Roger Moore's tenure is very contentious within the fanbase, with many accusing his films of being overly goofy and jokey. But there are still two that just about everyone likes, this one and For Your Eyes Only, largely because they're comparatively serious (and keep in mind we're talking about a movie with a giant invincible guy with metal teeth, so just imagine what the others are like). Also notable is that Moore was actually three years OLDER than Sean Connery, which naturally meant he was already at the upper edge of being age-appropriate for the role when he started, but he was just so naturally suave and debonair they couldn't resist casting him. He'd also been friends with Moneypenny's actress Lois Maxwell in school, lending their banter a quite delightful realism.

Oh, yes, this is peak, 1970's vintage cheese, absolutely... But note how less sexist this is - Bond isn't actually slapping women any more! (sarcasm). Like Ryan says Moore's bond films cover such a long run there are various problems that happened - the corny chat-up lines did get toned down toward the eighties, but this was off-set by Roger Moore being so obviously older than his leading ladies even Moore commented how creepy that started to be. Also, and you see bits of this even here, the producers started to inexplicably put in very, very silly comedy moment - especially, it seems, during the best of the stunt scenes. One of the best car stunts ever filmed in cinema was in a Moore Bond movie - and was completely ruined by slapping a silly slide whistle effect over it. Likewise, another, later sking scenes features some spectacular early skiboarding - actually done by the man who invented the sport - and this is ruined with playing a cover version of a beach boys song over it. And that guy on the beach doing the thing with the wine bottle when he see's Bond's car emerge from the water? That guy does the same joke in two more Bond movies. Finally, ths is topped off by a scene in one of the last, which starts of fascinatingly at Tracey Bond's grave, features a spectacular helicopter stunt sequence... and finishes with simply one of the most bizarre lines in cinema history at its climax "We can do a deal Mr Bond! I'll buy you a delicatessen! In stainless steel!!!" . By this point, Moore was visibly too old to play to role, the jokes had worn realy thin, the age gap between Bond and the women had become super icky - and the whole thing was tired beyond belief.. Role on Timothy Dalton to take the series last gasp before it was rebooted.

Oh and your comments on the sexism 'I think all the James Bond fans are going to hate me'. Not at all - I can only speak for myself, but I was probably eight or nine when I first saw this movie, and, you know, all the explosions, the funky music and freaking submarine car - of course I fell in love with it. But the smug, cheesy lines Moore is delivering are monotonous (in the literal sense) at best, and mostly tedious. As I said above, by this point the filmmakers have removed most of Flemming's violence toward women, but that's just left the attitudes of irrelevance and overwhelming condescension from Bond. This does, occasionally (and only occasionally) improve in other Moore Bond movies, but it never really vanishes.

One of the reasons I was looking forward to pledging on Patreon was it would finally give me a reason to watch some of the old James Bond movies. They're very uncomfortable to watch and I'm getting second-hand embarrassment from the reactions. I knew Sean Connery's Bond had a reputation for being forceful (to put it mildly) but figured once we got into the Roger Moore era, it'd be more palatable. It really isn't.
