But the adventure and man-you-wanted-to-be charisma was not there, whereby Indy did fit that bracket, thus, filling the void. Dalton, was miscast, and his serious Bond (that I think Daniel Craig lives up to) was wrong as we were not out og the eighties yet and we wanted the comedy back! Dalton and Moore had their purpose but, looking back, Indiana Jones had the edge on adventure fiulms between 1981 and 1989simoncolumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027922399726786918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836661004273915348.post-28726644512983571852009-06-10T23:59:38.861+01:002009-06-10T23:59:38.861+01:00Insult Roger Moore at your peril.

It is undeniable that with Moore at the helm the franchise continued its success, and it wasn't until the casting of Dalton in the role (a far superior actor, but tragically miscast) that the films really missed Moore. View To A Kill was pathetic though.

The only one that is mildly exciting is the third one (Last Crusade?) because it has a hot Nazi and Sean Connery. I never saw the fourth one but it sounds like people finally cottoned on and asked; 'why am I swallowing this shit?'<br /><br />And Harrison Ford is the most overrated actor in the universe. He is the very definition of wooden. He has one look, slightly pissed off. I can't think of a single good film he has done yet he's apparently been in some of the most commercially successful films ever.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779265264692198309noreply@blogger.com
