Roger Moore as James Bond

In May 2020, I watched the eighth movie to the fourteenth one in the 007 series on TV. The movies were released between 1973 and 1985. All of them star Roger Moore who was 46 to 58 years old.

The movie series depicts the activities of James Bond, an intelligence officer in the Secret Intelligence Service. I do not feel comfortable when he never changes color even just after he killed someone, but I think that I had better take it easy because it is just an entertainment.

As well as Sean Connery as Bond, Roger Moore as Bond frequently gets laid but he does not appear wilder. He looks to be a handsome, dandy, humorous and sophisticated English gentleman who makes witty jokes many time. I want to be a nice joker like him, however, my jokes only make people around me smile wryly always. He is three years senior to the Scottish actor. When I knew it, I was surprised. Handsome guys look younger. I like Moore as Bond better than the first and second James Bonds.

I felt that the tenth movie and the following four ones were not so old-fashioned, though many people might feel that they are still outdated. Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me was 50 years old but he looked in his thirties. The tenth movie was released in 1977. I still love the first one in the Star Wars series released in the same year. Action movies released in the late 1970s and later seem to be able to entertain me. In terms of car action, the Wild Speed series is far more exciting, which is natural because it has been produced since 2001. I also felt that Roger Moore in the thirteenth and fourteenth movies lost his youth, which could not be helped because the English actor was 56 years old in Octopussy. By the way, Tom Cruise was at the same age in Mission: Impossible – Fallout and he was running, running and running in it. He was super physical for his age.

As for the Bond girls, I loved to watch the three beauties, Jane Seymour in Live and Let Die, Lois Chiles in Moonraker and Carole Bouquet in Your Eyes Only.
