Moore made some of the very best Bond films in TSWLM, FYEO, and AVTAK.

"I woulden't say AVTAK I liked it but He was far to old 57 years old LALD was one of his best"Indeed, even Roger himself said of AVTAK; "I was only about 400 years old for the part", and that he was mortified when he found out that his co-stars (Tanya Roberts) mother was younger than he was. LALD, TSWLM and FYEO were good Bond films though, and while Roger Moore and George Lazenby are my two least favorite Bonds, I think they were both still good and gave important contributions to the series. My only problem with Moore was his age in OP and AVTAK - I think Dalton shoulda done them. :) Do you find this valuable? |

Strangely enough, I have Moore as my #2...mostly cause the other candidates really don't have certain factors to help them (Lazenby only had one film, Dalton sometimes was a bit "too" brutal, and Brosnan went from incredible in GE and just slid down a mountain bit by bit until I couldn't even bare him in DAD...and I still haven't seen the Craig films)

Well, I've got Roger Moore as my #1. And this is why:I classify Bond-actors into three classes. 1st Connery's era. The time of the most classic Bond-films. 2nd The time of Lazenby and Moore. The period of transition between classic films and modern violent films. 3rd Dalton's, Brosnan's and Craig's era. The time of violence taking bigger and bigger part in the films. The answer is in the 2nd era. Moore had to balance between classic and modern films which he maid quite well. He even managed to create couple of "classic films" more (TSWLM, TMWTGG, LALD) and marked out the path for Dalton (AVTAK and possibly FYEO). Sure there was also flops like Moonraker but I keep them more as a mistake of the scriptwriters. Do you find this valuable? |

"MOONRAKER was hardly a flop, and TMWTGG and LALD are far from classic."LALD and TMWTGG established Moore as the new James Bond after Sir Sean. I thought TSWLM was Moore's best Bond film, but to me, MR was a case of overkill - just TSWLM done again, except in space. FYEO was another good one, bringing Bond back to his roots (earth). He shoulda stopped here. He wanted to, but the Producers lured him back and he has said he regretted doing AVTAK. Dalton shoulda done OP and AVTAK - even Roger himself admitted he was too old at that point, and I would've liked to see Dalton in more Bond films. :) Do you find this valuable? |

The same can't be said for Moore's first two adventures."I see what you mean. What I meant with LALD and TMWTGG was they were the ones that introduced us to Roger Bond, before giving us TSWLM - a definite high point in the series. Not my favorite Bond film of all time but definitely my favorite to star Roger Moore. It's one of the films in the series that is a perfect example of a Bond film, kinda like Goldfinger for Sean. :) Do you find this valuable? |

I thought the women needed alot of saving in the roger moore films so i'd have to put him as my least favourite bond. That and the incredibly bad over-the-top humour that his movies had. (Tarzan Cry) while swinging on a vine surrounded by villians ,not helpful.

"MOONRAKER was hardly a flop, and TMWTGG and LALD are far from classic."What I meant with my previous comment was my own opinion. No need to take it too seriously. Sure we all might agree that nearly all Connery's Bond's are classics (plus possibly OHMSS). Next in the line are TMWTGG and TSWLM. LALD comes a little bit further. They aren't...how can I say it...the most classic of the classics but still have the elegance which originally got people interested in James Bond. Do you find this valuable? |

I think that IMHO, LALD was for the most part classic, but moreso because of everyone else in it (Jane Seymour, Yaphet Kotto, the minions, Peppers) than for Moore's performance as Bond. (though he did have memorable scenes, such as most of his stuff with Solitaire). He's finally essentially in the role by TMWTGG (where he starts really adapting Connery's brutality to an extent)...and the people really don't discover him and make his films popular until TSWLM (and to some extent MR) due to his first films not having the same reception as Connery's.

"MR is still awesome all these years later."I still see it as overkill. It was fun to watch, I guess, but I think TSWLM is a better example of one of Bond's big-scale adventures. I found MR to be too similar to TSWLM, but TSWLM = ocean and MR = space. It came along at the right time though, I suppose, during the star wars phenomenon, etc. Then FYEO was a welcome return to the good old days of espionage and realism. :) Do you find this valuable? |
