Live and Let Die Reviews

While not the best Bond movie, this is one of the better Roger Moore Bond movies in my opinion. It isn't a masterpiece, but as an introduction for Roger Moore as 007 it ain't half bad.

Yes it is overlong, yes the story is frantic and yes the villain's scheme could have done with more development. Not to mention the fact that Dr Kananga's death is probably the silliest yet most epic death in a Bond film.

But it is visually striking, has some cool gadgets, some amusing one-liners, a fun theme song, a sexy Bond girl beautifully played by the lovely Jane Seymour, good direction and a credible turn from Roger Moore as the title character. Personally I consider Sean Connery the best Bond, but Moore doesn't do too bad a job.

In conclusion, a fun and above decent entry in the series. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Honestly, I never really cared about Roger Moore as James Bond. As far as I’m concerned, he was the worst of them, even worse than George Lazenby. Still, I have to admit, some of his James Bond installments were decent, especially the first one he made. Back then, there was a transition between Connery’s version and Moore’s version , so you get some kind of combination of both. As a result, the whole thing was not too much tongue-in-check, a trademark in Moore’s style which I always found really annoying, especially in the later James Bond’s installments starring Moore. So, this movie was pretty fun, there was a very young Jane Seymour who became one of the most memorable James Bond girls and it was pretty neat to see Bond struggling against some Voodoo shenanigans. If I’m not mistaken it is one of the very few Bond installment (maybe even the only one) featuring some supernatural elements. And there is also the huge hit song written by Paul McCartney, the first time a rock song was the theme song for a James Bond feature. To conclude, even though it is far from being one of the best, it is still a decent effort and it is definitely worth effort, especially if you like the genre.

one of 007 best !!
