![]() ![]() ![]() The great news, however, is that we get to jump into the debonair canon of one Pierce Brosnan’s tenure in the tuxedo, and just in time for Goldeneye’s 25th anniversary! So until next time, no matter what delays may be thrown our way, just know that James Bond will return to CinemaBlend.It's time to find a new Bond. However, should it please the readers at home, I think there’s a way we can make up for it. The worse half of the equation is that, thanks to No Time To Die being pushed into an April 2021 release slot, we’ll have to delay our Daniel Craig rankings originally planned for November. When we return to the legacy of the James Bond series, I’m afraid I have some bad news and some great news. However, that’s officially in the past, and history still proves Timothy Dalton at an underrated James Bond who deserves more acclaim. Had Dalton kept going, we might have seen something akin to our current run of films happen much sooner. Pierce Brosnan’s eventual debut is still the godsend the series needed in the ‘90s, but that was mostly because the world had changed so much by time 007 returned to screens. ![]() However, the larger point that should be considered is we really lost out when the third Timothy Dalton film never happened. Its plot reflected the times without getting campy, and Dalton really shines in that film’s goings on. Evoking the sorrow of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, while foreshadowing the vengeful agent that Daniel Craig would get to embody in the role with his time as James Bond, License To Kill aims for an approach of gritty realism, giving Bond an adversary he could actually consider an equal. In my evaluation, I have to go with the latter film as my personal favorite. ![]() If you’re a traditionalist then The Living Daylights is your bag, and License To Kill is for those who like a harder-edged 007 caper. So which Timothy Dalton film is the better James Bond movie? Well, that depends on how you like your Bond. Which Dalton Film Is The Better James Bond Movie? Sledding on a cello beats diving into the pool of a fancy party in this case. Meanwhile, the singular love story between James and Kara in The Living Daylights manages to draw even the most experienced 007 fan into a romance that rivals Bond and his dearly departed wife and that’s with License even making a poignantly direct nod to that very moment. The subplot of her jealousy surrounding Bond’s work with Lupe doesn’t feel necessary, even with the charming payoff it gets at the end of the film. Here’s where License To Kill actually loses a point though, because while both Talisa Soto’s Lupe and Carey Lowell’s Pam both make for dynamic romantic leads that never succumb to the typical formula for this kind of role, there’s a little bit of a weakness in Pam’s story in particular. The reason for this is, as mentioned before, Dalton’s 007 gets not one, but two on-screen romances that work like a charm. The final hallmark I’m going to grade the Timothy Dalton James Bond films on is that of the romantic quotient. Which Dalton Film Has The Better Romance? ![]()
