(1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1   3.5/5 "Few people dug Timothy Dalton's turn at the James Bond wheel, but you can't deny that the man brought a certain edginess to the character."   Classic Movie Guide   A. J. Hakari C- "It's a strained, sexless, and overcooked film...Dalton's game, but the film is inert, perhaps unprepared to work with the new Irish Kiss direction of the series."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/5 "A cameo by Wayne Newton pushes the film into full-on kitsch, and many feared the series was dead after Licence's poor showing."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 2.5/4 "You won't be disappointed."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 2.5/4 "...it often feels more like a typical '80s actioner than a bona fide James Bond adventure..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "A well-produced slick high-octane action thriller that remains escapist and as entertaining as possible throughout."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "Licence to Kill may be taut and gripping, but it's not traditional Bond, and that, as much as any other reason, may explain the public's rejection of this reasonably well-constructed picture."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 8/10 "Dalton brought a seriousness back to the films that somehow got lost in a lot of silliness along the way."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 6/8 "A sign that the Bond series is improving."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "Licence to Kill is a real anomaly in the Bond pantheon; it's nasty and vicious, and seems to point the way for more violence in the coming Bond films. But it lacks the scope and world threat that are so key to a true Bondian film experience."   DVDTalk.com   Paul Mavis 3.5/4 "Very hardcore for Bond"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson  (1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1
