I also strongly disagree with you about Octopussy being a horrible film.
Agreed.
Moore is at his coolest in LALD. He doesn't have the classic Moore Bond charm and style, but there are some very bad ass moments.
TMWTGG is an uneven blend with some inspired moments and then others that fall flat from Rog.
TSWLM is where Moore really hits his stride and nails it. Absolutely love the scene at Kalba's club where Triple X and Bond have a 1-up battle that strikes a nerve with Bond.
MR is another classic Moore entry. The camp is amped up, but there are serious moments as well. Great one-liners throughout.
FYEO is Moore's attempt at a serious spy thriller. While it doesn't fit his natural style, it's also an inspired effort at times and shows off his versatility. The plot and subject better suited Dalton or Connery, but I'm glad Rog got a chance to show off his serious side.
OP is similar to MR for me. Back to his natural stride though I prefer MR's performance, Roger is great here and the moment with the nuke is one of the few times in the Series that really got me panicked. Of course he was going to stop the bomb but damn talk about waiting til the last possible moment!
AVTAK was Moore's weakest performance for me, though not because of his age and look. It was an acceptable send off and the whole film definitely gives the vibe of an end of an era. There is some classic Moore with his exchanges with Patrick Macnee who play off each other brilliantly. Other parts seem run of the mill going through the motions though.
I agree. :)
I'm with you. Think FYEO shows Roger could play Bond tougher and still have the Moore charm and grace.
Always like him in LALD as well. He is very confident and steps into those shoes with ease.
Moore has pretty even and after TMWTGG he found his stride and stayed consistent for the rest of his Bond outings.
Octopussy remains the bottom of the barrel in the series, along with View to a Kill.
And yes, if not his best, then one of Rog's best performances.
*crowd gasps*
Agreed. It is so realistic I get goosebumps when I see it! :)
