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).
