Here's a thought about the Bond films. I'm 50 now so I sort of grew up with it all. Everyone has their favorite films, Bonds, women, etc. and Bond fans can be a pretty critical bunch. What I noticed about myself anyway, was that after OHMSS (my favorite), no matter how silly they got, there were always things in each one that made the experience worthwile. It did start to seem like you went just for the one or two good parts, but Roger Moore running on the backs of aligators or Timothy Dalton waterskiing behind the plane, or...or...well I'm sure Pierce did something good...Those things were pretty fantastic! I'll also admit that I enjoy Roger Moore. I don't think the series would have survived some of those awful films if not for his... Roger Moore-ness. (Can you see even Connery saving something like Moonraker?)

I've always thought it was unfair to blame the actor for the films they were in. they didn't write them or direct them. What do you guys think?
