The best Bond by far.
RIP
I forgot about that movie.
It was a good one.
RIP Mr. Bond.
Moore was a good James Bond. It wasn’t his fault that the directors/script sometimes let him down. JW Pepper character is a blemish on the series.
Oddly enough, actor Clifton James (Pepper) died last month.
“For Your Eyes Only” was the best of the series under his watch. Saved his Bond reputation after the “Moonraker” silliness.
Connery was a bit boring at times while Moore was witty and brought tongue and cheek humor to the Bond character. Both had their pluses and minuses but both generally performed well with the character.
Superb movie!
“I suppose you are one of those who work the Times crossword in 30 minutes.”
ffolkes response, “I’ve never taken 30 minutes.”
It included very funny turn by Lynn-Holly Johnson in a supporting role. Which, unlike some of the forced humor in other Moore Bond films, added to the plot instead of taking away from it.
ffolkes was another enjoyable turn for Moore, who played very much against type.
RIP...
Nostalgia mini ffolkes aka Bad a$$ed misogyny
My favorite Roger Moore film.
Is he the first Bond to pass away?
I thought Octopussy was pretty good.
David Niven
Was David Niven actually a Bond in the Bond franchise? I know he was Bond in the Peter Sellers spy spoof, Casino Royale.
Yea, Casino Royale is listed as a “bond” film, but since it was a spoof, it probably shouldn’t count.
RIP, Mr. Moore..
