Roger Moore
This archive collects the films featuring Roger Moore reviewed at Master of Worlds — 7 titles spanning “A View to a Kill (1985)”, “For Your Eyes Only (1981)”, “Live and Let Die (1973)”, “Moonraker (1979)”, “Octopussy (1983)”, “The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)”, and “The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)”. Seen together they form a substantial cross-section of Roger Moore’s screen work, and the reviews approach them as storytelling first. The questions are consistent — what the performance asks of the audience, how it serves the structure of the film, and what holds up on a second or third viewing. Watching one actor across this many roles makes the craft legible in a way a single film cannot: the recurring instincts, the range, the choices that separate a memorable performance from a forgettable one. The collection is curated rather than exhaustive, built from films reviewed in depth at Master of Worlds, and it grows as further titles are added.
