Timothy Dalton’s Bond was one that audiences couldn’t accept, but more contemporary audiences would have enjoyed him if he was made Bond today.
When Timothy Dalton was cast as the fourth incarnation of James Bond in The Living Daylight , much was made of his grittier approach to the character, but Daniel Craig in Casino Royale showed it was the right approach–just too soon. Dalton, an avid reader of the Bond novels written by Ian Fleming, demanded of the producers that his films reflect the uncompromising, moody realism of the literature.
Ironically, Craig’s performance was consistently and positively compared to those of Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights and License To Kill . This Bond - an emotionally vulnerable, erratic, and believable killer – brought the character back to its roots and yet was firmly and rightly associated with its predecessor but one.
