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!

Sad news. Moore was not the best Bond, however his
For Your Eyes Only was my favorite Bond film. Good basic Cold War plot, minimal use of gadgets like too many Moore Bond films. Overall a well executed film.
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...

Is he the first Bond to pass away?

I thought Octopussy was pretty good.

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.
