COMMENTS?

LD Tallback #202

The debut of Timothy Dalton's harder-edged (and regrettably short lived) interpretation of James Bond.

This is... okay. Pretty good at best.

That's exactly how I feel about Dalton's follow-up, too. There isn't really much more to say about his stint as 007.

I still remember having a "...whuh?" moment at James Bond fighting alongside the Taliban.
