The Dalton movies are what Craig's movies wanted to be and failed.
That's not even the best Dalton Bond movie
It is great but, it is too atypical of a Bond film to properly be the best. I think full appreciation for it can also only come from someone that is extensively familiar with the franchise - it would be a bad recommendation as one of the first films for someone that is new to Bond.
Very true. It's definitely a hardcore Bond fan's film. In my eyes, GoldenEye is the best Bond movie to show to a newcomer. The Connery movies just don't gel with today's understanding of blockbuster cinema. All of Pierce's run is perfect for bringing people in, like peeling back the layers. Then, they can go into the classic era if they should choose.
>Classic Era
Connery-Dalton
>Heritage Era
Brosnan's Era
>Reboot (Non-Canon) Era
Craigshit
The three I would recommend are FRWL, TSWLM and GoldenEye. Other than them being non-controversially considered as being amongst the best, that gives someone: 3 different actors, 3 different distinct decades/eras, 3 villain plots that are distinct enough from each other, and 3 different approaches (i.e. more grounded, more heightened, more action) to what the franchise can be.
Very well put. I wonder what the new guy will be like in terms of style/tone.
I would say it is hard predict as the Craig-era - although I would categorise it as being embarrassed about the franchise/character and coming across as tryhard - was schizophrenic in its tone. Casino Royale & QOS, Skyfall, Spectre, and NTTD are pretty distinct in style, which bizarrely leads to the Bond with the most continuity being the least cohesive. On one hand I can see a less dour Bond being pursued if only to distinguish it from the Craig-era; on the other hand I can see there being little distinction with it to the Craig-era, since what has really changed from a production standpoint(?) and so far the 2020s mainly just seem like a continuation of the industry/culture since the mid-2010s.
checked
>All of Pierce's run is perfect for bringing people in
but GoldenEye is his only good bond movie though
TND and TWINE are both 'good'. They just don't hit the same highs as other films in the series. Still a perfectly entertaining way to spend an evening.
Yep always been my favourite.
Now what the deal with Felix's Wife literally getting dripping wet over his best friend (bond) in every scene ?
forgot pic
There was some undertones but mostly due to the chemistry the actress had with Timothy. It wasn't supposed to be cuckolding.
I always assumed she wanted bond a long time ago and somehow wound up with Felix. Or bond Introduced to Felix.
Interesting outlook. After all, Bond should be irresistible to women.
Priscilla Barnes/Della was a major hottie.
She gets her breasts out in Mallrats
Felix really recovered quick form his wife dying by the end of the movie.
OP is a true kinoisseur
Felix you married a god damn prostitute !
Pam Bouvier is best girl.
based ltkbro
You know it.
Is this the only Bond movie to address the issue of rape along Quantum of Solace ?
The movie never states she got raped as that was too hardcore for the time but yeah, it's unlikely a defenceless woman would not be raped by a bunch of Latino mobsters/goons.
They don't explicitly spell it out but they make the implication clear to Felix
>We gave her a nice honeymoon !!
Also when Pam points the shotgun to Dario's groin you can see for a split second that he has a hard-on. He was almost certainly going to drag her in a dark corner after that talk. It appears that rape is his thing
>The movie never states she got raped
I disagree, it's pretty blatant when the goon says he gave her a nice honeymoon.
I suppose it depends how you count it:
>In TSWLM Stromberg has XXX taken with him and tied-up. Perhaps that is not truly addressing the issue but, there is the implication there that he intends to rape her.
>In GoldenEye Onatopp (with what she is like) could arguably be interpreted as at least being rape-adjacent with Bond in the sauna and Trevelyan force kissing Natalya comes across as if it was going to escalate to straight-out rape.
>lays eyes on Natalya
>seconds later, wants to frick the shit out of her

The Tomorrow Never Dies novelization states that Stamper kidnap women and force them to play in snuff movies as a hobby
The novelizations of the Brosnan films are amazing stuff. The relationship between Bond and Elektra is fleshed out way more which makes the ending all the more hard-hitting and tragic. They are also the reason I consider the Brosnan era perfection, even with Judi Dench's M. His first three movies provide the perfect template for Bond to continue on without end, a perfect mix of modern and old, dark and camp. DAD took it a bit too far but his first 3 movies are amazing. I miss Pierce Bondkino so much.
I really enjoy the final fight with Stamper in TND/Renard in TWE
I know that this is too "action-movie" for 007 but for me it were scenes like that which made the Brosnan era enjoyable. Seeing two guys giving everything that they've got to kill each other as a doomsday countdown close to them is fast ticking is a overused trope but nobody did it better than Bond-Brosnan. The emotional intensity as Stamper wish to avenge his mentors and Bond is still shocked that he just shot Elektra and taunts Renard with the fact adds another level to these scenes than mer fistfights.
Brosnan's movies are underrated to an absurd extent.
>the scene where he ponders over having to kill Alec
>the scene where he finds Miranda's body and mourns her
>the scene where he kisses and buries his head in Paris' hair after having killed Kaufman before leaving
>the scene in TWINE where Renard provokes Bond by telling him how he deflowered Elektra
>his reaction when Alec referenced Tracy
these movies had a heart and soul which made the action all the more sweeter. very correct post, fellow BrosnanGOD.
I blame the writer and director
when is it brought up in quantum?
El General raped Kurylenko's mother, wanted to do it to her as well on the boat and was about to rape the hotel maid when she stopped him
She was so beautiful. So fricking beautiful.
If reports from the people who leaked ATJ being offered the role are to be believed, they're going with a 'fantasy angle' to it like the Brosnan films which is music to my ears, IF TRUE.
I literally can't watch any Bond film pre-Living Daylights. They're just way too dated
I wouldn't go that far to say they're dated with a negative connotation. But I am a Brosnangay all around and prefer his movies.
That's a great touch for a great side character. I wouldn't doubt they were going to rape and kill her since in Felix's office, you can see all his Latin American covert agents were being killed off one by one and Pam was next.
You're missing out on some kino
?si=oD8inIU7WtbTYKTW
>cars driving down the road
>no action to speak of
>moronic slide whistle noise over the only genuine stunt in the scene
Is this supposed to be good?
It's really pretty simple anon, just keep the first film of any new Bond actor and trash the rest. It's the only time they put any thought into the character before it returns to boomer salesman franchise
Their only play here is a John Wick-adjacent quippy fantastic Bond but that will get tiring after one or two movies.
>and this time, it's personal
Welp, it's a better revenge bond movie than skybore.
Only complaint is Felix is inappropriately happy at the end for a man who just lost his new wife and became fish food himself
License to Kill is basically random Steven Seagal movie - James Bond edition
It's good. But weird that you could change the character name to Niko Ryeback and plop seagal in and it'd still work
Yeah, if it wasn't for Q showing up for what is my favourite appearance of his, there would be very little to remind you of what franchise you are watching.
What's the problem? 80's cocaine war crime dramas are a surefire kino recipe but add James Bond to it and it's doubly kino.
>steven seagal movie
Kek you're not wrong.
Bond movies have always had fantasy villains. A Columbian drug baron was too close to home, and Della's rape and murder was too real, it wasn't fun. She was too innocent.
And why ARE steven seagal's vanity projects so dark in content?
There was a huge thing for having escapist action movies about real-world horrific shit like sex trafficking.
Watching one hero go rogue and take down a bad guy and all of his goons is fantasy. We can suspend our disbelief and enjoy it because a dude who wants to steal billions in bonds and flatten a skyscraper to cover his escape or build a city underwater to survive the nuclear war he orchestrates are ridiculous premises, so the ridiculous odds the hero faces are more believable.
Some guy taking down a sex trafficking ring is going up against every government in the world and the stakes are way too real and grim.
You also have to realize that LTK is still way, way more toned down than what they wanted to do. They still had to do include fun and gimmicks out of studio insistince. Imagine if they were allowed to go all out on the story and characters... the scene with the ninjas creates such intense tonal whiplash..
For what it's worth, I've watched some Seagal stuff. every other actor but him is trying to at least give the film SOME legitimacy..
I took the drug part of LTK being the influence of Miami Vice.
I don't mind it, it was kino. It had SOVL. Latin America is a genius setting for Bond movies and it's a shame they didn't have the budget for some action set pieces in some jungle forests.
The drug kingpin was very much of its time, but just not appropriate source material for Bond.
No-one really gives a shit about drugs either. Della died pointlessly and horrifically because her husband was a CIA glowie who fricked with a drug baron. It's not a war anyone gives a shit about. Let degenerates use drugs, who gives a shite.
Literally just say no. No problem.
The drug war is just the CIA destabilising the whole of Latin America and making insane money. It's all a fricking sham.
Exactly. I can't suspend my disbelief for Cinemaphile about real-world issues because they all are psyops, lies, scams, hoaxes etc and the movies vastly oversimplify them.
LTK was tailored for Dalton. TLD follows the Moore formula just with more youth and physicality, then there's the part where Bond's colleague is killed, and Dalton has the look of murderous rage that set him even further apart from Moore (as well as Seagal, most of his 90s movies are revenge stories and his acting range isn't in the same multiverse as Dalton... obviously). Goldeneye seemed to fit Dalton as well with another personal vendetta against 006, but Bronson dialed the rage back a bit
Dalton's GoldenEye script had a lot of interesting stuff. A political thriller but with great action set pieces. It's really a shame it didn't work out but Pierce was the wise choice due to the fact that you had to signal the shift from pre-CW to post-CW with a new actor. Broccoli wanted Dalton but the studio chiefs at the time thought Dalton didn't have it to be a leading man anymore and wanted Pierce who looked more interesting and youthful to them.
It's insane how much she changed after the haircut. Like two completely different women. Her entire personality/behaviour changes too. It was really bizarre.
yum
More of this shoot?
>tfw everyone thinks I'm some contrarian hipster because I don't like Craig
Well, at least they have Lea Seydoux.
Craig is Bond for the average bugman NPC. They don't like James Bond nor care about him but god forbid you say this actor in this role was shit. Agent Smith effect in real time.

This, so much this
It was one of the most intense emotional moments in the entire franchise. And the passage afterwards where Bond lower his head while sad music is playing is so good. He knows that despite his vengeance being complete all the pain his friends have been through will not stop...
In a general way Dalton/Brosnan era had some of the best final lines delivered to villains
>For me
>She's waiting for you
Even Kaufman in TND even though he was a campy villain was dispatched in a suitably cold fashion
>Me too
What he says to Carver before killing him is also dark if a little more quippy
>Give the people what they want !!
But Graves's death while entertaining had its gravitas ruined by Bond going full Marvel-style quippy
>Time to face gravity !
>lines
If you want to talk about lines then Sanchez has some brilliant ones:
>Remember, you're only president - for life.
>Launder it.
>I guess it's time to start cutting overhead.
Also
>Give her his heart
He really is the best Bond villain and it's not even close. His relationship/chemistry with Bond/Dalton was off the fricking charts. Amazing movie period, not just a great Bond movie.
>Marvel quipping
this is my biggest worry about ATJ as the new 007. Bond quipping and Marvel quipping are massively different and you need a writer who understands that but I am not hopeful they will.
> You earned it. You keep it... old buddy.

It just must be something about that site as, for example, extensions will save a file as 810x540 but if you extract it through a browser it will be 1285x857.
I don't know what to tell you, they seem pretty good to me.
Small thing but, it is lazy that they reused the lighter shot from earlier in the film.
what makes you think it wasn't an intentional flashback?
>https://www.thunderballs.org/licencetokillpromotionalstill
Good source although a lot of the images seem to be of low resolution, however I imagine if you put them through image search through https://yandex.com/images/ you will find them in good quality.
Yandex is great for image discovering. Are you Eastern European or Russian?
LTK was far too kino and ambitious for the time and the creators overestimated their audience who were still hangover from years of Moore. It was succesful and loved everywhere in the world but the United States of Israel and the studio heads being morons didn't care if the movie was huge everywhere else and canned Dalton's take. What a fricking infuriating shame.
>Are you Eastern European or Russian?
English. I came across Yandex some years back when I was looking for a better way to find better quality versions of images using something other than Google reverse image search. I used to use Yandex a lot when I frequented /hr/ before it became utterly overran with cuck infested low-effort celeb threads.
I asked because I'm Russian. The favourite Bond here is not Craig as some wrongfully think, it's Brosnan. anyhow, Yandex is a goldmine. in fact, Russian internet is a goldmine for pirating. I got all the Bond movies on pristine quality with extras and the Pierce games on my PC at no cost and the yall work perfectly. just gotta lurk a lot and know where to look.
What's the history of Bond being released Russia? I take it they weren't shown in the time of the USSR, with GoldenEye being the first properly released in cinemas. How is Connery, Moore and Dalton viewed?
>I take it they weren't shown in the time of the USSR, with GoldenEye being the first properly released in cinemas
Exactly which is why Pierce is still thought of as the best Bond by nearly everyone in the general populace who knows of Bond. In forums, it's much more different but still it's Brosnan. First time bias, you don't forget it. Much is said about Craig's resemblance to Putin and him looking Russian but me and every single person I know think he looks perfectly English but real English not like movie stars. like an ugly chav who works at a pub. or a Nordic laborer. never slav or russian. maybe as he is now older, he looks more like it but not back then.
>Connery
Reasonably well liked. I'd say Connery is much more of a Russian Bond than Craig ever could be.
>Moore
he has his fans but his pastiche and camp style doesn't roll well with general Russian viewers who want something a bit more action packed and serious to a degree.
>Dalton
Very well liked in fact he has a very big following on forums. In fact, I'd say much as the Western Bond fandoms he's gotten a massive boost in Russian forums.
>Brosnan
First Bond and still the most liked. You could chalk it up to nostalgia but I think it's deserved.
>Craig
Casino Royale was great and very much in the wheelhouse of what a Russian wants to see in a film. His second was also good and very well liked. his other movies are not thought of fondly much or at all, especially the last one. Ironically, where Westerns think Craig is the tough/manly Bond we see him as womanly and gay.
How does your average Russian view the UK and the British? Not that I think Bond influenced any of this but, I've heard that there is this long-standing perception in Russia of British intelligence services being a big meddlers in Russian affairs.
Obviously, in these times, it's hard to know what the hell where bullshit ends or begins but it's not really putting it on the British specifically but the entirety of the West. Russia has a lot of fricking problems for sure and that terrorist attack really shook people up for a bit. As for the British as a people and a culture? Well, there's the fact that we clearly observe that your country is being pretty much invaded and your government is a laughing stock. I am lukewarm on Putin and don't delve into politics, for the sake of my sanity if nothing else. People here also have a huge hardon on about Germany and France and how they're compromised and betrayed the European people. I think Bond movies being ruined and politically charged are consequences of this. Brosnan was the lost Bond for me. I can't like Craig because he said too many disrespectful things about the role.
>your country is being pretty much invaded and your government is a laughing stock. I am lukewarm on Putin and don't delve into politics
Not Russian, I live in western Europe but what you say about your personal politics is interesting.
I take it that you are typical in that regard of many Russians. That's why I'm trying to explain to western progressives and that too many of them have trouble understanding. Even though many Russians may not support Putin or everything he does that doesn't necessarily mean they regard every aspect of the Western model (in particular societal evolutions) as desirable. Some of our leftists believe that protests in Russia or Belarus (or in Poland against the PiS) means that your countries are ripe for the same kind of cultural shifts that we had in the West
after recent events, all migrants are being offloaded with no second thought. a Western country would never do this. then you have these videos on Youtube where they selectively grab PUTIN BAD russians off the street for what is essentially propaganda. We have a love/hate relationship with him but to tell you the truth I wouldn't have it any other way. It's either Putin with all of his flaws or ESG/globohomosexual cancer. Anyhow, to get back to Bond. Westerners must think that we don't like our depiction as the main enemy in a lot of Bond films but we don't mind or think about it too much in an antagonistic vein.
>Westerners must think that we don't like our depiction as the main enemy in a lot of Bond films but we don't mind or think about it too much in an antagonistic vein.
Most British people seem to think the same way about British villains.
Yeah, it seems like a silly thing for people to get worked up on. I just read up on the new guy said to be offered the role for Bond 26 and I'm okay with it. What's your take, Britbro?
Is ATJ who I would go for? No, though saying that I do not have a strong candidate in mind. I find that people are getting too worked up on the actor and in doing so missing the bigger picture. More than anything Bond 26 will come down to the script and to a lesser extent the director, both which themselves are ultimately in the questionable hands of Barbara Broccoli. You get a lot of people here saying Cavill should be Bond but, I see no reason to think that would somehow overcome all the current attitudes and mistakes - just look at Cavill's inability to meaningfully influence The Witcher.
I showed it to my family and friends and they all think he looks good and cool, contrary to the reaction here. I heard he's 1/10 israeli but he looks solid so I don't mind what his ethnic background is in, in some small part.
As for Bond 26, it truly is in the hands of writers and directors. Barbara never cared and obviously doesn't care now. But we're stuck between a rock and a hard place because the alternative is her selling it to Amazon and Jeff Bezos who would ruin it on a scale we can't even joke about. I don't know what to expect and so I expect nothing and hopefully, I am surprised in the long run. I want them to go for a Dalton-style Bond but i'm sure they'll circle the drain and admit Brosnan's Bond was more audience friendly and go with that style.
Only americans have trouble with being depicted as villains opposite a non-american protagonist
The novel Master and Commander had the british crew originally fighting against americans but they changed it to the french for the movie because they feared it would fail in the US
Massively inappropriate song though.
>darkest Bond movie seen thus far
>generic upbeat love song
That shit needed a theme like VTAK's or CR's.
Bond themes are either male-sung rock songs about BEING a cold-blooded killer, or female songs about falling for one. LTK was purely a revenge flick, it needed a darker theme song.
It's kino and catchy but agreed. He should've had a male singer. That's how you make a Bond movie stand out and signal that it's good. Enough of female singers being sappy and boring.
LTK is a great Bond theme but just not the right one for the movie it got.
Before the song starts a drug baron has tortured his gf while we listen to her lover have his heart cut out, and within minutes of the song ending we get a reminder that Bond is a still-grieving widower, Felix gets half eaten by a drug baron's pet shark, and Della is raped and murdered.
Even TLD and LTK kind've had each other's themes
>TLD
a-Ha's song was great but I really think the PSB song should've been chosen instead.
Not a fan, doesn't quite work.
Also gays have no business doing Bond themes, they can't relate to him.
Look at what a disgrace the Sam Smith one was.
Bond themes need to be male rock songs simmering with imminent violence or female ballads about loving Bond but wishing she didn't.
That is true but I really like the melody of it but you're very right. The lyrics would need rewriting. I think one band that needs to do the next Bond is Arctic Monkeys. Their entire bread and butter has been singing Bond themes their entire careers and their sound is perfect for signaling a new, rejuvinated 007.
SOVL

Kino
The scene at the Hemingway House is one of the best in the entire series. You think he's going to end up meeting Blofeld due to the presence of the cats but it turns out to be M, and he damn near has Bond killed. Great movie.
her lazy eye is funny but cute
It's almost like a beauty mark for me. I never really notice it, though.
Unfathomably based. She was beautiful and this whole movie was amazing. I concur that it is a Bond fan's Bond, and not one to show just anyone.
property of a lady would have been fun with Dalton driving a monster truck
I never cared for the title of Licence to Kill - and yes I know the rumour it was changed from Licence Revoked as apparently American audiences did not know understand the word revoked. To me Rogue Agent seems the obvious the title.
It's a good title. It's one of the things that sets the 00 agent apart from others and in the movie. Plus the whole scene with his superiors asking for it back is cool.
Licence to Kill is better than Licence Revoked, it never felt right to me. I don't know what other title it could have had. All I know is that one title that needs to be used in the future is Devil May Care or Property of a Lady.
>Devil May Care or Property of a Lady.
Bond 26: 007 in New York
https://www.thunderballs.org/licencetokillposters
It had such shit posters.
The alternatives were far more interesting, although perhaps they were considered to arty for the time.
Love this one, it's the only Bond movie where he genuinely behaves like a spy. He infiltrates an enemy organization, gains the confidence of its leader, and uses every resource at his disposal to sow distrust between its leadership and undermine it from the inside until it's been so weakened that it can be openly attacked and utterly destroyed. You know, what a double agent is actually supposed to do. Being a spy isn't just about secretly observing the enemy to learn their secrets.
>steals an unimaginable amount of money from enemy organization
>instead of running off with the money to live the high life like a normal person would, he plants it to frame someone else in the organization for the theft, the money is just another tool for him because he's not a normal person, he's a spy.
no other bond movie does this
Probably the darkest Bond movie by a large margin. Probably the one also where Bond is at its coldest, sociopath light as Fleming intended. Just see the way he kills the various henchmen, Killifer by shark, Dario by grinder and Sanchez himself by fire.
And even though he just frames them but don't kill them himself, Krest and Heller's death were also pretty gory
Definitively a dark movie
I love Bond movies but at some point, you want some grit, some reality, some hard edge. LTK delivered this and more. It's truly brilliant. It gives you all of this but it never feels grimdark or boring like Craigslop. It's a masterclass in how to make a Bond movie, a real Fleming Bond movie at that.
As others have already said in this thread, LTK works really well for someone well-versed in Bond films due to the meta-knowledge. 1) LTK had keeps enough of the underlying spirit of Bond but it is not your typical Bond film; and 2) that Bond has that much rage as he sees what happened to Della as a repeat of Tracey.
Probably why it failed to make a splash on the US market because burgers are subhumans.
>that Bond has that much rage as he sees what happened to Della as a repeat of Tracey.
I never thought about it before but it makes sense. Do you think that this was why the script had Felix mention her offhand, as a way to hint of the link between the events in Bond's mind.
Also I think they may have had a relationship before she met Felix
Bond should rape and beat women more often
My biggest issue with LTK is M. Like how does he expect Bond, especially with his history, to respond to all of this? Apparently in the novelisation when M says 'he must be stopped' it also adds 'or helped' - the implication being he is greenlighting sending Q.
Cute Pam
tbf M was sound in saying that Felix, as an agent, was always open to being attacked to the people he put behind bars, especially drug cartels.
>He knew the risks.
I liked Robert Brown as M. Very reliable presence and actor.
I get where M is coming from (and he's correct) however, he handled Bond terribly - especially knowing Bond's own history. M's handling of Bond in OHMSS is far better.
Do you think that this was why the script had Felix mention her offhand, as a way to hint of the link between the events in Bond's mind.
Certainty
>I'm gonna take you to the bank Sanchez
>....to the blood bank
LTK to somewhat feels strange as a second film for Dalton. Obviously you have all the Bond history with other Bonds to fall back on but, LTK seems more like something you do as a third or fourth film for an actor after you have settled & established him in more standard Bond films before you do the rogue agent. Maybe it is because we never got it and LTK was his final film but, a Dalton film (GoldenEye, proto-GoldenEye or something else entirely) in 1991-1995 coming off LTK is difficult for me to imagine.
It is a shame we never got more Caroline Bliss Miss Moneypenny. For how brief she is in LTK she is effectively only in one film.
For me it is the scene where she invents Bond to listen to her Barry Manilow collection and he pats her on the bum.
She was so cute, bros.
Her Moneypenny is the best one. cute nerdy girl with a crush on James and the relationship has shifted from Connery and Maxwell. She was very memorable even though she has 2 minutes of screen at most.
Dalton is the best Bond. he is my dad's favourite, saw him as more of a real man/agent than any of the others who saw them as pansies who never worked a day in their life. he was sad when I told him he never did a third one.

what are you Bondbros up to this evening?
Gonna watch more of The Gentlemen tv show. Heard Theo James name kicked around for the Bond role and dismissed it. But a couple episodes in and I actually think he'd be decent. Needs to size up a bit though.
Talisa is so cute in this. Short hair on women is magical.
I hate watching the older bond movies.
The world looked so real back then it scares me.
Which of these four bond films that i haven't watched yet should i set up for tonight bros
Thunderball (1965)
For Your Eyes Only (1981)
Octopussy (1983)
The Living Daylights (1987)
Honestly, they are all worth watching. Since this is a Dalton thread, The Living Daylights.
Brosnan was the millennial Bond.
Living Daylights is the best among them. Skip Octopussy
Can someone please explain why James bond was very popular in the boomer era but completely failed to capture the millennial and zoomer market?
All the Bonds since the 90s have been commercial hits. What are you talking about?
Craig's last film was the 4th highest grossing film of 2021, Spectre was the 6th of 2015, Skyfall was 2nd in 2012 - I doubt boomers could be responsible alone for such a high figure, especially on account of him being so different to the Bonds before. As much as Cinemaphile (myself included) dislikes Craig, it false to say his films did not make money. The fact that so many people claim Craig is their favourite speaks to some millennial and more so zoomer popularity of him, as most boomers are going to give you either Connery or Moore.
>Skyfall was 2nd in 2012
Skyfall made an insane amount of money and just look at its competition.
>1) The Avengers $1,518,812,988
