Always enjoyed his Bond. He brought a bit of humor to the role.

I always thought he was the best Bond not named Connery. Although, in all fairness, I haven't seen any of the newer ones.

While my favorite Bond will always be Sean Connery, I always fully enjoyed Roger Moore's portrayal of this character. As enfield said, Sir Roger brought a humorous wit to the character which enhanced the role.

89 years old. Not a bad life for a 00 agent.

Rest well 007.

Moore > Connery.

He was a talent, but not suited for playing James Bond, too effeminate.

The only worthy Bond movie he made was 'The Man With the Golden Gun'. The rest were crap.

One of my favorite movies that he was in was "Cannonball Run".

As a child Moore was my favorite Bond but then I grew up and realized that Connery was the best followed by Craig (yeah he's a dick but he's a damn good James Bond) followed by Niven (who I think would have been awesome in a straight Bond film and not just a parody), then Brosnan (who probably would have been number 2 or 3 if he would have done it back in the 80s), then Lazenby, then Moore then Dalton (who would have been good if he didn't have the worst scripts of the bunch).

Honestly I prefer Dalton to Moore but if I'm being objective the Dalton films suck for reasons that don't have anything to do with Dalton so I guess too bad for him.

There are times that Moore strikes me as more of a parody of Bond than Niven's Casino Royale (especially the godawful Moonraker, which isn't as good a Bond movie as Austin Powers).

Roger Moore gave the character an aristocratic air. Farewell Mr. Bond.

Wasn't my favorite Bond and felt he made the role a bit too campy for my taste. Seemed like a decent guy.

RIP Roger Moore.

I definitely enjoyed Moore as Bond, he was a very close second to Connery for me. It seems like he's the only one that really made the Bond character something different than what Connery did. Bond went from being a mans man to a ladies man and they threw in some quick witted humor for good measure.

Connery - Moore - Brosnan - Dalton - Lazenby - Craig

I've never cared for the tortured soul direction the Craig films have taken. Spectre and Quantum of Solace are the two worst films of the franchise.

Nowhere near the top of my favorite Bonds although he did a great job with "The Man with the Golden Gun" and "Live and Let Die but he was damned good as the The Saint and spoofing himself on "Cannonball Run".

He will always be my Bond because I was a child of the late 70s / early 80s, and he had all the cool gadgets. Like the little tiny jet and the Lotus submarine. Sean Connery was just some old guy in the long, talkey movies my father liked, such as Dr. No and From Russia with Love. It wasn't until I was much older that I grew to appreciate the other Bonds.

It's hard to say who my least favorite Bond is, although by the numbers, it's probably Pierce Brosnan. Goldeneye was awesome. The World Is Not Enough is one of the worst movies I've ever sat through. Tomorrow Never Dies is a close second.
