Roger Moore

Not really aging well when the 70's films are considered. . .but there is a real fun and cheesy factor to Moore's performances. But he pales in the shadow of other Bonds. Still, quite serviceable. . .

He wasn't as good as Sean Connery but he was a great James Bond. He starred in seven 007 movies. It seemed like he starred in more. Roger Moore was fifty-seven when he starred in his last Bond film. That was in 1985. I give Moore a 4 star rating.

Roger Moore is a comperable Bond actor to Brosnan and should have credit in the department of great perfomance. But he was just to nice (not a licenced to kill kinda guy). Although a great caractor actor and a gentalman... still Roger Moore could return evan at his age maybe as a comio or even a retired 007 for great ticket sales.

Excellent bond of all times

Roger Moore has never been capable of playing a serious character in any of his various roles, and that's needed for Bond. Moore plays Bond very tongue-in-cheek, overly suave, always in control and completely unruffled, very "cute," almost as if he wanted Bond to be a near-comedian. I'm not just talking about the perennially awful asides, which all Bond characters except Daniel Craig have been required to recite. Moore never made Bond into a serious, menacing character, a bit dangerous and unpredictable. I read all the Bond books, and Ian Fleming created him that way and continued to portray him that way throughout the series. Connery did that best, and Daniel Craig, who I now consider the second best Bond after Connery, definitely was more serious and more believable than Moore. Moore's goofiness in the role started the downhill decline of the movie series, which I quit going to see after the first couple with Moore. Connery was the first I saw in the role, and once having seen him, i... Read more

His Bond movies were the most campy. Each time I see him as 007, all I can think of is an AquaNet commercial.

Simply god-awful.

i consider roger moore the second greatest bond of all time

As much as I appreciated Connery,I have a slight preference for Roger Moore.He played the role with a subtle humor and just the right blend of tongue in cheek which added several dimensions to the character.Perfect!

inother to play this roll one as to have sexapeel and this guy as it.too bad they change him.

Could have been a better Bond if he hadn't played the role totally tongue in cheek but as probably the joint least "sexy" Bond, I don't think he could have pulled off any other interpretation.

I really didn't like his comic take on the character at all.

No doubt about it, Sean Connery looked the closest to the Bond I always pictured while reading the Ian Fleming books. However, on screen I would put Connery 2nd to Roger. RM was far more suave and had by far the best voice (Connery wasn't helped by all the sshhh sound when he talked, probably arising out of his attempts not to sound Scottish), could make you laugh just through eyebrow movement, and somehow carried off even lame scripts (eg View to a Kill) - witness Connery's difficulties with Never Say Never Again. Both, of course, were far better than Lazenby, who couldn't carry a screenplay in a bag and looked like a puppy dog in Diana Rigg's shadow. I do take the point on age. RM was on average over 50 when he played Bond; SC was on average under 40 (excluding that abomination N.S.N.A.) - but this just demonstrates the odds that RM was up against, and he still managed to play a hero. And how would Bond have spent his retirement: skiing in Switzerland with occasional stints as human... Read more

Spy Who Loved Me was a great Bond film. Moore was too much of a Dandy for my taste. He didn't look like he could fight and didn't seem dangerous like Sean. Could be somewhat funny (maybe too much so) and starred in some decent films. Got way too old. His pants were almost pulled up to his ears in View to a Kill.

Why don't we get a little girl with pig-tails to play bond. He is so girly, and that awful smirk. UHHGGK!

ligthweight humor, great gentleman, the best even with connery

Sean Connery was still the greatest actor to portray 007. That said, Roger Moore was just as enjoyable to watch as the legendary screen secret agent. Good natured and friendly, Moore often pokes fun of himself and his legendary role. But his greatest role is that of goodwill ambassador for UNICEF.

Give him points for keeping the Bond films going. A little too light-hearted at times, but I still watch his films.

Roger Moore has an aura of classiness about him, very fittingly for a British agent, and just the right touch of humor to give him that, cool under fire look, yes Sean was the best talent of the bunch, but Roger was in my opinion the best Bond

Moore was just a touch too humorous to be taken all that seriously as Bond. Having said that, I enjoyed most, if not all, of his Bond roles. Do you know that in real life Moore doesn't like guns?

highly underrated. Connery is the best, but Moore kept the franchise alive. He elevated the style and humor of Bond. Timothy Dalton's terrible movies highlight the importance of those qualities.

Roger Moore is the best James Bond.....

As the Bond of my generation, I used to think Roger Moore was the best actor to play the role. After eventually viewing the earlier films in the series starring Sean Connery as 007, I changed my mind as most do; however, Moore still comes in second. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and its near copy Moonraker (1979) are probably his best Bond movies as not only were the scripts better, but he and the fans had finally grown comfortable with his portrayal of the secret agent. The main problem with Moore is the viewer never felt that he ever experienced fear, as he merely knew that things would work out. Roger Moore was born on October 14, 1927 in London, England.

Roger was a great Bond. The only things about Roger was he got too old at the end in OP and AVTAK, and he just didn't have the physical edge needed. Roger was a really good Bond, and deserves 5 stars, but the truth is that the franchise losing Lazenby and ending up with Moore was the worst thing that ever happened to it, aside from Brosnan that is. As Cubby Broccoli said, "when we had Lazenby we had the most perfect guy in the whole world to play Bond, then he caused all that trouble and quit, and we ended up scraping the bottom of the barrel essentially with Roger as compared to our original plan of having Lazenby stay on through OP, then Tim Dalton takve over after that." So although I think Roger was a truly wonderful Bond, he wasn't Lazenby, who should have had the series in that time, and he still wasn't Sean, no matter how hard he tried. Roger Moore is one of the funniest actors of all time.

Roger Moore did a great job with the role of James Bond. I'd say he's second best after Sean Connery, but still a great Bond!

He was my first Bond so he will always be my favourite Bond. The worst actor out of all of them (except for Lazenby), he was also the one with the best sense of humour, the wittiest one-liners, and the most charm. He's also the only Englishman to ever play the role, which would seem to be a pre-requisite. (Connery-Scottish, Dalton-Welsh, Brosnan-Irish, and Lazenby-Australian).

I usually like my 007 adventures cold and sinister, but Roger Moore has the knack to make anyone smile and enjoy the plot, no matter how awful (stand up A View to a Kill). He triumphantly took over the role of Connery and became THE James Bond for a whole generation of fans.

Stuffy, pansy, aristocrat!

What an embarrassment. License revoked.

Not a bad actor overall, but the older I get the less I like the smarmy take on Bond (I grew up with Moore, and liked him until my mid-teens.) Maybe it was the 70s, maybe it was the aging franchise, but I didn't like that aloofness and slightly oily feel. Lazenby rates better in my book!

Definitely the best Bond in my opinion. I believe Connery gets most peoples vote because he was the first Bond. Roger Moore just looked the part, had a good voice (unlike Pierce Brosnan), and a real cool/sober wit and manner. It was like he was trying to stop the world from evil, but if he failed, hey who cares, I'll go home and get another job, no big deal..

definitely the most suitable Bond.

From my viewpoint the only thing this guy has going for him is the accent. Other than that, he is possibly the worst one of the lot.

Absolute dreck. I'm surprised he didn't single-handedly kill off the whole franchise. What a hack. The man never made ANY character famous, he just took over for other actors: The Saint, Bond, Inspector Cluseau. Come on...

this probably doesn't make much sense but he's "too Bond" for me.

Roger Moore did the best James Bond. He was meant to play James Bond. He was reall quick and fast, and unpredictable. He was one quick actino hero, and was good with the ladies. Go Roger Moore!

I grew up with Roger Moore being Bond, but there is such a huge difference between him and Connery that Moore changed the Bond we knew. He made (and the scripts) Bond into such a tart. I'd choose Connery as being the best even if someone was offering me £1m to say Moore.

Second favorite Bond after Connery. You could see Moore scoring with the chicks, he's got a good look, and the attitude but again not quite the physical international spy, jack of all trades, athletic look I would associate with her majestys best.

Roger Moore is in no way as good as Connery, but he is a very good Bond, but he made very few good Bond movies.

close but no cigar. not helped by some ludicrous plots and really looking his age by the time For Your Eyes Only came around

Roger Moore was infinitely better than Sean Connery. Connery just happened to get the better scripts.

Definitely attractive, but kind of , you know-wimpy?

Had there been no Sean Connery, I think Roger Moore would have been a great Bond. But Connery was so perfect for the part, it tainted all the Bond actors following him. Moore had the sophistication and the dry wit, but he seemed a little wimpy. Do they really expect us to believe that Roger Moore slugs it out with Jaws, then just kind of brushes the dust off his sport coat and walks away? Jaws would send Moore to intensive care in about three seconds.

Moore was the Bond that I saw in the theaters while I was growing up. I give him a high rating, but still feel Connery was a better Bond.

I grew up with him as my image of Bond and still take him over the others, except for Connery.
