REVIEW: This movie introduced Timothy Dalton as the new James Bond. Change is always welcome, even when it redefines the Bond character. Dalton's portrayal is a nice break from Moore's comical Bond. For the first time since Sean Connery played 007 I truly believe that Bond is a cold-blooded secret agent who could kill in a second. When he walks into a room, people would fear him, not laugh at his jokes. The movie itself was quite good. The plot, action, character development, villains, and allies were all top notch. I especially liked the locations. The Living Daylights had Bond go to so many different countries that almost every scene had a new background. Also, the idea of how to smuggle Koskov out of the country via the pipe was brilliant. Whitaker was a realistic villain who's motives can be understood. The teaser on top of Gibraltar was like a movie in itself and was very well done. All-in-all, it was a very good start for Dalton.
