Um Roger Moore wasn't old when he became Bond, in the long list of Area 51 investigative worthy comments from you on here over the years that's pretty high. Roger looked great with his Bond girls. He was in the 40s. I am not critiquing that he was picked-just pointing out that he was not young-looking.
Connery was about the same age as him so he was Bond much younger. Moore was a father with a midlife crisis in a movie just a couple of years earlier.
I just think Maxwell was fine for him --they were around the same age in appearance and their chemistry was about the same as between her and Connery. Same with Bernard Lee.
He literally was young looking even in his early 40s. I think you need to rewatch his Bond movies. You're not responding to me in a way that I feel you know or understand who or what you're talking about. |

Someone said that Maxwell was a bad match for him due to age and I don't agree. If she was too old by 1980 so was he. I have no problem with him in the role--just stating that he was older. I never heard anyone disagree before that he was older when he took the role. It's a fact that he was.

I'm a lifelong James Bond fan and in the past ten years or so I've kind of just accepted that right now is as good as things will ever be in the Bond franchise. There are still some Connery hold outs, but the general consensus is that Daniel Craig is the quintessential James Bond. Not only is he the best actor to ever play the role, he's the most physically fit and believable in the role. Also, just look at the movies in the Craig tenure. Casino Royale is really becoming the general consensus best movie in the franchise, sure, we can chalk Quantum of Solace up to just being an extended epilogue more than a stand alone movie, but then there's Skyfall, another that's generally in peoples top fives, and then Spectre, which has been a grower over the years and probably in my top ten. Honestly after No Time To Die, I don't know how interested I am in this franchise without Craig, and the general path carved out by Martin Campbell and Sam Mendes. I feel Amazon would have to go the auteur route and hire Christopher Nolan or Quentin Tarantino and give them complete control for me to even get a hint of excitement. I'll give you Daniel Craig being the best stuntman Bond ever but to a drunk with very little knowledge of Bond is he the "best actor to have played the role" don't get it twisted. You think he's fit and that's fine, but don't over extend yourself into thinking he's a butch Lawrence of Arabia because he sure as fuck isn't. I've had encounters with you before, you're deranged and have nothing interesting or coherent to say. You'll be on my ignore list by time you read this.
