    Why did you have to make it so damn difficult

    It's a toss up between the inplausible nonsense of Moore's fourth outing, which is actually very good, lots to keep you busy and get involved in and some of the best lines in the entire franchise, there is simply never a dull moment (apart from whenever Lois Chiles is on screen)

    On the other hand, Moore again with FYEO, arguably the most straight faced the Londoner ever gave us, less of the campy humor and nonsense that was so prominent in some of his other work. It had adventure, danger, classic Bond moments, it was a very good release in actual fact

    After some careful consideration I opted for Moonraker, I just feel there is more to it, more to get involved in, it has Michael Lonsdale who is the polar opposite of the awful Julian Glover in being a serious Bond adversary, it has pythons and G force simulators, and Dobermans and Cucumber Sandwiches and double taking pigeons etc.. For Your Eyes Only can't compete with that

    Moonraker (wins) for me

    @00Beast Next can we do Licence to Kill vs. Quantum of Solace? I'm curious to see what the fans think of the two renegade Bonds.

    Yes sir, we sure can! Thanks for the suggestion!

    As for the previous round, For Your Eyes Only took the cake over Moonraker with nearly double the its votes!

    All right, as requested by @QsAssistant, the next round will be:

    License to Kill vs. Quantum of Solace

    Revenge tale v.s. revenge tale hmmmm??

    I will stick up for the inevitable loser, but still the better film for me, QoS.

    License to Kill, the other "movie" is just plain garbage, any movie can win.

    License to Kill
    It simply wins! I like QoS as well, and I'm sorry Brady, I'd love to help you defened QoS, which I've enjoyed a lot more recently, but LTK is my Number 3. It's got much better villains, a better score, better girls, an easier-to-understand plot, and Q in his finest hour! However, Quantum's got the better locations, action and pace, I'll give it that.

    Quantum of Solace, but it's close.

    This is really close for me. Both are on my top 7. License to Kill wins imo but just barely.

    QoS Much as I love Dalton as much as I do Craig, Craig's performance is better than Dalton's in these particular two films. Had it been QoS vs TLD, I'd have said TLD.

    Quantum of solace i know LTK will win but I felt Quantum was stronger and cooler

    Wow, it's actually tied right now. This might turn out to be a surprise round! Well, I've guessed that we'll get the flock of Dalton/'80s Bond fans and the Craig supporters pulling from both sides of this match.

    LTK for better pacing. The tanker chase in QOS would have only lasted 40 seconds.

    You do not want to see a hyper blinking fish.

    Both are a disappointment, although in LTK, we do have the best James Bond even if I don't think it's all that great of a release, but still an entertaining watch

    It would be too easy to castigate QOS for all it's deficiencies, so I'll keep it short and say License to Kill wins this round, look at the array of villains here with respective films,

    Franz Sanchez, Dario, Ed Killifer, etc, and then we have Greene, Elvis, etc. Not much of a contest this one

    I just wanna say Im a huge Craig supporter and like Crai more than Dalton but I voted for LTK just because it feels more complete. CR blows them both out of the water though.

    What were the total numbers of votes for each film, 00Beast?

    Licence to Kill since it was easier to discern the action and storyline in that one.

    Thanks for doing this one, 00Beast!

    I'm going with Licence to Kill.
    QoS is a decent outing but was harder to follow than LTK, plus it's villains are not as awesome as LTK's. Anytime I think of QoS's editing it just makes me want to... :-&

    Just because it feels more Bond to me and, I think that Dalton is the worst Bond, not actor, of them all. Plus just the tosca scene itself beats the whole LTK, although QOS has other great scenes, like the last one, where he throws the neaklace... QOS is so underrated(runs and hides)

    LTK. It's an overall better film, better villain, better stunts and the Bond theme kicking in as Bond and Felix go fishing for Sanchez.

    Not a huge fan of either of these. It is the appallingly ill-judged editing of Quantum of Solace which pushes me, without a great deal of enthusiasm, into voting for Licence To Kill

    While I think I prefer Craig to Dalton I'm going for LTK. That film has it's fair share of faults but its just the more enjoyable flick IMO.

    Plus Robert Davi blows Mathieu Amalric out of the water in terms of villainey.

    Hard one, since I´m not too fond of either, but I will have to go with LTK. It has the signature gun, the explosive alarm clock and the other gadgets, plus Q. Dalton also looks a lot more like Bond to me than Craig does.

    - A solid performane from Dalton
    - A truely evil villain in Sanchez
    - The superb score, in partiular Kamen's take on the Bond theme
    - Pam & Lupe
    - The gunbarrel where is should be
    - Gadgets
    - I can see what's happening at any given time
    - The Tanker Chase
    - Bond & M at the Hemingway House

    LTK.

    LTK all the way, Dalton in his best perfromance as Bond in a film which is different than the norm but still has the feel of a Bond film.
