Roger Moore
-
The coolest smoothest
Best looking lasted the longestFilms were the best
-
He did the most, unmatched with the quippy one-liners, movies had the best scripted plots, generally underappreciated in the role. Also he started at age 46, Connery was done by age 42; Moore has aged much better.
-
Roger Moore brought a boyish, sexy charm to the role. He’s my favourite.
-
Sir Roger Moore because I grew up watching his bond movies and my favourite bond film was “The Spy Who Loved Me”
-
Roger Moore and Sean Connery are hands down the two best Bonds.But between the two I pick Roger Moore.Whether you liked The Man With the the Golden Gun or not(which I did)you have to admit his acting was amazing in that film as well as others.
-
Roger Moore, was much closer to the character on Ian Flemming’s novels. Yes ultimately he was an assassin but relied on his whits, his humor his ability to get out of a corner without always having to use force. After all he wasn’t a superhero but the best spy with a license to kill. Also, rumor has it that he was ranked higher than Sean when they were casting. (The studio wanted Cary Grant or Dave Niven). Of course Sean started it all so in my humble opinion they are equal.

Id like to see how many people wouldve liked sean connery had he played bond second during the 70s with the over-the-top scripts like diamonds are forever which is considered to be connery’s weakest mgm bond movie (never say never again notwithstanding). Roger moore had to follow up the “original” bond by becoming the best bond. He was classy and funny. sean had the LUCK of getting scripts like goldfinger. When a no-name australian like lazenby can just step in and play bond in a good movie like “on her majesty’s secret service”, they basically could have got anyone to do it in the 60s with critical acclaim. Roger moore excelled while having to deal with the producers scratching for more ideas and responding to movies like star wars.
-
Because he was a natural gentlemen not force like conery the brutt who tried to fit in to the role.
-
Instant descriptive words that hit me like a train when I think of Roggy as Bond: Witty, charming, humorous, sentimental, seductive, ruthless, smart, experienced, arrogant at times, british, a little misogynistic at times, serious and extremely attractive. Everything that bond should be. As well as this, Fleming actually asked for him to play the role where as Sean Connery only fit it after seeing his partner’s reaction to him. I found Moore exceptional to watch, in fight scens, love scenes, confrontational scenes, serious scenes and the light hearted scenes. Also, any blame Moore cops fromhis Bond films comicality is actually the script writers and directors fault.
Does a Roger Moore half-smile*

Roger is no doubt my favorite Bond, for several reasons.
In addition to giving the character a very friendly, unlike his predecessor, Connery, who still love but too rough.
In his films, but also gave irony decision and beautiful action scenes with extreme elegance!! w moore !!!!!!!!!!PS = sorry for my English, I’m Italian and I’m using an online translator
-
roger moore is the best bond – he is cool, funny and a great ladies man – he is my idea of a Bond not Sean Connery who was way too serious and boring
-
Why?
the most elegant,suave and well spoken man on earth -
As an actor, he knew his limitations and didn’t overplay the part of James Bond. The character and the 007 world is very ridiculous at times so to keep a tongue in cheek and do it as effectively as he did is important. Plus he had more style and charm.
-
Watch the Spy who loved me. He’s a real Brit.
-
Roger Moore wins hands down. I am reading a lot of silly reasons why Connery was the best & they are not consice answers. Roger used his wit, charm, sarcasm & cheekyness.
-
i pick roger moore because he is funny and suits well with the chracter of james bond HE has style i like connery too but roger moore the best
-
Rpger Moore is the best , but Connery is the only BOND 007
-
He portrayed Bond in a more humorous way and was more polished and more accessible to a wider audience. Connery had a cold portrayal of the character, was more of a womanizer
-
He was magnetic and his Bond films are by and large far more watchable and entertaining. Connery was a great Bond, but Moore was pure escapism. Just what Bond should be.
-
He has more appeal as 007.I found him to hold my interest more,but it is really close .I will say Roger is my favorite Bond
-
First of all they’re both legends to me but i would go for Roger Moore because he’s a natural playboy he’s got lovely jokes and he just seems to be the one that comes closest to Ian Fleming’s original concept of James bond, remembering that one of Ian’s biggest inspirations for Bond was Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.
-
Because he’s the suavest, handsomest and driest of the James Bonds, and also the most identified with the role.
-
Because he brings more life to the character, he’s more gentle. Sean connery is too grey…
-
No-one else can wear a safari suit with the same degree of casualty as Sir Roger.
-
although a hard choice,I do prefer Roger Moore.He holds my intention much more.His films are not so heavy and he brings alot of charm to the role,. but he also uses his “license to kill when he has to”,.Everyone has their favorite bond film.Mine are Octopussy and From Russia with love.Moore really hit his stride with with” The spy who loved me”:
-
Made the part his own when others felt the franchise should die with Connery. Plus he’s bloody English!!!
-
Quite simply… he personified the total Bond package: brute, charm, wit, and above all sense of humor. A better more enjoyable Bond. I like Connery. But Roger Moore was/is STILL the best
Bond ever…………. -
more humour and stlye
-
Moore is the best out of the six b/c of something people believe is a weakness. I think b/c of his light and carefree demeanor, the character of 007 himself is underestimated frequently by key characters in ALL of the Moore films. Unlike all the other actors like Connery, Lazenby, Dalton, Brosnan, and Craig, where you can kind of see them coming as James Bond, Moore’s personality as 007 allows him to slip under-the-radar, and just adds on to the myth of JB.
-
he is a real english gentlemen. he is polite, calm, charming, cool, but also tough and in very good physical shape. connery is too much rough and tough, he is a bull, not a gentlemen. and one needs to be very stupid to even compare him with moore
-
you are the best james bond
-
best looking best actor wittiest funniest longest lasting and on and on ad infinitum.
-
More humor. Best movies. Looked more like a gentleman and less like a bum.
-
best hair
-
Funny and more gentlemanly
-
funny
-
He brought a touch of humor to the character, He was witty, I thought he was the best.
-
Roger Moore is the better bond without a doubt. I don’t know exactly what it is but he has connery beat hands down.
-
Never cared much for this bond. I guess it was because he was the Bond to replace my beloved Sean Connery.
-
Roger Moore looks more like a British Spy.
-
Roger Moore is the best James Bond for me, primarily because he was my “first” James Bond. I watched him in A View to a Kill then searched for his others. I didn’t discover Connery until much later – but I’ll admit, he’s almost won me over now.
Roger Moore is the quintessential British gentleman. He has a sophisticated, British “air” / persona about him, that fits the role of James Bond perfectly. He can hold his own in a fist fight, effectively defend himself, but nonetheless, he’s still a well polished, smooth, intelligent, British gentleman.
He was a middle aged man, in his mid-late 40s when he first got the role, which gives the impression he’s an experienced agent and of course he’s also a good looking man, which only adds to his charm.
Sean Connery is a great actor, and in general, I would rather watch a film with Connery than with Moore. If you give me the choice of watching a film that isn’t James Bond, with Moore or Connery, I would rather watch the film with Connery. Sean Connery is one of my favorite, all time actors. Practically every film he’s in is good, in virtue of him just being in it, however…
When it comes to James Bond, I see Connery as just a bit too rough around the edges. His deep Scottish accent, his voice, persona, his look..He’s just not as believable as a British secret agent as Roger Moore is. So I vote for Roger Moore being the best James Bond of all time.
Second would be Pierce Brosnan.
