License to Kill was the first Bond film I ever saw so it does have a special place in my heart. The villains are better in LTK but that is about all the film has in favor when compared to TLD.
So, Daylights for me.
As much as I like LTK though, I have to say that TLD is the better film. I just wish it had atleast around 15 minutes less action and they'd decided to leave out the cello case slay ride scene (Eon lacked the discipline to fully stay away from the Roger Moore homages). :) It's also the last Bond film that is scored by John Barry. I don't think they'll ever be another Bond film that sounds as good as the TLD does.
1989 saw License to Kill, which was a major flop, a bit too violent, Bond goes renegade and resigns from her majestys goverment, saw that all before in OHMSS
Shark tanks in a bond film, no surely not, but Robert Davi's sanchez was a worthwhile villian
One of the weaker entries, but Dalton for me, closest bond to Flemings original
TLD for less cruelty and violence, more James Bond in it.
LTK- too violent, but good characters.
TLD- good story
LTK-Intriguing
Della's dad (who I feel most sorry for) even said the marriage was a bad idea. How right he was!
;-)
Felix was talking like he went in for a simple knee operation ;)
Come to think of it he probably wouldn't have been a very good hubby anyway. At the beginning he seems more excited about catching Sanchez than getting married.
In regard to the "rape" comment I wouldn't go as far as that. That word is more appropriate for Connery/Pussy Galore. However @jinx did make me chuckle.
The ferris wheel stops
"what's going on? Why do we stop?"
"I arranged it! We're going to be here all night"
(comes closer to Kara)
"don't" Stay away from me you moody thesp" ;)
"don't think just let it happen"
A better ending would've been Bond not too certain about his ability to return to MI6 to be resolved in a 3rd Dalton Bond film that (sadly) never was.
TLD; a good , more traditional entry in the series. Weak villains. Drags a bit.
License to Kill; Movie with a thriving force. Not so traditional. Better villain(s)
The ending is more fulfilling with bloody and bruised Dalton finally getting his rest. I don't even mind the winking fish. Felix getting over Della so fast was a mistake though
And I liked the ending to LTK. After 2 hours of brooding and violence the film gives us a bit of a repreive and reminds us that all is right in the world. If only Felix seemed a bit more somber but hey they probably had him on all sorts of drugs.
They are both close together in both quality and enjoyment value but I give TLD the slight edge....
