These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Timothy Dalton
Base Breaker: Fans are divided. Some loved his hard-edged portrayal of Bond; others agreed with Roger Moore's assessment that the role was too preposterous to be taken seriously.
Vindicated by History: His taciturn, violent portrayal of Bond is now considered to be almost prophetic, as it heralded Daniel Craig's rendition of the character by nearly twenty years. At the time, most viewers had grown comfortable with Roger Moore's lighthearted Bond.
