Live and Let Die

Pros: Entertaining movie overall.  Moore does well as Bond.
Cons: Snakes.  Few slower spots.  Did I mention the snakes?

Sean Connery made the character James Bond well known before deciding to leave the series.  He briefly returned to the part for Diamonds are Forever.  The part was recast and Roger ...

Pros: settings, action & chase sequences, balance between the three leads
Cons: slow at some points

In this eighth film in the series of James Bond film, Roger Moore steps up to the plate to take on the role of super-spy James Bond. It features not much of a change in tone, but definitely a different flavor and flair than previous films. Bond seems to ...

Pros: Excellent pre-credit start with lots of down to earth action.
Cons: Lots of superficial 70's stereotypes.

Pros: Atmospheric; two strong action segments; youthful Roger Moore; excellent black character actors; McCartney title song
Cons: Fragmented story; below average Bond girls; Moore finding his way; two dimensional characters

Live and Let Die is important in the Bond series if for no other reason than marking the end of one era and the transition to another. It's one of the most distinctive Bond films and, in a series that numbers twenty or more films (depending on ...

Pros: Moore, Seymour
Cons: some people may not like the voodoo element

"Live and Let Die" hit the big screens in 1973 and was directed by Guy Hamilton. It was his 3rd James Bond movie directing, the first two being "Goldfinger" and "Diamonds are Forever". However, while this is Hamilton's 3rd Bond, it is Roger Moore's ...

Pros: Cast, flavour, setting, song
Cons: J.W. Pepper, Hendry, pacing, makeup

When this film first came out, a lot of people dismissed it since it was Roger Moore and not Sean Connery. The same thing happened to poor George Lazenby in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” . Both Moore and Lazenby as actors pale in ...

Pros: Voodoo, the speedboat chase, Jazz in N'Awlins and Paul McCartneys theme song
Cons: The nailbrush morse communicator is unintentionally funny

Welcome to the eerie world of "Live and Let Die". A film where thanks to voodoo things are never as they seem. This is a film which mixes the traditional Bond film with the occult and black magic. There is a touch of the horror film about "Live and Le ...

Pros: Moore is a good Bond, lots of action. Some great villain characters.
Cons: NO MARTINI!

Moving along in the James Bond series I have finally ended up at Live and Let Die. At the end of the filming of Diamonds are Forever Sean Connery swore that he would NEVER play James Bond again. Because of this the producers had to either...

Pros: Good action
Cons: Unintentional humor

As far as the obligatory James Bond theme song goes, the one here, by Paul McCartney and Wings (not the dreaded four-times-a-day-on-USA sitcom), is by far the best. Also, Live and Let Die brags the accomplishment of having more black people than the...

Pros: Great Movie with New Bond
Cons: Sadistic

Pros: Solid story, Roger Moore is great, Jane Seymour's Solitaire
Cons: Fake Plastic Snakes

Roger Moore begins his thirteen year saga as 007 James Bond with this eight installment of the James Bond Series. Live And Let Die also stars (then ~22 years old) Jane Seymour (of many television movies), Yaphet Kotto, Clifton James and Gloria Hendry....

Pros: Roger Moore, flippant as ever...The delectable Jane Seymour
Cons: A plot mired in the commonalities of the day, drug smuggling...then again, not all Bond films can involve megalomaniacs bent on World destruction...right...?

James Bond is back for number 8...this time in the guise of Roger Moore.

In his debut as Bond, Moore must stop a drug lord from dumping a million pounds of heroin onto the streets of the US...but oh, what he must overcome on the way of doing...
