I like "Licence to Kill". One of my top 5 Bond film picks. It is in a slightly different style then the other 007 films of the 80's, and it's budget problems are apparent. But still, it is a very good tale. Some of the acting is low grade from the three ladies. On the same level of Stacey in  "A View to A Kill". The movie does have a good villain.  The lizard was a bit over the top, but I can forgive that kind of gag over let's say playing the song California Girls (and a badly done cover version at that) over what could have been one of the most thrilling and dangerous tension filled moments of Moore's career as James Bond.  That could have been on par with the "The Spy Who Loved Me" pre-credit scene. But no, they completely cheesed out. And don't let me get started on the fake looking ice burg sub...  Glad they kept that kind of goofball humor to a much more subdued level in the Dalton films. More so in "Licence to Kill".
