that Roger Moore essentially saved the Bond franchise - he made the most films in the series. I feel a bit sorry for him because he was no Sean Connery but then he never tried to be. Looking at his version of the Bond character I never really understood why so many people didn't like him. Brosnan is more of "I'm trying to be Sean Connery" Bond. Other than Lazenby I felt they all did a reasonably good job at what kind of Bond they were going for. Even Timothy Dalton who nobody mentions was in one of the best films of the lot "License to Kill" which had more of an original Bond feel to it than most. He perhaps wasn't "light" enough humoured.I remember Ralph Fiennes saying that dramatic acting is easy it's the stuff Cary Grant did so well that is truly hard to do well-- probably in reference to North by Northwest.
I actually think Roger Moore had a tougher job to do than Sean Connery -- Moore had less role in the movies and was a walking one-liner machine with a big wink wink to the camera and what's even worse is that in some of those movies "For Your Eyes Only" they were trying to make him more of a caring human sort and it rings more than a little hollow. I think it's tough to blame the actor for a scenario that is out of place with the character.
I found I enjoyed Moore quite a lot when I stopped comparing him to Connery - and what's more I enjoyed Moore despite the fact that he was in some of the lamest stories they trotted out.
