[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 1611413, member: 18280"] You are apparently forgetting that Felix Lighter got married at the begining of Timothy Dalton's first film, [I]License to Kill[/I]. When the new Ms. Lighter throws Bond the garter, Bond looks away. "He was married once," says Felix. You mean Pierce Bronsnan, of course. ;) Couldn't disagree more. Yeah, there are some cheesy bits, but this is the first time we've seen Bond really pissed since the opening of [I]Diamonds are Forever[/I], when Sean Connery went looking for Blofeld (who had killed his wife in OHMSS). Killing Blofeld is Bond's idea of taking some time off to deal with his grief. (And, while this is not a direct mention of Bond's marriage, it probably comes close -- remember that, to the movie-going public at this time, the last thing that had happened previous to this was [I]Blofeld killing Bond's wife[/I].) Felix Lighter's legs are eaten by a shark and his wife is killed on his wedding night. An obvious nod to Bond's wife. How can you not like that? Action scenes? Bond destroys the villian's cocaine shipment with a knife so manically that he is almost killed doing it. His anger is palpable. Then, not only does he have a great escape sequence, but we get to see [I]the villian's henchman try to explain what happened to his boss[/I]. That alone made the movie worthwhile, imho. Also, the good guys are angry at Bond for screwing up the bust they've been planning for [I]years[/I], and the bad guys rescue Bond from the good guys. I do agree with you about the theme song, and I understand that this had fewer exotic locations than most Bond films. But Dalton made a great Bond. The silliest aspects of the film paled in comparisson to the most serious of Roger Moore's films (the excellent [I]Man With the Golden Gun[/I]). I could go on, but I seem to be running out of steam.
