Barry's elegiac score is excellent and makes this mediocre entry far more watchable than it would be otherwise. Honorable mention to Patrick Macnee and Alison Doody.
Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson (for Screenplay)
Runner-up: John Barry. Excellent score (as usual)
You disagree huh? Okay, I'll tell you what to do. You plug in that DVD, fast forward to the final scene of Bond awaiting Kara backstage. Now, pay close attention to the music as she closes the door and notices the glasses of champagne. Most - romantic - cue - EVER! And it's not on the CD! Can you believe it! (Note to self: when the mi6-hq mods finally take over the world, this is priority one for me: a re-release of the TLD score with every bloody note ever written by Barry for this film!)

Dalton, the most underrated Bond actor, makes an impressive debut in the role. Even more impressive is the fact that although being offered the role twice before, providence turned out for him to take over the role at nearly the last minute when Brosnan's "Remington Steele" show was renewed. I'm so glad it did because makes TLD his own. It's almost impossible for me now to see any other Bond actor in it.
Indeed. I consider TLD's script the most intelligently written one since FRWL. In many ways, it plays like a Tom Clancy thriller. And in 1987, that was a most welcome change after the tiredness of GF retread AVTAK.

but, for me, I think Dalton deserves the 11/10... he brings an edge to Bond that not even Connery did - a more aggressive, ruthless edge.. he was stern, calculating - but could also turn on the charm with the ladies when need be.

Runner-up, yes once again, the writers: another fresh take on the Bond formula, throwing in a bit of personal revenge. The plot is tight throughout, with very little fluff, if any at all.
