The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) 9/10 - Well, after I watched FYEO, I read somewhere that people consider it Moore's best Bond film. And yet, my memory told me that I thought TSWLM was Moore's best. I watched it, and I remember correctly. I love this movie. I believe like this, more than any other film, feels most like the Connery's. Lot of classic stuff here. Very exciting plot and action. Funny too. Only a few downsides. The score's a little too 70s at parts, and Barbara Bach doesn't really do a good job. Also, at times in the second half, it is a little too slow. Other than that, great film.
The Living Daylights (1987) 9/10 - I saw Moore's best, so I decided to jump ahead ten years and see Dalton's. I love this movie, too. In fact, each time I watch it, I like it more. Bond's a real guy again, thanks, in great part, to Dalton, who does a fine job as Bond. Pity he only did two. As with any good Bond film; the plot's interesting, the action's intense, and the score is first-rate (as it always is with John Barry). Yet, it suffers in much the same most Bond films do: by being too long. In this case I think the finger can be pointed at the portion in Afghanistan. Hate to sound like a broken record, but, other than that, great film.
