Lots of people seem to think that. He was ok. My mom likes Roger Moore.
Young Connery and Dalton are the best to me.
"He also read Lord of the Rings once every year and met J.R.R. Tolkien in Person."
IIRC his scenes were cut from the second LOTR movie. That must have pissed him off.
RIP. Old age. Better way to go than a bullet, stake to the heart, or getting your head cut off by Hayden Christensen. That bit with him standing there looking sad and shocked before he died was probably the best acting in all the Star Wars prequels.
“My mom likes Roger Moore.”
My Mom did too.

I’ll agree with that.
I don’t want to turn this into a 007 thread, but I pose this scenario:
Supposedly Timothy Dalton was considered for Bond when Sean Connery quit after “YOLT”, but was rejected for being too young. Imagine if Dalton had been chosen as Bond and Brosnan hadn’t been hamstrung by NBC back in the mid 80s? We would have had good/great Bonds seamlessly in place for decades.
I do stick up for Roger Moore though, because most of the scripts he had to work with were garbage. Whoever followed Connery was going to have that reality to deal with; Connery did have the luxury of working with the cream of the crop, script-wise.
And who says Lee wasn't adept at comedy ?
