One of my favourites of the series, Dalton was brilliant here. I just wish they stuck with this setting and tone for a bit longer. TLD was the boost of energy the series needed in 1987

Well, we have a new leader. The thrilling TLD edges out the magnificent DN and the sumptuous TB by a small margin. I think this is the first time that TLD has been so high against DN in this game.
@R1s1ngs0n – if you could include your final tallies that would be great. I.E. 123/150. It really cuts down on the amount of work that I have to do. Cheers.

There's a great film in there somewhere, the action is fantastic and exciting but it's horribly edited. The script is top notch in places, some of my favourite lines from the series are in this film, but it feels like it's not finished (which it obviously wasn't). One thing I don't normally pick on is Bond's clothes are really cool and stylish in this as well.
I just wish they would have focused the plot more on the Bond revenge for Vesper and investigating Quantum than the small stakes plot of the water.
On the whole though everybody did a great job on this film under the circumstances
