    It's not that shocking since he was 89.

    I liked Roger Moore, but, 89 isn't a bad innings is it.
    Good as The Saint and Bond.

    RIP.

    Nooooooo!

    I know he was in some of the more naff Bonds (View To A Kill, Octopussy etc), but I loved his style, my second favourite Bond after Daniel Craig

    No, no, no.

    Roger was excellent in the Saint and the Persuaders (loved the theme music) but was absolutely useless as Bond. No comparison to THE Bond, Sean Connery.

    Anyway RIP Roger.

    Aye, The Persuaders as well.
    I agree, not as good as Connery, but, I still liked him as Bond.

    Totally disagree, I loved Moore as Bond, loved the charm and humour he brought to the role, Connery was too much of a cardboard cut out. Likewise Pierce Brosnan, who just channeled Connery and had no personality. I loved the tougher more edgy Bond that Timothy Dalton brought, shame he didn't get more time; Daniel Craig nailed the style that Dalton was going for and was the perfect Bond.

    Moore was just hampered by terrible scripts, The Spy Who Loved Me was the only decent storyline he got, otherwise he had a crappy blaxploitation wannabe (Live And Let Die), a hideous Star Wars rip off (Moonraker), a "what the **** is actually going on?" (Octopussy), a naff comedy (Man With The Golden Gun), and a crappy American TV movie where he had to be a geriatric getting it on with a schoolgirl (A View To A Kill). Give Moore the scripts of Living Daylights and Goldeneye in his prime and it would have been awesome.

    My first Bond movie, Live and Let Die, I saw at the pictures - The Odeon - as a child leaves fond memories of Sir Roger. Favourite Bond thanks to his style and charming lines ...
    RIP Sir Roger.

    Sean Flynn. Wild Geese. The badass level is off the charts. If you've never seen it - watch it immediately.

    Didn't like Moore as Bond but liked him in other films and as a person - a pure gentleman.
