No, he wasn't as good a Bond as Connery. But I still liked him.

Britain can use a 007 about now.

He was one of my favorite Bonds and had some other good roles.

If he had died a day or two earlier...wall to wall media coverage. With the Manchester Jihad...back page mentions.

Aw, no. I really liked Roger Moore; he was the second best James Bond.
Rest in Peace.
To: Artemis Webb
An interview he gave did point out something..
Those bond films were successes. All of them. And his Bond (as well as Connery) weren’t fighting heros and action stars. It had a formula that wouldn’t work today.

Moore was in "The Man With The Golden Gun", wasn't he? I mostly remember Britt Eklund in a bikini in that one. As you say, Moore was no Connery or Craig, but he did seem the epitome of what I thought an English gentleman should look like when I was a kid. RIP.

No, he wasn't as good a Bond as Connery. But I still liked him. I always thought he lacked the dangerous quality required of a good Bond. Moore was more fitted for Simon Templar than 007. One thing I really like him in was a one-season show he did with Tony Curtis called The Persuaders!, in which the two play wealthy adventurers in 1970's Europe with exotic locales and fast expensive cars.

The best Bond by far.

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.
To: Artemis Webb
Oddly enough, actor Clifton James (Pepper) died last month.
To: Artemis Webb
“For Your Eyes Only” was the best of the series under his watch. Saved his Bond reputation after the “Moonraker” silliness.

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...
