Niven would have made a great Bond in the 40s, maybe the early 50s. He's fantastic in A Matter of Life and Death.

Roger Moore isn't terrible, he just got stuck with mostly garbage scripts with dumb poo poo like this:

one of the most insanely incredible car stunts ever filmed, bookended by awfulness and poo poo all over by a moron sound editor

The Moore movies are also saddled with the really abysmally slow pacing of 1970s movie making, you could probably cut like 35-40 minutes out of most of his Bond movies (Moonraker especially) and you wouldn't be losing anything of value. I'll fight anyone that says A View to a Kill isn't 100% amazing though

The way Live and Let Die tries so hard and fails at dipping its toes in the blaxploitation genre is one reason why the movie sucks. Worse that they waste an excellent actor like Yaphet Kotto.

It also makes you wish they had just let American International or someone actually adapt a James Bond novel with a black James Bond.


At least any time Geoffrey Holder is on screen is gold.

I disagree. The way Live and Let Die tries so hard and fails at being a blaxploitation movie is why it is good.

Roger Moore proved that nobody should be Bond longer than five movies. He's fine, but it becomes pretty old hat by the end, and you can tell he and the producers were phoning it in in later episodes.

Brosnan was all cheesy action and silly gadgets but then The Bourne Identity came out and the entire movie-going public turned against any camp in their super serious spy fictions.

Lazenby only got the job because he lied that he'd been in all sorts of big films in eastern europe and people just took his word for it.

Also controversial opinion quantum of solace is better than skyfall and spectre but only on a second viewing.

Yeah, Brosnan was the worst one. Which is odd, because I think that he isn't a bad actor. Maybe it was just the scripts and the directing which was so utterly sterile and tedious.

Brosnan was actually a v good bond just on him alone, with the absolute worst dogshit movies (except goldeneye). purvis & wade are cancer and yes, the directing on pretty much all his movies were god awful too.

he deserved a lot better movies than he actually got

You are batshit crazy. Everything else you said was on the money, but this is so goddam wrong it invalidates all opinions you will ever have for the rest of your life.


But seriously, Moonraker was bad on par with those awful live action Saturday morning non-cartoon shows from the 80's.

Everyone always built up Moonraker to be horrible and it's really not that bad. It's ridiculous but it's kinda good. Just don't go comparing it with From Russia With Love or anything.

Live and Let Die is pretty pretty bad though.
