Ryan MMc’s review:
Easily up there as one of my favourite Bonds.
I absolutely loved The Living Daylights and was very eager to see Timothy Daltons next outing as Bond. It didn't disappoint.
The change of style and approach was disliked by many but i welcomed it with open arms. I found the location filming bright and inviting, the pace was excellent and i felt the Bond series had taken a leap forward. Such a shame the bigger audience didn't see it like that. I'm still a bit gutted to this day that Dalton didn't get a better chance at more Bonds, he ranks as my favourite with his two films.
Highlights for me in LtK are the breathless pre-credits scene, amazing title song, the water-skiing scene, edgey Bond girl, the locations and the thrilling truck chase finale.
5/5
