>He was the funniest Bond.

He was too funny. He made the Bond movies tongue in cheek, and campy. That isn't what Bond is supposed to be. I read the Ian Fleming books as a kid and there wasn't any humor in them. Sean Connery injected a little humor and personality into the Bond character and that was cool, but Roger Moore was doing too much.

The Roger Moore films were too much like parodies of a spy film, like Flint, Matt Helm or Get Smart.
