Actually it's ok...

"Licence to Kill" is the second 007 series starring Timothy Dalton after "The Living Daylights". It is also the second 007 film I have watched completely. Although, almost all film critics chose him as the worst 007. But in my opinion, it’s not that bad. Timothy Dalton is a Shakespearean actor and has a wealth of acting experience. Anyone who has seen "Jane Eyre" starring him will have no doubts about his acting skills, an actor with ideas. Naturally, I want to add something new to his character. Of course, Timothy Dalton also wants to inject some literary and artistic temperament into 007 (as a Shakespearean actor, this is also normal), but he is out of time, the film is out, bad reviews Like tide, just luck. I think if Daniel Craig took over as 007 at that time, the result would be the same-a beater, just like the evaluation of Timothy Dalton back then-an inexplicable, excessively connotative 007. The times make a hero... Just like I always think that Daniel Craig's interpretation is no longer the original 007, because he is already a US version of the agent killer, too dark, too violent (not related to acting), and not handsome. In my mind, the best 007 should be Sean. Connery, Pierce Brosnan, (George Lazenby only played "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The impression is not deep, Roger Moore is quite satisfactory, too plain, not very brilliant) Of course, Timothy Dalton I also think it is good, although everyone is not like him.

    007 has less sci-fi color and more personal grudges.

    Serious and realistic, Bond also has true friends. For the first time, it was not for the government and the queen, but for the sake of friends. Yes, Kelly Lowe will be jealous, misunderstood, sad, and Bond will jump from the second floor to the pool to coax people, full of humanity. PS: The villain's younger brother looks familiar, but it's actually Benicio del Toro, was he so handsome when he was young?
