    Anything with Timothy Dalton. It was like they made James Bond out of wet tagliatelle

      Wow, whey I was doing a Bond Marathon many years ago, The ones with Dalton was the ones I most enjoyed. I think it was more action packed than the other ones

      I don’t think they were bad movies, and I don’t think Dalton was bad in them.

      They just weren’t Bond. More a before their time Bourne clone. They were a massive tonal shift from the cheesy Moore era and people weren’t ready for it.

        I had never watched them until now., the first was more standard bond template but with a serious bond.

        No, I beg to differ. Much as I detested the Moore reign, which got sillier and sillier movie after movie, I felt the Dalton Bond films were just plain dull and generic. You say Bourne clone, I say yawn. I will say that it wasn’t Dalton’s fault (I thought he made for a competent Bond) but the scriptwriters’ and cinematographers’ fault.
