And even gave two of his best performances (FYEO, OP) toward the end of his tenure, in my opinion.
I agree. {[]
From the biggest RM fans to Blackleiter, I've noticed that many AJBers rate FYEO and OP as the highest. I find this interesting since Roger looked much younger and more believable in the first 4 films. Obviously that's not the only factor, but it a large reason why I rank all of the first 4 higher than FYEO and OP.
And for those who praise FYEO and OP, why so harsh on Moore's age in AVTAK? I mean if you're willing to let it slide on the other two…
To be honest Moore's age in AVTAK never bothered me. I saw AVTAK when I as 16
The age of the actor never bothered me.What concerns me more is the sheer ageism going against him.

Actually I think it's more about how Roger moves and handles himself in the fight/action scenes than it is about his age. For example, Connery was pretty much the same age as Moore when NSNA and OP were released, but to me Connery looks much more believable in action than Roger Moore. Also, the stunt work appears to be better and less obvious with other Bond actors than with Moore. As to why I rank FYEO and OP higher than AVTAK, in my opinion they are overall better films, and Roger's acting is some of the best he has done in the series.

He looks identical in TMWTGG and TSWLM to me..and at his peak. Moonraker ever so slightly older, but still dashing.
I would rank:
LALD: 1
TMWTGG: 2
TSWLM: 2
MR: 3
FYEO: 7
OP: 7.5
AVTAK: 8
