Review Highlights
AI-summarized critic and audience reaction, pulled from the Fan & Critic Buzz on their highest-rated films with us.
“The public reaction to the movie "Licence to Kill" is mixed but largely negative. Some reviewers praise Timothy Dalton's performance as a gritty and unsettling Bond, while others criticize its campy tone and lack of fun. The film has been compared favorably to other Bond films from the 1980s, such as Del Toro's portrayal of Bond in "The Crow". However, many critics have also highlighted its dark and violent content.”
