll flip channels, see it's on ... and watch until the end.
