Good move, or bad move?

Non existent.
I think there is a common memory fault which allows people to think Moore was running around like Austin Powers (which ironically was most closely based on the Connery films) rather than the actuality that his films outwith the era defining endings (e.g. "keeping the British end up") were no different to what had come before - in fact the tone of LALD is certainly one of the more muted Bonds...
The one liners were obviously already well established before Moore came into the role..

People forget how his Bond has killed unarmed people in cold blood, like when he lets Sandor fall of the roof in TSWLM or when he kicks Locque's car over a cliff. People forge that Connery's movies have a fair share of humor in them as well. |

The Moore films are different but it's not the change in actors. Watching Diamonds Are Forever it's clearly the direction they wanted to take James Bond.

I personally enjoyed Moore in the role and while he didn't match Connery, he brought a unique take on the character and maintained his enthusiasm for the part longer (IMO Connery was bored in You Only Live Twice). |

I've liked more of his movies than Brosnan's so I guess I didn't mind it that much.

Good. HE is my favourite Bond for number of films I like, and there is still a lot of action, excitement etc even though there is more humour.

Bad, since I seldom actually laughed.
Edit: he's hilarious in Cannonball Run, though.

Good, he's my second favorite Bond next to Connery.
