R.I.P Sir Roger Moore

[Master]

Lazenby was the other Bond when there was a dispute over the rights. He made a good Bond but as Beanz says Graig really is the best fit to the original Bond.

Moore is for many of us "The" Bond, having been on screen as 007 when we were growing up. Not sure if the U.S ever saw 'The Saint' but it was that scaled up that did it for him. Camp and knowing. The humour was such a big part of his performance. Never really understood Connery's appeal, thought Brosnan was neither one thing or the other but really think Craig has nailed it in making the role his own which is what you have to do.Moore made other work but he just is Bond for so many of us. RIP

The only "Saint" we got was Val Kilmer .....oh boy that's a rough one


Pierce Brosnan did well


Ralph Fiennes could have been a decent Bond...played M in Skyfall.

Here's something to stir up a bit of debate...

Jeremy Brett, hmmm....still prefer him as Sherlock Holmes to be quite honest, he was the absolute best at it! Think he was a bit too sissy to play Bond though, Bond needs a certain Alpha Male machismo whereas Holmes is just cerebral and aloof.
Dick Van Dyke would have been God awful as Bond....good fellow, but not a James Bond guy.

Liam Neeson 1994 Not interested in starring in action movies....GAAAAAAAY

Good on Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, and Adam West for turning down the role, they are all way too American for the role.

The Saint, flopped as a film but was a good TV series.

Did you know Lazenby had never acted before and got lucky when spotted by Cubby Broccoli at a barbers.

Am sure there's a stretched truth to it but that's how the story goes

No no no no.....

Craig is absolutely a HORRID Bond.

James Bond used to be this debonair, intelligent, savvy secret agent who defeated his foes with his wits, as well as his force. Connery did it, and so did Moore. Craig is all about brute force, acrobatics, athleticism, etc. He's gotten fooled by women (a huge "no-no"), almost poisoned, beaten the crap out of, in fact... the antithesis of a Bond. That signature line "The name's Bond..... James Bond" does not fit Craig, like it used to fit Connery and Moore.

Which brings me to the inevitable task of ranking the Bonds.
For my money:


1. Connery
2. Moore
3. Brosnan
4. Dalton
5. Craig
6. Lazenby

[Master]

Bond was a stoic, heavy drinker, masochist, loner. Hence why Daniel Craig is the best Bond.

I know you like him because he's a Red


To be quite honest the main dude who really deserved a shout as BOND and not the villain he ended up playing was SIR Christopher Lee, but he was too menacing....brilliant actor that dude, great bad guy.


Alan Rickman should have gotten the chance to play a Bond villain

[Dark Lord Al]

My wife and I stayed in a nice hotel one time and James Bond was in the room next door , clearly we heard the lady shout Roger More.

Rip roger

I really like Daniel Craig as bond he reminds me of miles but much less gay

[Nameless]

Best tribute ever. Rest well, Sir Moore.

Here's another ranking. Craig's way too high.

​I wonder how long it will be before the Pope makes Roger Moore a saint?
