The Living Daylights is getting a 6 from me.

Middle of the road sort of stuff this one. Some really cool stunts as per usual, decent enough plot, but nothing terribly enthralling. Dalton has always been one of my least favourite Bonds. He's not bad, just slightly forgettable and dour (although I guess they were going for the latter with the shift in tone after Moore's departure). That said, some of his humour is superbly delivered (the "salt corrosion" line is perfect).

Never warmed to Whittaker as villain, although both Koskov and Necros are good as villains. Bond girls are kept to the minimum, which is a plus as it allows Milovy's character and relationship with Bond to be better developed.

Last but not least... another cracking theme song.
