Timothy Dalton as new James Bond is cool , lacked in irony, suavity and sympathy characterized by Roger Moore however earns in dimension of humanity , coldness ,cunning , adding intelligence and toughness like Sean Connery and nearly to character created by Ian Fleming . In spite of the spectacular opening sequences the Bond films were starting to look a little bit old and tired just like its star Roger Moore , then the producers Michael Wilson, Albert R. Broccoli and his daughter Barbara Broccoli hired Timothy Dalton to up the series. However , Dalton only played two Bonds , ¨Licence to Kill ¨and this one with the same director John Glen . Here Bond is an efficient , relentless agent trying to chase obstinately the criminals , traveling around the world as always , as this globe-trotting story is set in Rock of Gibraltar , Vienna (in the palace of Sissi and the big wheel of ¨The third man), Bratislava , Tangier among them , to achieve his aims , Bond along the way uses violent means even pulling off brutal killings against enemies who wreak all sorts of havoc .

The picture with a low-key intrigue contains sensational pursuits , silly set pieces, great stunts, frantic action packed , amazing gimmicks and stimulating images like are the happenings on the snow pursuits , the breathtaking aerial scenes, and the Afganistan fights . Enjoyable title song and stirring musical score fitting to action by the usual composer, the classic John Barry . Riveting and fancy main titles by habitual Maurice Binder . It's brimming with colorful and fascinating cinematography by cameraman Alec Mils. The motion picture produced by habitual producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson , being professionally directed by John Glen who directed various outings (Licence to kill, A view to kill , For your eyes only. Octopussy) though with no originality . The film will appeal to James Bond series's buffs but good for fans only ; because this one goes on far too long . Rating : 6 , well worth watching .
