His hand to hand fights always looked telegraphed and awkward, stiff and clunky. It seemed like we really didn't get good, brutal, down and dirty Bond fights (we're if Bond was getting his ass kicked, he didn't have to resort to tricking the bad guys like Roger Moore did with Kriegler) again until the gear room battle between Pierce Brosnan and Sean Bean in GoldenEye.
shareRoger Moore said it himself, his interpretation of the character was that of a “lover.” Daniel Craig’s was a “killer.” You’re not going to get a realistic kill or be killed performance out of Moore.
The problem was Moore was too old, he should have had a few Bond films, not seven. In most of his fight scenes, he looks like how you would imagine a Grandpa would fight.
shareCraig was certainly more convincing in the fight scenes. Moore was pretty smooth with the ladies and good with the humor.
I think Moore's take was correct.
