Steeler80 asked why I didn't like Spy, and my answer is that it suffers from the same problems as Moonraker: It's designed to appeal to children and goes out of its way to be goofy, campy and cartoonish. Although Moore was also my first Bond, after discovering Connery's more serious and hard-edged approach I have a difficult time taking Moore seriously. He's the Adam West of James Bond's, and the movies that surround him are almost universally silly, with the exception of Your Eyes Only and parts of Octopussy. So there ya go. I want to take Bond seriously, and imagine him as being a real person, as opposed to the tongue-in-cheek comedian we get with Moore.
