What's wrong with Dalton? I liked Living Daylights. Licence to Kill was alright too. They went too far in the "gritty" direction on the latter in my personal opinion, but at least they were trying something new, especially since some of the later Moore films went a little too far in the "wacky" direction (cough cough Moonraker)
Dalton did a great job with what he was given. The first few minutes of Brosnan's movie brought back the cigarettes and casual sex. Dalton's Bond was 'cleaned up' for the AIDS era.
Moonraker is my favorite. If that kicks me out of the fan club so be it. Daniel Craig is my favorite Bond though.
Don't get me wrong, I like Moonraker, and Moore's Bond for that matter.
It's just that sometimes you're watching a spy movie and the US launches a space shuttle into orbit, which is met by a space shuttle owned by ~~Elon Musk~~ some billionaire space tycoon (which he stole from himself), then they both open up and a bunch of army guys and billionaire goons float out and have a laser gun space battle, and you kinda have to step back and wonder how you got there.
And considering that the book has nothing to do with space...
