That's an exceptionally well reasoned review DR333. I agree 100% with all of your comments, and I particularly like your phrase "generosity with the characters". That is one of the best qualities of...

Great review DR333. It's exactly how I feel. All these reasons make it one of my top 3 Bond films.

Whitaker and Koskov aren't the best of villains, but that doesn't really bother me. I think they work fine for this film.No Bond film is perfect anyway.

TLD is superb, a top 5 for sure. A no-nonsense Cold War Bond film up there with FRWL. They certainly made the right decision by leaving out that flying carpet scene!

TLD is very good. The score is one of Barry's best, Dalton is great as a younger and fitter Bond and the plot is really good. That said, the lack of a clear, threatening villain is the movie's main...

Peppard- yes, good choice, I concur.Neill- unlikely.Caine- too big a star.McShane- yes, he'd have been interesting.Cole- I think all wrong for the part.
