Director: John Glen
An uneasy blend of comedy and action with aspirations of offering tongue-in-cheek callbacks that resulted in an awkward self-parody, Octopussy was certainly not shy of experimenting with the Bond formula. However, it struggled to find many aspects that worked. Plodding along at an at-times painfully slow pace, it tracks Bond's investigation into a shady circus operation that turns out to be harboring a nuclear threat. The second last of Moore's Bond films, Octopussy failed to resonate with au...

Roger Moore's Bond era got off to a fast start with 1973's Live and Let Die; sadly, the franchise couldn't maintain that rejuvenated momentum with its sequel. Bloated with narrative fluff and a misguided sense of tradition, The Man with the Golden Gunstruggled to find a spark as Moore drew criticism for his uninspired performance, unable to elevate the largely bland script. Also bogged down by a lack of inventiveness, an underwhelming array of gadgets, and glaring chauvinism (even for its tim...

While an improvement on Octopussy, Moore's farewell to the Bond franchise wasn't exactly an outing to remember. Following 007's investigation into a mad industrialist's scheme to destroy Silicon Valley, A View to a Kill was yet another underwhelming entryfor what was a dwindling Bond franchise. Still, it was at least willing to embrace the self-parody that had crept into the saga, adding some points to its overall score. The film wasn't helped by an almost 60-year-old Moore's efforts to deliv...

How does one even begin to summarize and evaluate an action movie as ridiculous as Moonraker? The most narratively ambitious Bond movie to date, its blending of spy movie mayhem with elevated accents of end-of-the-world science-fiction villainy made for a highly theatrical experience. Moonrakercould be either praised for its gonzo ambition or panned for its ludicrous plot. Following Bond as he investigates a hijacked space shuttle, most of the film transpires in space as an immensely powerful...
Director: John Glen
The immediate successor to Moonraker, it is plain to see the producers wanted to abandon the franchise's erring toward science-fiction fantasy and return to its roots. Thus, For Your Eyes Only is one of Moore's most grounded and somber Bond movies, with its entertainment value steeped in espionage thrills, blockbuster action, and underlying themes of revenge. It follows Bond as he searches for a missing weapons command system with help from the vengeful daughter of a murdered marine archeolog...
Director: Guy Hamilton
Not only a sensational Bond debut for Roger Moore, but the film that proved the Bond franchise could thrive in life after Connery, Live and Let Die successfully ushered in a new era for 007. Set largely in New York City and New Orleans, it follows Bond as he investigates the deaths of fellow British agents, leading him to the small Caribbean Island of San Monique. Moore immediately made an impression with a slightly different take on Bond—one that boasted a nonchalant wit and an elevated sens...

The best of Roger Moore's Bond films is The Spy Who Loved Me. It showcases so many integral elements of an old-school Bond movie being done incredibly well. The action is scintillating, the story lively and pacy, it boasts one of the franchise's best Bond girls, and, while its major villain isn't the most striking antagonist, it introduced Richard Kiel as the iconic evil henchman, Jaws. It also features a truly incredible Bond theme, thanks to Carly Simon's talents. The Spy Who Loved Me is al...

- The Spy Who Loved Me. The Spy Who Loved Me is one of the few Bond films that works as a genuine romance. Bond teams up with the Russian secret agent XXX (Barbara Bach) in an adventure that forces both of them to question their decision to work as killers.
- Live and Let Die. Moore’s first entry in the series was Live and Let Die, a film that felt totally unique with its Louisiana setting and the incorporation of voodoo.
- Moonraker. Oddly enough, Fleming’s original novel Moonraker is one of the best, most tightly crafted books in the series. However, science fiction films were incredibly popular in the wake of Star Wars’ success, and Moonraker was transformed into the most overtly sci-fi installment in the Bond series.
- A View to a Kill. A View to a Kill was Moore’s last film as Bond, and it somehow managed to be even goofier than Octopussy. The ridiculous story revolves around the insane industrialist Max Zorin (Christopher Walken), who plans to use his flying blimp to destroy Silicon Valley.
- The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) The Spy Who Loved Me is not only Moore's best 007, it's one of the best in the series. The film is overloaded with iconic moments, from Bond's Union Jack parachute, the introduction of Bond henchman Jaws (Richard Kiel), Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" theme, 007's submarine car and much more.
- Live And Let Die (1973) Moore's 007 debut was Live And Let Die (which Anthony Hopkins rejected) and it set itself apart from the Connery movies by ejecting aside elements such as a Q scene or Vodka Martinis.
- Moonraker (1979) Moonraker is a divisive Bond entry. It's either seen as a series nadir due to being "Bond in Space! ," or one of Moore's most purely enjoyable entries.
- For Your Eyes Only (1981) For Your Eyes Only signaled a shift in Moore's era. His previous two outings brought Bond's success to new heights - literally, in Moonraker's case - but the reliance on gadgets, special effects and world-destroying villain schemes threatened to overwhelm the series.
