  Since they're my faves I thought I'd be the first to post a review of the Dalton films. My LTK one is in the other thead if anybody is intrested.
  
  A brilliant film which for me, also holds alot of emotional value. My first Bond film, and my 2nd favourite overall. I remember being taken to the cinema to see it today.
  
  The PTS, is very good. Bond skydives into an exotic location with other agents for training. All the other agents start being killed one by one, then finally Bond being revealed, then he jumps onto a moving landrover and fights the baddy, destroys the landrover, then cooly parachutes onto a boat and gets off with the hot girl in the bikini. Like GF, this could be a miny Bond movie, it has all the classic elements. Another thing I've noticed about the PTS is, it ties in nicely with GE. After 006's "death", the Ministry of Defense wants to avoid the same thing happening again, and orders M to send the 00s to Gilbatar for a test.
  
  From there on, it's an electrifying Bond adventure, with the Smert Smiopnan message haunting Bond as he tracks down Kara, then Pushkin, and after faking Pushkins assassination tries to stop Whittaker and Koskovs plan. The whole cold war plot is brilliantly done, the story is one of the best in the series. Koskov is a funny villian, Whittaker makes a good villian as the crazed military man, and Necros is really threatening and memorable. Kara is a good Bond girl who's also hot, and Dalton gives a great, classic Bond performance.
  
  The action is great, with the car chase and the plane fight being the stand out moments. The scenes inbetween are also great, the scene where Bond is going to shoot Kara but misses on purpose (really tense), and the hotel room scene with Pushkin are my favourites (Dalton was subtle but dangerous). The soundtrack is also great.
  
  This is the start of what I think is the golden age of Bond films (87-99), and it's one of the 3 I think are perfect, 10/10 flicks (the others are LTK and GE).
