An average movie

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.
