If you've read the books, it would probably be more clear to you why some like Dalton more than Moore. Moore was the "jokey" Bond, and looked and acted absolutely nothing like his literary counterpart. Also, Moore was never convincing to me in his fight scenes. The Moore/John Glen films were marred by ludicrous plots and set pieces as well. In fact, the only Moore film which I really like is "The Spy Who Loved Me"...which coincidentally, is absolutely nothing like the book.

Agreed again. Spy Who Loved Me was surprisingly decent in parts, especially for a Moore movie.

Moore made Bond a ludicrous franchise, in my opinion. He was so physically unconvincing that his movies became more and more about more and more absurd gadgets and things like boat chases that stunt men could do and went on forever. The rest was fluffed out with as cartoony a bunch of business as could possibly be found, and Moore coming in to chortle at himself on top of it. The real spirit of the Bond stories and character was chucked out completely. It was a miserable degrading of the franchise. One thing you could count on was for Moore to be unexciting.

Moore's version of Bond was kind of like the 60's t.v. show's version of Batman. Except much less fun.
