Moore was the best Bond

In my opinion, I think Roger Moore is the best James Bond, simply because he has the charm in which Bond should have. Also, he was very good at playing a humorful Bond and very good with the one liners. He was the perfect MOVIE James Bond. I think either Connery or Dalton are more close to Fleming's Bond. However, Moore's last movie should've been Octo*****. In this one, he just simply looks too old. He I believe was in his mid 50's when he made this movie, but he looked more like he was in his 60's which made it even harder to believe that he could pull off the stunts in which James Bond has to perform in a movie. However, since his humor and charm still shine through in this movie, I can't rip on him too much. The person however I can rip on the most though is Tanya Roberts. She is an awful actress, especially in this movie. I think she is the worst Bond girl because of this and we had almost a repeat performance with Denise Richards in The World Is Not Enough. As a matter of fact, they are basically the same ditsy character but with different names. However, they do look very good when they act, so you can almost forgive them. Last but not least is Christopher Walken. He is one of the best James Bond villians as of yet, simply because his character is crazy and his performance of this really shines through. How many villians in the series have viciously killed their own henchman? Even though this movie is flawed here and there, I still enjoyed the movie. Its a lot of fun, but its not one of the better 007 movies.
