Finished watching "007 16: Killing License"

Timothy Dutton's other "007" series, in fact, two of his films are relatively small and refined, they are very distinctive, and the plot is not bad. Probably because there are few shots, there is no such serious Waterloo as the predecessors Sean Connery and Roger Moore-here in particular, "Gold 3" such as "Gold Finger", "Diamond" and "Man with the Golden Gun" . As for George Lazenbe, at least I don’t think "The Queen's Emissary" is bad...

Timothy Dutton in "License to Kill" plays not so much as Agent 007, but as a friend of James Bond.

This part focuses on some of Bond's personal relationships when he was himself. Attending the wedding of my friend Felix Wright and getting along well with the bride and groom (here surely I cue a handful of Tracy)-the story of the whole movie has nothing to do with any huge international conspiracy, just Bond Out of personal indignation, he wanted to avenge his persecuted and disabled friend and his wife who died on the wedding night.

I am deeply impressed by a dialogue in the movie.

——"You have to abide by our laws here."

——"Which law is used to protect Wright?"

As a result, the Bond of this movie, whose murder license he had repeatedly mentioned in the previous work, was taken back by MI6, and he had to repeatedly bargain with beautiful women for the equipment fee of 50,000 yuan-the first time in the series. Even the diving suits have to rely on robbing the villain’s little guy.

Fortunately, Qian Banni (the second Miss Qian in the series) and Q are his good friends as always. Q even brought equipment to Bond who is no longer part of MI6 under the entrustment of Qian Banni to send equipment, and also to help He reassures two prospective girlfriends who are jealous.

One star was deducted because the girl Bond did not choose in the end had too many eyes than the genuine Bond girl.

    The first 007 movie to avenge personal revenge is also Timothy Dalton's farewell work. Although he only starred in two films, he is the most handsome Bond in my mind. (as of 2020)

    Dalton plays 007 with a knight-errant style, tough and upright, blatantly disobeying the orders of his superiors, and killing and setting fire to punish evil in order to avenge his friends. This work is set in Central and South America such as the Bahamas. Although the villain boss is brutal, he also pays attention to integrity and is full of personality. The two Bond girls started the mode of competing for favor and jealousy, but there was no sense of surprise. There are many small problems in the details of the film, and individual plots and lines seem unnatural. The tanker chase at the end of the film is quite exciting, and the big scenes are not lazy at all. In addition, due to the unfavorable box office, the film became the last Bond film that Dalton starred in, and his image still lacked a little temperament.
