Review of Licence to Kill (1989) by Ryan B — 23 Oct 2010
Caught this again on one of those Bond movie marathons over the weekend. Probably the darkest of any Bond movie ever made, but I think this flick, as well as Timothy Dalton, get a bad wrap. Yes, it's more violent and there virtually no gadgets, but I think that was a good thing.
The Roger Moore Era was pretty much the Batman TV series with Adam West. That era was goofy, and it exaggerated the character and the series to the extent of pure silliness (see Moonraker). When Dalton came around, the silliness and the goofy charm of Roger Moore ended. I guess people didn't like that...for what reason, I do not know. Regardless, I liked Daulton and felt as though he got a bad rap.
