Pros:
- I like Dalton's Bond. Athletic, tough and interesting. He looks and sounds right.
- A good plot. Complex, but not too complex.
- I also like the title song. It's not one of the best, but I enjoy it!
- Some good action scenes, especially the fight on the cargo net.
- The locations are good.
- The tone is more serious than the often silly movies that came before, but not as serious as the perhaps too serious LTK.
- The henchman Necros is effective.
-The car chase and the gadgets on it works well.
-I enjoy the cold war feel of the Bratislava scenes.
Cons:
-The villans aren't threatening enough. One of them should have been more violent and dark.
- Leiter in this movie is probably the worst ever. They should have used David Hedison from LALD and LTK, who was the best.
- They should have filmed the planned aircraft carrier scene. That's such a good idea it should be used in a future movie.
- Make the troops on Gibraltar marines or paras, since guard duty in an exercise isn't the right role for the SAS.
-They should have taken more advantage of Dalton's athletic ability and stage some good fights.
-The final showdown with Whittaker isn't interesting enough. It would be better to set it in a medieval castle.
