“Review excerpts describe public reaction to "Licence to Kill" as generally positive, with many reviewers praising its darker and more violent tone. Some see Dalton's performance as a standout, particularly his on-screen transformation into a vengeful and unstoppable force. Critics also appreciate the film's gritty tone and excessive violence, which marks a departure from previous Bond films.”

“Reviewers generally praised the movie as a solid entry into the series, with many considering it better than some of Roger Moore's films. Several reviewers also mentioned that Timothy Dalton brought a new level of intensity and cold-bloodedness to the role of 007. However, others expressed disappointment in the story and themes, citing it not being as good as other Bond films.”
