Roger Moore-Just Take Your Pension!!

It was, simply, just a mediocre movie all the way around. Roger Moore was way too old. One day, as I was sitting at my house with my friend, I was flipping through the channels on the TV while he was talking to me. I saw "View To A Kill" on one of the channels. Even my friend, who had only seen maybe one Bond movie in his life (a Brosnan movie), asked how a guy that looked as old as his grandpa could play someone like Bond. He had this image in his mind of someone like Bond, and geriatric Roger Moore went against it. And one other thing. I read something in a newspaper maybe a year ago that "Pierce Brosnan is too old in the eyes of the producers. The 51-year old's license to kill was revoked." Pierce Brosnan is too old to play Bond at AGE 51. Obviously, the same didn't apply a 58-Year-Old Roger Moore in this movie. And Brosnan was a better Bond than Roger Moore. Roger Moore seemed like, out of all the Bond, he made his movies seem like comedies. These aren't comedies! These are Bond movies! And one last thing-to all you people who dislike Timothy Dalton as Bond-like it or not, Timothy Dalton was, by far, the most realistic Bond out of all the guys who have played Bond thus far. And he was, BY FAR, the guy who portrayed the literary James Bond the closest. If you Dalton haters would pick up one of the Bond novels and do some ACTUAL reading (which it seems like is very tough for many people in today's society to do), you would figure this out. I'm not saying Dalton was the greatest cinematic Bond ever, but he certainly does have those other two things working in his favor. |
