With the heaviest of hearts, we must share the awful news that our father, Sir Roger Moore, passed away today. We are all devastated. pic.twitter.com/6dhiA6dnVg

Probably. Or maybe this was how he gets written out.
I thought it was really cool that at the very end he managed to shoot that elephant and make it fall on one of the villains who was about to trigger a mass extinction. [Reply]

I agree on the bit cheesy but still enjoyable movie.
Moore was my "first" Bond so he kind of became my favorite
loved Jaws
Seeing some of those movies when I got older though I can see why some didn't care for him as much
especially compared to the Connery movies, Bond became much more jokey
they took the humor and stunts of Connery and turned it way up into constant jokes and puns and a lot of it was pretty cornball [Reply]

Very good actor, alot of fun memories. That sucks. RIP.
Moonraker? I made the mistake of watching that again a couple years ago, it was godawful. Way, way worse than I had remembered it to be. [Reply]

I think I was 12 or 13 when I saw it last, and I thought it rocked. Is it possible that maybe my tastes weren't well refined at that age? [Reply]
Moore is my favorite, mainly due to nostalgia watching Bond films as a kid on HBO during the summer etc.
I like Connery, and the early ones but they're really cheesy and corny (they all are...but the early ones especially so), but I still love them. Even Thunderball, and it's seemingly 3 hour underwater scene.
Worst....Dalton
wasn't a huge fan of Brosnan at all, but he was tolerable and nowhere near as bad as Dalton.

Yes, extremely possible. If you have good memories of that movie do not bother watching it again because they will be ruined. [Reply]

Then you named the wrong guy. Sean Connery is the Tom Brady of Bonds. Roger Moore is Alex Smith. Also very good, but he's no Tom Brady.
