@@ricardocantoral7672 I think in "The Hill" Sean Connery gave the best performance of his entire career. Here he proved to the world, that he could could do far better than just playing James Bond, and that he was actually a great actor. His desperation at the end of the movie is really heart-breaking.
He got that role because of Bond. Spielberg always wanted to make one, and it was a nice wink to make Bond the father of Indy. He will always be Bond first.
I love Connery’s Bond (although he does look a bit bored in TB and YOLT) but you have to remember this is the actor who starred in DAF. If anything that film is a bigger, far more camp departure from what came before it with Bond. I’d also say NSNA is a film which lacks substance personally.
@@michaeljames4509 Yep. It's actually by design too. Charles Grey as Blofeld, Wint and Kidd, the weirdly bawdy comedy (Blofeld literally dresses in drag at one point). Probably the campiest Bond film by quite a bit actually. MR is a bit stupid at points (and yes, it's very much a film about spectacle), but it generally plays everything straight.
Which is a shame too, because if you've read the books you'll likely agree Moonraker was by far one of the best in the entire series. But he's right, the movie was shyte
He knows he did it for the money and to get back at the producers (as the one befor without him didnt work so they had to rehire him). He was quite open with people about it
Roger Moore was a far better (the best) Bond. Also, Moore never broke character. He never needed to because he WAS like that! The whole concept of Bond is tongue in cheek, from the larger than life villains, to the misogyny and double entendres. To play it with the degree of ‘taking yourself seriousnessly’ that he’s talking about is laughable. To be honest, Connery comes across as churlish and bitter about it here.
Churlish and bitter? I don't see that at all. He was just pointing out what other fans and critics felt, the Bond series just became too absurd. For me, the best Bond movie is From Russia With Love and the best Bond is Connery. I enjoy Roger Moore, and I do think The Spy Who Loved Me was terrific, but I think he had the charm but lacked the edge needed for Bond. I also loved Timothy Dalton as well but he never got the scripts he deserved.
Connery was a bit wooden in James as bond.Sean is a bit jealous. Connery told this that Steven Seagal broke Sean Connery's Wrist as he told the story. . 100% Male chauvinist
@@ricardocantoral7672 Description as wooden is ridiculous. They writer's added levity to the movies when Moore came on in hopes the public would accept him as the new Bond. Connery was perfect as Bond, and Moore did a great job pulling off the vomedy.
RIP to a legend of cinema
From Russia With Love will always be the best Bond movie.
💯 %
Damn right
The most realistic bond film in my opinion
You mean the spy who loved me
@@dreamawake2670 Spy ranks high on my Bond ranking at number 4. That's a very good adventure but it's not the best.
I thought the Man Who would be King was fantastic with Michael Caine
My favourite film the man who would be king
Besides "The Hill" "TMWWBK" was actually Connery's personal favorite of his own movies.
@@gunterangel Both of those movies were awesome. The Hill is my favorite Sidney Lumet film.

Connery was spot on when he said that what Roger did with James Bond was turning it into a caricature.
I grew up with Roger as bond. It probably did move away from the books but Roger made the movies fun and brought appeal to a younger audience
I prefer hard edged Bonds like Connery and Dalton but I understand that people wanted campy romps in the 1970's. Moore was the ideal Bond for his era.
I liked both of them. I think they played to different generations. ❤
Sean is cool even gone.
Sean was absolutely gorgeous. R.i.P Sean Connery
I enjoyed Connery and Moore. They both brought their own style to the role. Both worked.
I loved him and Roger. 🤷🏻♂️
His best role will always be Henry Jones Sr from Last Crusade, IMO.
He got that role because of Bond. Spielberg always wanted to make one, and it was a nice wink to make Bond the father of Indy.
He will always be Bond first.
Roger Moore was the funniest and most entertaining Bond
I think he was the best Bond actor ever
And so called sexy Scot can only dream

Connery said that his era got too "spacey". The spectacle started becoming more important than anything else.
DAF is more campy than Moonraker? 🤔

@@jhjhjhjhjhjhify
I agreed. Diamonds was way more silly. Moonraker is absurd but more of a thriller.
Good in Marnie....Hitchcock film
I'm not sure how far Roger More diverted from the original Bond, but he did a good job as far as I was concerned.
Which is a shame too, because if you've read the books you'll likely agree Moonraker was by far one of the best in the entire series. But he's right, the movie was shyte
Roger Moore was older than Connery, I always thought it was the opposite.
Mr Connery diamonds are forever was not your shining moment as bond either.
He knows he did it for the money and to get back at the producers (as the one befor without him didnt work so they had to rehire him). He was quite open with people about it
Bond is supposed to be a stone cold killer.
A touch of the green eyed monster
Yeh, right...sheesh.
OH get over yourself Mr Connery 🙄 ,,,,,,

Less of a Scottish accent here than when he acted in films. Sounds rather bitter.
He was just being honest. And he wasn’t wrong.

Jealous of what? He quit the role and he could have stayed on for years.

@@stevet7487 I liked Moore, The Spy Who Loved Me in particular. However, he is far behind Connery for me.
Jealous………….😂
