THE last James Bond movie has been rubbished – by the man who played him the longest.

Sir Roger Moore, who appeared in seven Bond films, said the 2008 blockbuster Quantum of Solace was too long with a shaky plot.

When asked about current Bond Daniel Craig’s most recent outing as 007, he said: “I didn’t like the last Bond film, it was like a long, disjointed commercial.”

In a speech to students at the Cambridge Union last week, Sir Roger also revealed how he always had trouble deciphering his predecessor Sean Connery’s Scottish accent.

He said: “Sean is a good actor, it’s a pity I can’t understand what he’s saying.”
Sir Roger, who last played the secret agent in 1985’s A View To A Kill and is the longest-serving Bond actor, told students the best thing about playing 007 for 12 years was “being paid on Fridays”.

Sir Roger said his “favourite Bond girl” was his fourth wife Kristina Tholstrup, 71, a Danish-Swedish multi-millionaire who was listening in the audience.

He then revealed that Johnny Depp is his favourite contemporary actor. But he added: “I just wish he would change his name to something I can remember.”

Sir Roger (shakes head) always showing up late for every war.

Essentially the same as above however a minor difference is he praises Craig then dishes on the infomercial. Roger does talk about his desire to be a actor in O’Toole's class.

Despite evident pride in his seven-film tenure as Bond, Moore often leans towards self-deprecation. Perhaps the part felt a little lightweight in comparison to the Shakespearean heroics of many of his contemporaries; indeed he was destined for a career in the theatre, having performed at the Cambridge Arts Theatre in the 1940s, and attended RADA, before being ‘seduced by MGM’ and pursuing a life on screen.

I ask if any dream roles had passed him by: “I’d have loved to have played Lawrence of Arabia, and I’d have loved to have been as talented as Peter O’Toole.” On his predecessor, Sean Connery, whose portrayal of Bond is a constant source of comparison, Moore remarks, “Sean is a good actor; it’s a pity I can’t understand what he’s saying.”

nobody liked Qos except a few shills, even Craig takes a go at it now. They might not use the shky cam but i think they are going for a lot of crap emo stuff that will be as bad as the stuff in Qos .
