Roger Moore
Sir Roger Moore is calling on movie bosses to inject "a little humour" into the next James Bond movie - because Quantum Of Solace was too serious.
Daniel Craig made his second outing as 007 in the 2008 blockbuster, but the film was largely panned by critics.
Moore is convinced a more humorous script for the next Bond picture will impress viewers like in the days he played the sauve superspy.
He tells Britain's Daily Express, "It (Quantum of Solace) wasn't a great film by any means and the series does now really need a little humour again, as that is part of the charm of Bond."
The 23rd Bond movie was put on hold earlier this year (10) after the MGM film studio fell into debt, but fans were given hope this week (begs01Nov10) when company bosses announced a landmark deal to rescue the firm's finances.
Despite Moore's criticism of Qantum of Solace the movie went on to gross in excess of $586 million at the global box office, the second highest grossing Bond movie behind Casino Royale.
Production on Bond 23 is suspended indefinitely due to MGM's current financial troubles.
