7/10
Dalton's first Bond film was pretty good. There are times when it drags, but overall it's very entertaining. Dalton steps into the role of 007 with confidence and undeniable charm that makes him the most underrated Bond. The villains are not as interesting as most of the others, but they present a challenge to Bond and make for a decent plot. Overall, I would consider The Living Daylights to be one of the most entertaining of the series.

The first Bond film to feature Timothy Dalton is a highly entertaining movie. Dalton takes over the Bond role with ease. He perfectly pulls off the suave part and the trained killing machine. I really can't believe he only got two films in the role. The villain admittedly isn't one of the more memorable ones in Bond's canon, but it doesn't take away from the general fun of this film.

I also liked how this was a slightly darker Bond, finally shying away from some more of the campier moments in previous films. A great introduction of Dalton's Bond and a generally entertaining movie.
