"Timothy Dalton has Shakespearean training but he underestimated the role. The character has to be graceful and move well and have a certain measure of charm as well as be dangerous"
"I thought Pierce Brosnan was a good choice. I liked GoldenEye. Timothy Dalton never got a handle on the role. He took it seriously in the wrong way. The person who plays Bond has to be dangerous. If there isn't a sense of threat, you can't be cool."
Just found that article myself ;) I do recall in another interview Sean said he felt Dalton was not nasty enough I'll try to find the clip. Think it was the ITV 30th Anniversary special, I had it taped on Vhs.
spot on

AMC theaters are having a special double feature screening of The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only to honor the memory of Roger Moore with half of all proceeds going to UNICEF on May 31st and June 4th. Details on screening locations are on the page. Happy viewing!

I am going tonight.
TSWLM was the first Bond film I ever saw in the theaters. I am not a big fan of FYEO...and didn't see it in a theater. I am anxious to see how it will play.
But more importantly, I am more than happy to send some money UNICEF's way. RIP, Roger.
With Piers's permission I'm sharing this video with you:
Thank you for sharing.
What a very special message to share. Thank you.
I'm in place at the AMC Hoffman 22 outside DC.
OO7 and counting.
IN MEMORIAM
ROGER MOORE
1927-2017
WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
Along with his picture too!
Yes.
Not as large of a crowd as I would have hoped but it was such a treat to see two amazing movies back to back on the big screen like that. It really was a wonderful way to celebrate the man and how versatile he was, owning two completely different movies like that.
And my step-daughter had cancer too so extra thanks .
Sean also praised Tim. I remember an interview as Sean was promoting The Presidio in 1988, he was asked if he'd ever play Bond again. His response was: "I think one is too old, same as Roger was. And I think Timothy Dalton does ...very well."
Guildford is my nearest Odeon and I wish I'd been able to go. Unfortunately I start work at 6am weekdays. I did see 4 of his films last week though. Glad there was a good turn out.
I just returned, too. I was reminded of not only how much charisma RM had, but also how much better Bond films are on the big screen. TSWLM was especially terrific. FYEO plays much, much better, but I still found it plagued by missteps.
In all, a terrific evening.
I believe that the two films will screen again on June 4th.
I think Sean Connery is on to something when he says Dalton didn't project as much danger as Bond. That said, what Connery considers a weakness I consider a strength: Dalton feels real and down-to-earth, and when he gets in a hairy situation, I feel much more for him than, say, Daniel Craig --who may play a more emotionally vulnerable Bond, but still is damn threatening and can't help but feel in command of things-- or even Connery himself. I root for Dalton in a different way than the others. He's like my surrogate on the screen.
Sorry for derailing the thread a bit. I'll just finish by saying that Roger Moore is, without a doubt, the Bond that feels the most like a hero!
