      Highway chase

      The 007 series of films have always been a monument in the field of action films and commercial films. This 007 movie was a little confusing at first, and it was a 007 movie after watching it for a few minutes. The two Bond girls in the movie are very beautiful, and Bond also has the charm of a playboy when he laughs. What impressed me most was the road chase scene, which was really enjoyable. In this movie, the big drug lords have been meeting with Asian drug lords. It seems that Asia is...

      The best and worst Bond Kill License

      After watching the whole film, my personal impressions of this film are as follows:

      1. This is the last Bond in the 80s and an elegy from the golden age of action movies. After the 1990s, the 007 series, which relied on real shot special effects and real actions, will face the strong impact of CG special effects ("Terminator 2", "Titanic"). This film caused Timothy to leave due to poor box office, and the next one will arrive in seven years! It is worth mentioning that since "Space...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film originally hoped to be filmed in China, including car chasing scenes on the Great Wall and a scene in a museum exhibiting newly unearthed cultural relics. The Chinese government has put forward restrictions on the right to veto the script, and the production has no choice but to give up the restrictions on the script.
    In order to change the film level from G to PG-13, some pictures must be cut. This film is the first 007 film...

    Evaluation action

    John Glenn has played his usual "straightforward horror" style, his humor is concise and slightly bitter. As the fourth Bond actor, Timothy Dalton portrayed an angry spy, a romantic actor and a fighting hero with skilled acting skills. (Reviewed by rogerebert) 
    Compared with other Bond films, the film lacks the elements that 007 movies should have. Timothy Dalton has a numb expression and no sense of humor. ("Washington Post"...
