287 | The Living Daylights (1987)
Michael, Rob, and Karen welcome Timothy Dalton to the James Bond films in The Living Daylights. After the mostly over-the-top Roger Moore era, the series gets back to basics with Dalton's realistic, angry, but also charming take on 007.
I think both Dalton Bond films were let down somewhat by the stories and/or supporting casts. Whittaker is one of the worst villains in the series and the confrontation with him just leaves a sour taste with me which hangs about as the film ends.
And "License to Kill" has what is probably my least favorite Bond Girl along with another ending that I dislike a lot.
