Roger Moore was just great in the role. He played like a comedy and with humour. He made sure that his character and movies are not be taken seriously but only as a great night out at the cinema. He was just a lot of fun. I also saw him on a rerun of the 1960s British TV series. The Saint. He was very good in that too. Daniel Craig was too serious for me. But Craig was good in the role. He took the opposite tack to Moore he liked Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby portrayal and believed Bond was a serious real person carrying a lot of pain doing a job he did not really like. I think they were all good. But Roger Moore films had great sets and were made in 1970s and 1980s. Two very good eras for movies and music. My Favourite Roger Moore Bond Film was The Spy Who love Me. 2nd Octopussy. However all of them are good highly entertaining movies.
🤔 As what you want regarding the Roger Moores time as James Bond. But I can keep watching these movies 🎥 again and again, and still enjoy them. I simply can not say the same thing about the Daniel Craig area of films !..
I remember enjoying watching the Spy Who Loved Me probably the most as a kid in the 1980's. Many memorable actions scenes, exotic locations, Jaws, etc. But looking back as an adult, the plot was way too outlandish to take the film seriously. In that respect For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy would have to top the list as Roger's Moore's best (most believable) Bond films. They were the first two I watched at the theatre as a 6 and 8 year old, and I could still watch them today and at least take the plots seriously. All the other Moore movies were too far-fetched and tried to play off current events/ other successful films of the time too much - Blacksploitation, Kung Fu, Jaws the shark, Star Wars...
Live and Let Die is the #1 Bond film of all time. My first Bond film. Roger Moore is my favorite James Bond though Daniel Craig knocked it out of the park. Dalton and Brosnan were great as well. Simple put, Bond films are awesome.
My Ranking of the Roger Moore Era 'James Bond' Films : 7. A View to a Kill (1985) 3. Octopussy (1983) 6. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) 2. Moonraker (1979) 5. For Your Eyes Only (1981) 1. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) 4. Live and Let Die (1973)
My rankings are 1. The Spy Who Loved Me 2. Live and Let Die 3. For Your Eyes Only 4. The Man with the Golden Gun 5. Moonraker 6. Octopussy 7. A View to a Kill
For me the bottom is Moonraker and the top is The Spy Who Loved Me. Next to the bottom is The Man With The Golden Gun, with next to the top Live And Let Die. A View To A Kill is dead center. Just above it is For Your Eyes Only and just below center is Octopussy.
007 - Live and Let Die 006 - A View to a Kill 005 - Moonraker 004 - The Man with the Golden Gun 003 - The Spy Who Loved Me 002 - For Your Eyes Only 001 - Octopussy
Roger starred in seven Bond films. Two more than Craig. Moore may not have strived for reality but then Bond is not a very believable character. In the book of 'Dr.No', Bond fights a giant squid. And Dr.No himself dies when a ton of bird poo smothers him. Hardly gritty realism.
I disagree with you! I grew up with Roger Moore bond. 1 the spy who loved me,2 moonraker 3 for your eyes only 4 man with the golden gun, 5 live and let die,6 octopussy, 7 live and let die.
