Nothing New Here
4 September 2009
In the 15th entry in the series, Bond gets a face-lift as Dalton replaces Roger Moore. Also, a new Moneypenny is introduced as Lois Maxwell is put out to pasture. The plot also is somewhat of a departure from previous entries as this one doesn't feature a super villain. Unfortunately, none of these changes produces a film that is a marked improvement over "A View to a Kill," the predecessor that is probably the worst one featuring Moore. Dalton makes a serious 007, lacking the playfulness of Connery and Moore. As such, there isn't a sense of fun. The plot is somewhat convoluted and tedious and it goes on much too long. Not having an interesting villain doesn't help matters.
