When I first saw this movie as a kid, I wasn't too crazy about it since it didn't seem as fun as the Sean Connery and Roger Moore Bonds. However, after viewing it again later on, I sort of warmed up to The Living Daylights a little more. It is a more serious Bond film, but like For Your Eyes Only, it does have some humorous bits that keep the film fun and not make it seem too dark.
I really love the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Bond drives in this. I even have a collectible model of it on my display self. Yeah, I'm a James Bond nerd. The title song is okay, but not my most favourite. As always, John Barry provides a pretty good musical score for the film. He even makes a rare on-screen appearance as an orchestra conductor in this too. After John Barry left, I've always felt that the series lost some of its magic.
I believe that The Living Daylights was the last Bond movie to have an illustrated poster, although I could be wrong.
It's too bad they don't make these illustrated posters anymore, they are really cool.
