Timothy Dalton as 007

In 2020 fall, I first watched The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill, which stars Timothy Dalton and are  the fifteenth and sixteenth films of the 007 series, on the television set. I have done the spy action ones several times since then. They were both released in 1987 and 1989 respectively.

The two films depict the activities of James Bond who is a crack agent with English intelligence agency.

Sean Connery's and Roger Moore's Bonds randomly have sex with pretty women, however, Timothy Dalton's Bond does not resemble them about it, moreover, he makes less jokes, so he looks kind of straight-laced. When he was in his early forties, he looked older than Moore in his fifties also. Although the third Bond actor is far more suitable as the lead of a blockbuster than the fourth one, yet Dalton's 007 films are intriguing as spy action ones because Dalton's Bond looks more serious, in addition, I like his because he is not frivolous, like Daniel Craig's Bond, though he appears plainer than other Bonds. Dalton also does not more stylish as Bond than other Bonds but he is certainly a cool actor anyway.

Bond girls are pretty in the two movies. I bet it is because Dalton's Bond looks less gorgeous than other Bonds. Maryam D'Abo in The Living Daylights, Carey Lowell and Talisa Soto in Licence to Kill especially are lovely and bewitching.

The young Benicio del Toro acts as one of the villains in Licence to Kill which is his second flick. The performer has had a presence since then.

Dalton's 007 films as well as Craig's ones have a serious style, though I do not think of Dalton's Bond as not sexier than Craig's, so I am sorry for the fans of Dalton's ones but I do not prefer them to other 007 ones. All the same, I think that Dalton's two flicks are good as spy action ones.
