One Film too late...

Unfortunately, Roger Moore ended his Bond career, one film too late. Octo***** would have been an incredible farewell performance, as it is easily regarded as one of his best roles... but instead, he came back one more time.
Not that his acting the role was too stale, or that his supporting cast (except Christopher Walken) seemed to just be walking through, I just don't think Moore thought he should be there. Many a time he said he felt he was 'too long in the tooth' to be romancing these much younger characters... and it showed.
This film was my first theatrical Bond film. I'd seen the ABC's Sunday night films, such as 'From Russia..', 'Octo*****' and even 'Never Say Never Again', but this was the first in theatre experience. For a 9 year old kid, it was awesome. As I got older and more into Bond and his adventures, it was sad, to know I was introduced to Moore's lesser performance. |
