Admittedly he brought cheese to the part but I thought he was brilliant!

Ian Fleming wanted Moore to play Bond from the start but he couldn't as he was doing The Saint at the time so some nondy Scottish bloke called Sean Connery got the role instead.

And just hold it in a bit longer...
Granted he brought a certain amount of cheese to the role, rather than just being crap like Dalton. Lazenby had something I thought. Maybe it's because I'm watching A View to a Kill, not the best special effects I've ever seen. Think the horse scene where he's doing the jumps.

Dalton was rather good, from a Fleming book perspective. Much closer to what Fleming had written. As is Mr Craig.

I haven't seen any of Craig's Bond yet....

The second was average, but necessary to re-establish the character, IMO. Casino Royale is really very good indeed. Even includes the final line of the book! (But in the wrong place!)

Yeah, Craig is good. But then again. Craig is a good actor in any role.
I hope he doesn't waste any more time on what is a shite franchise anyway. He owes himself quality roles. Not the shit lines and plots he gets in Bond tripe.

Moore not as good as Connery, but better (just) than Lazenby, who needed a couple more films to grow into the part.
I quite liked Dalton, but he's not as good as Craig...but where Craig goes in the order is still not clear for me...
And when I sort that out it'll place Dalton for me too
I gres up on the Moore films and loved them but can't quite believe how 80's they are now I've seen some of them again recently...
Maud Adams is still the queen of Bond girls for me though, I was right about that as a boy!

Moore was the right Bond for the time but stuck around for too long. I think his last two outings were probably the worst of the whole lot.
The Spy Who Loved Me is still my favourite one of all.

I really liked Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights, it's definitely one of the better Bond films even if the plot is wildly convoluted at times. Much closer in character to what Ian Fleming wrote.
Pierce Brosnan was very good too, it's just a shame that he was in some of the worst films script/plot wise.
Roger Moore's autobiography is a good read, some interesting behind-the-scenes snippets from his time as 007.

Dalton is good, he's close to what Flemming wanted. Craigs good in anything I've seen him in. Moore is just tacky.

Yes thats the thing - at the time Moore had it, but now his style has dated. Thats what makes Connery the best, still cool after 50+ years.
For me its Connery, then Craig, then Moore, then the other guys

You leave my Timmy alone. He's a proper actor luvvie.

Saw FYEO and Octopussy back to back the other day. Moore is painful to watch at times, although that may be down to scripts. The whole afternoon made me realise what a long time ago the early 80s were. (Moore hands wedge of rupees to Indian agent.. 'That'll keep you in curry'.)
Ridiculous Q gadget scenes where the technology consists of a spike-covered door that slams a person into a wall when they use the knocker. WTF? The secret services seriously developed that? Ever?
Austin Powers nicely skewered all that. The Craig films have restored (given?) some dignity and credibility to the franchise.

Live and Let Die.
Spy who Loved Me.
Two of the best 007 films. Leave Rog be.

About 10 years ago, he was with his wife, eating at a table next to us in a restaurant in Nice.
Good Bond or not, he was a charming, immensely likeable human being.Posted 1 year ago # -
And I have to say that his recent autobiography is very funny.
I'd agree that he was definitely showing his age in his last few films, but you've got to love the opening sequence in The Spy Who Loved Me - skis off the cliff, then opens a Union Jack parachute, up yours Johnny Foreigner!
I've also come to like Lazenby in OHMSS, I think it stacks up pretty well as a film in its own right.
Good subject for debate, though!

Moore in the Man with the Golden Gun isn't that cheesy and is quite good.
Later films were a bit crappy but I can still watch them.

Connery was the best by far really hate the cheese of moore. craig whats his face was really good in casino royale but the latest wasnt that hoy it all ended too quickly. New film is on hold isnt it money issues??
