Saw a bit of MR last night. Fun film but I feel like I'm watching Roger larking about rather than watching James Bond.
Fair point. Not in LALD (and in some parts of TMWTGG/ FYEO) though.
@bondjames I couldn't agree Moore
Yes, he is excellent in the centrefuge scene but my point still remains: I don't feel like I'm watching Bond onscreen.
He seemed more focused (and hence more believable as Bond) in TSWLM.
TSWLM is a bit darker and that's why his performance is different, as it was in FYEO. He always got the tone right. Connery in DAF did the same thing, due to the nature of that film. That's a mark of a decent actor.
I think Moore pretty much played the same character in MR that he did here :))
It's like his Bond from MR eventually got bored with women and turned gay for fun.
To me if he were a snobby gourmet he's turn up his nose at the latter two, but he's singular enough to be able to enjoy them all.
I always found Sir Rog too pansy in his first go around; that Connery could knock him over with a glare.
Moore, to me, was better in TMWTGG, at least showing a little edge.
In the end, I think I respond better to the Connery/Craig arrogance over the Moore-type portrayal (especially in LALD).
Having said that, once he settled in to the role, I found it was effortless, with the confidence & arrogance spilling forth quite nicely and with a refined edge in all of the remaining films.
I can't see him as having a licence to kill.
And that underwear shot he did almost made me cough my morning coffee out of my nose. That's something I can't unsee. That WAS worse than Moore's "Moobs" in LALD.
I find TMWTGG to be the worst portrayal, as Gilbert noted they tried to inject some 'Connery' into his portrayal. Terrible idea. Roger is Roger. They're both great at what they do. What I've always liked about Roger is his unflappability. Connery would fight with his own reflection, while Moore would sit watching with a Cigar and then finish him when he least expects it.
It was weird, but not in a good way. Dumbest gunbarrel ever.
Fair play. I think Hiddles could be a very good - even excellent - Bond in a vacuum. But coming after Craig it might feel a bit jarring.
