Sure I think a bit of both perspectives are necessary, so I propose this scenario.
What did they find when they got to the moon?
Check the paintings that Buzz did of the moon, full of color and beauty, but that is not what we saw in the pics and footage, but that is what he remembered it looking like.
They got alot of money for the moon program, if something or someone didn't want us to go back to the moon, then they would be more inclined to fake the last moon shots. With the advent of space odyssey and new filming techniques at the time, maybe they did fake the last ones.
They did see some anomalies that we can't explain. They did also ping the moon and it rang like a hollow barrell.
So I am of belief that we did go to the moon, then they did a bunch of goofy filming that is faked to keep the money coming in.
But the big question remains, if they did fake a bunch of it because they couldn't go back to the moon, why?
Note: A private company is building a moon orbiter to be launched soon. It will take many high res pics of the front and back lems, as well as drop a time capsule of earth items.

Oh by the way, maybe the Russians couldn't go back to the moon either. See these from their Lunokhod Rover mission
