It's subjective, but since Sean Connery starred in many other high profile movies and thus diluted his image a bit, Roger Moore's may be the one true James Bond. His James Bond movies were epic, e.g. Moonraker (launching several Space Shuttles at once anyone?).
- rcarmo 9y agoI concur. Moore's epoch and completely over the top plots gave us most of what was later fuel for spy satires, and even though Connery (and now Craig's) era became more "realistic" (even as the Cold War faded), Moore's smirk and deadpan were iconic.
- maxerickson 9y agoConnery mostly had the role before Moore, with it going back and forth several times. (Never Say Never Again and Octopussy were both released in 1983)
- trimbo 9y ago"For Your Eyes Only" will always stand out to me as the highest quality Bond movie he did. They were trying to take the franchise back from being too many gadgets -- I think it worked well. Love the ski chase scene. That said, I still think "A View to a Kill" is the most enjoyable campy Bond movie.
