My favorite Bond. As David Keeling once said about Roger Moore’s version of Bond: “For me he was everything I thought a man could be, everything I thought a gentleman could be and he was the pinnacle of class”.
First one I saw was moonraker on the big screen.. totally blown away. Always enjoyed every actor in the role but Sir Roger, for me at that time was absolutely brilliant.
Yes indeed, in my opinion Bond's series from the 70's to mid 80's with Moore where the much funniest of the series, Connery was also great, Moore was THE BOND.
I was a bullied eight year old kid in the late seventies when my late father took me to see The Spy Who Loved Me in the cinema, the idea of a guy who took no shit with such style and sophistication as (God bless him) Roger Moore was an awakening. He waa my role model from that moment, dress well, have a good 🎉sense of humour and always take what life throws at you with a pinch of salt
Roger was a classic ....nobody does it better than Roger Moore....miss his charming smile.The best....no new Bond whoever they are looking for can match the old school actors.Rip Bond...this franchise is over and have lost lots of fans as its not exciting anymore like the old Bond movies.
You are so right. I grew up in the 1970s and Roger was 'my' Bond. Also, in the 70s, the girls were GORGEOUS. Especially Mary Goodnight and XXX. Growing up, I enjoyed the Sean Connery films, but it is definitely the 70s for me when it comes to Bond. Any other film/actor after that just didn't compare. As for 21st Bond films/Daniel Craig, you can keep them. Far too violent and modern. Bond ended with Roger.❤
Nice. When Roger Moore passed away, I saved an obituary on my computer: 'The man who saved James Bond." Moore took over from Sean in 1973, when 3 different actors had played Bond in 3 back-to-back films. There was a good possibility that Saltzman and Broccoli could have decided that Bond films had run their course, and moved onto other things. ...Fortunately, that didn't happen. Moore's third Bond film was 'The Spy Who Loved Me,' one of the strongest in the entire series. That film, and Moore, established that more than one person could play Bond, and could make people believe it. - if handled well. It happened that I grew up during the Roger Moore era, so I always 'saw' him as Bond. My pet theory is: which ever actor you first see playing Bond - Connery, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan or Craig - that impacts you ('imprints' on you?) and that's who 'The REAL Bond' is, to that observer.
He had a lot of great moments, and I'm happy to give him his number two spot, or even one and a half. Connery was and always will be the first and best Bond.
Totally understand, for most people it’s Sir Sean and I think he’s fantastic. I think the Sir Roger era was incredibly well supported by the villains. I’m already thinking of a Connery tribute. Working out which music to use.
Der Bond mit dem ich aufgewachsen bin. Deshalb ist Sir Roger Moore mein Bond,mein Held. Bester Bond von Ihm 1.The Spy who loved me,2. For your eyes only,3.Live and let die,4.Moonraker,5.Octopussy,6.The man with the golden gun und 7.A view to a kill. Mein Ranking. Thank you Roger Moore
The best!!!!!! And you know what's funny? He was! And he was English. Not Scottish or Irish or Aussie like the other clowns. Craig is also, but he has no sense of comic timing and our recent times in history have made him out to be an emotional loser.
With all due respect but for me Roger Moore was by far the worst Bond. After the athletic and a bit rough around the edges characters of Connery and Lazenby, we got stuck this stiff, over-polite Brit who tried to joke his opponents to death. To me he almost killed the Bond franchise.
