I don’t disagree. I love Moore, but there was a lot of lame stuff in his films, which I still love by the way, just because it’s part of what I grew up with. I was in the era of no Bond really - 10 years old when the Dalton flicks came out, but that wasn’t much of an event. Then like 17 when Brosnan started. But I still think of Moore as my original Bond because I saw all his Bond films several times on tv over the years as a kid (and like him and the films far more than the Dalton ones that were released).Ian Fleming once said that he thought Moore was the actor who would be best suited to the role of Bond. I sort of grew up with Moore, in terms of the films I saw in theaters rather than the older Connery flicks on TV that were released either before or shortly after I was born, but I thought that Connery was a more serious and dangers mofo than the debonair Moore, who played the role with increasing tongue in cheek humor in every new installment. By the end Moore was a self-parody and probably 10 years past his sell-by date as a super spy.
