The chase down the mountain with the trucks and the car is excellent. When the final truck goes barreling down across all the roads, it's truly terrifying, a sign of how Bond does not care if he dies as long as he gets Sanchez. I think Dalton is not so much humorless as relentless, obsessed. I also think he was going for a more serious Bond after the jokiness of Roger Moore.
I think it's a decent movie. Talisa Soto is wonderful, the best thing in it, although Carey Lowell is also quite good, and it's nice to see Desmond Llewellyn out in the field. Q & Bond always spar, but beyond the fact that they truly respect each other, they also truly like each other and care for each other. The sparring is a bit of manly cover for their feelings. Q's willingness to risk himself for Bond in this movie is a sign of their real relationship.
