Like a couple of other Fleming fans who weren't hot on LTK, Amis thought the series had become too much like an American action movie in the general level of mayhem, stunts, explosions, violence, etc. If those critics could see what subsequent Bond films were like, they might have revised their opinions!
Amis's review of LTK can be heard here by the way.
Not bad for the Bond that has no sex appeal, runs funny, looks like a librarian, was cast as a runner up to Brosnan, and is only remembered because what Craig has done with Bond.
Yeah, I was delighted to see that. This result further confirms that Dalton was simply ahead of his time. I've always loved his Bond from Day One. To be honest, I'm torn between Dalton and Craig....Coz I think Craig is the modern Dalton.
Hear hear. My favourite actor next to Alain Delon, and most certainly my favourite Bond.
Yes, coming in #2 behind Connery is fine indeed. Kinda made my day.
Timothy Dalton IS James Bond!
Me too, still good to hear that he came second after Connery.
EDIT: ok, saw it. Craig got knocked out first round by Connery. As would any of the actors. A bit daft to say the least.
Certainly Craig was done a disservice by putting him against Connery in the first round, but even so Dalton's victory over Moore leaves me confident enough that he'd be able to beat at least Brosnan and Lazenby too.
Thing is that as a past Bond actor who is not Connery, third place will always be the highest possible place to reach in popularity polls. Most casual fans either prefer Connery or the new one, that's how it has always been.
Dalton's surprise victory over Moore and another 32% of voters still preferring him to either Connery or Brosnan in the final round is a huge accomplishment for someone who has always been one of the underdog Bonds. Great job, Tim!
Oh, how i have had dreams of that happening!!
Such a shame it never happened!!
Yeah, it's a painful dream to always wake up from.
I love Brosnan, but Tim needed at least one more film. TND could have still happened.....
If I could switch things up to be super picky, I'd replace Connery's DAF with a second, revenge-driven Lazenby film to end the Blofeld saga, then carry on as normal until after LTK, where a third Dalton film is inserted between that and Brosnan's GE. If I have to sacrifice another film to make it happen, I'll gladly give up DAD, so that both Dalton and Brosnan could have three.
I'd go for this. Make it so!
Yeah, I also love Brosnan. Especially, his TND performance. But of course, Dalton not doing a third film still hurts....I fear the hurt might never heal.
Not only my favorite scene with Dalton, but one of my favorite moments in the entire franchise.
Agreed.
"Yess, I got rhe message!" Love the way Dalton delivers that line!
Yeah, I really love the way Dalton delivers that line with calm coldness and Barry's music in this scene, is spectacular as always.
I love this scene!
+1
Truth be told - Dalton was a breath of fresh air after the tongue in cheek antics of the Moore era, and brought the character back to reality. Had it not been for the legal issues, he would of done at least two more before signing off.
