In Reply to: "Dr. No" was superb, too. I think the Craig Bond's are equal to Sean's, and I mean that as very high praise. posted by tinear on July 21, 2012 at 09:20:02:
Well... there was that ONE moment that Timothy Dalton had in "The Living Daylights" just after a fellow agent is bisected by a sliding glass door at carnival, when he goes berserk.He almost shoots some innocents holding Balloons, then has a brilliant psycho flip-flop moment with the moll he's befriended (d'Abo).
You see the rage and absolute cold killer suspicion for just a second, then it's gone again - covered by the disarming and charming (although steely) professional. Smooth.
A brilliant moment that captured something I hadn't seen as clearly in any other Bond preceding.
Dalton had something, not Craig's "animal", but something.
Agreed about Dr. No. Ursula Andress' Honey Ryder established the ultimate Bond pin-up image for all others to TRY to attain. I'm not so sure any did.
