A great actor, and an underrated Bond

The best Bond ever

[@wofwof007]

Dalton is famous for not liking to do press, but you wouldn't know it from this interview - such a class act. Ian Fleming's James Bond in the flesh.

[@sickpup820]

He only does press with people he's a fan of or likes lol.

[@UnchainedEruption]

@@sickpup820 Pretty sure it's a contractual obligation to promote whatever it is an actor was working on.

[@beatrizbecker3728]

@@UnchainedEruption It usually is, yes. Jeremy Irons says he acts for free, and is paid to do the promotion :D

[@charlockprime]

Dalton seems like a wonderful guy with an excellent sense of humor.

[@bencool5823]

He is and he only did one Bond film where he was real serious that was only because of the story about being revenge 🎰 and his second was his last I'm sure if they would have let him do more bond films there could have been so much more he could have did with the character if they would have let him🎲

[@fortminor85]

He was Mr. Pricklepants in Toy Story 3

[@yowatchie]

License to Kill was easily one of the best Bonds. I did not appreciate him when I was a Kid watching bond films with my dad and brother. Always the thought Connery was the best. Then Casino Royale came out and I rewatched his two bonds. Really wish he had more of them.

[@photonvox]

I feel The Living Daylights is one of the best. “Girl with the cello!” Great synth-pop contribution from A-ha. Great Winter action scenes with the gorgeous Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Series 2, (technically a Volante?) And to add- he was the man to bring the darker, more serious, steely and sufficiently brutal Bond back to the screen. Nothing against Roger Moore, but the last few Bond films before Daylights were getting pretty campy and silly. Dalton did a much deserved, refreshing and excellent job with the character.

[@sahej6939]

It’s just the 80s scripts were so 80s!

[@UnchainedEruption]

I've yet to see that one, but I saw his first one, "The Living Daylights," and it blew me away. Probably my favorite Bond flick I've seen so far. I felt like it was just in general a great film, not just as a Bond film. (Although the bit about Muslim "freedom fighters" in the middle east portrayed as saints and heroes probably hasn't aged as well, but okay not the movie's fault) Sean Connery is still perhaps the most iconic for me. The definition of suave, gentleman agent. All the Bonds are great. They cast them well.

[@marjanp4784]

I watched it last night and I agree with you... License to kill is definitely one of bests and Mr. Dalton is unfairly underrated as Bond.

[@KimBailey-w2g]

@@marjanp4784 yeah really I’m coming from a woman’s perspective of the character. Oh my God I wanted to be that bond girl I was jealous of her. I didn’t know what to think. I mean you know to be afraid of him and run away or just run into his arms as I tell you, the man is stunning in his voice, Lord and it’s just sad that they didn’t give him more movies to do because I would have loved them. It’s just a Bomer and a big let down of the franchise but here we have our pond the one in the novels and it’s just sad but well done Timothy Dalton well done and if you’re listening to me you will always be my bond always and forever

[@MariaLima-vi8vg]

Connery Dalton Craig In that order, the rest don't really matter to me. I would say Dalton was a close second to Connery. Connery the best as he did more movies , but if Dalton did have a good run he could of been better than Connery. Early Craig was great too, but late Craig was a bit meh. His films went downhill the longer he stayed in the role , was just doing it for money in the end. Connery went same way too, his later films were pretty bad

[@80skid83]

Yeah and this was 99 too, I'm so gutted he didn't carry on as bond. I see why he didn't tho, by the time of goldeneye he was hitting 50 and they still wanted him to do another 4 or 5 movies . Sod that . They should of just given him a one film rolling contract, then he could just bow out whenever he wanted

[@KimBailey-w2g]

@@IAMDigiMortal that’s why they call it the biggest blunder in bond history they had an actor who looked like the character and played it to a T and with the lawsuit and everything going on back then in the franchise going dormant for six years really and by the time it was time for them to renew his contract he said one film they wanted more and he left. Then we got Brosnan and that was a devastating thing to me because I watched goldeneye on cable my house, and believe me when I watch that movie I got really pissed because that movie called and I was Taylor made for Dalton not for Brosnan. Really thanks for nothing.

[@bizmen81]

Timothy Dalton is the best Bond! Bad ass while also being charming at the same time. The Living Daylights was a good movie despite lackluster ending. License to Kill is most underrated Bond movie ever and great movie in general! Didn't do the usual formula which worked in this case! Best Bond Villain since very realistic. Pam Bouvier is the best Bond Girl as she kicks butt and is independent. Q has a bigger role. Finally, stakes are higher since no back-up and no guarantee that plan will work. Would have loved to see more of him as Bond, weirdly enough his role in "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" brings closure to his time as Bond!

[@JeanAdm22]

A grand actor.

[@q.h.s5051]

Sean and Timothy are my two favorite Bonds. He did a fantastic job! A great actor all around but my highlight is License to kill one of the best Bond films. Living Daylights is a great one too but that 1989 classic is so great!

Underrated Bond. Though Craig is my favorite, you can see how Dalton's films paved the way for Casino Royale and the rest.

[@pookiewookie7679]

I agree he was a great Bond

[@bonghunezhou5051]

His _second/final_ 007 film arguably had paved the way for those gritty, brutal Craig films that all of us have become familiar with.

[@SimBol1216]

@@bonghunezhou5051 I'd argue even his portrayal in The Living Daylights (as well as elements of the film itself) set the stage for Craig-era Bond films. He eschews most of the humor and displays a sleek professionalism, not wasting time in getting the job done, unlike Connery. Not to mention the political elements of the film like the inclusion of the Mujahideen aren't dissimilar to how Spectre included modern-day political themes like mass surveillance.

[@q.h.s5051]

Imagine Dalton in Casino Royale? That would’ve been the ultimate Bond film

💯 agree. Desmond Llewellyn said he felt Dalton was the closest to Flemings book Bond.

[@lesleynaughty]

Best Bond ever! Shame he didn't make more Bond films!

[@bonghunezhou5051]

A decade prior (summer of 1989), Dalton's final 007 entry ("Licence/Kill") also had the misfortune of going up against another Lucasfilm juggernaut, predictably being overwhelmed at the box office; history repeating itself indeed. {IMHO, the best Bond, and one of my sentimental faves, along with Thomas Sean Connery}
