I actually liked Licence to Kill. Don't know what was supposed to be so bad about it. I have a healthy respect for Dalton, although some of his roles are just laughable. Carey Lowell, mmmm. Benicio del Toro, a good maniacal sidekick to Robert Davi's dark villain. Wayne Newton, perfect comic foil, bless his heart.
I also liked OHMSS. It showed a softer, more jovial and vulnerable side which fit George Lazenby fine. Plus the ever-lovable Diana Rigg as a rebel-turned-bride. Savalas was forgettable. It's a real downer to see what happens so soon after the wedding.
I also actually liked Die Another Day. Halle Berry's beach surfacing scene was only one of several memorable moments for me.
As for bad Bond movies, the more I think about Moonraker and Never Say Never Again, the more I cringe. The World Is Not Enough also turned me off, due to Denise Richards being completely plastic (har har) and Robert Carlyle totally underwhelming.
Dammit, no more John Cleese as Q.
