Lucas t Man I love Live and Let Die, while it's not the best of Bond films it still delivers an entertaining entry into the franchise, and a tremendous start for Roger Moore as James Bond. One of the stunts in this film blows my mind, it's the one where Bond runs across Crocodiles, whenever I watch it I always wonder how many takes it took the stunt double to do it. The chase sequences in this film are brilliant, oh and J.W. Pepper, is the funniest character in the whole franchise, change my mind, overall very solid film, not much I don't like, 8.3/10. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Adi 1 While there aren't any specific flaws in live and let die, it also doesn't have anything which makes it memorable besides the crocodile jump scene and the fact that it gave us Roger Moore as bond. Overall, mediocre bond at best. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Guy Hamilton's profuse apology for the previous film, Live and Let Die comes out swinging and starts Roger Moore's tenure as 007 off with a bang. It's as upbeat and jazzy as it is dry and sarcastic, the film is often punctuated by a quizzically raised eyebrow while cleverly balancing the usual spy shenanigans with blaxploitation clichés. There's a great deal of energy injected into the filmmaking, with some fast-paced, brilliantly photographed and genuinely exhilarating action, Guy Hamilton redeems himself after his rather lazy effort only one film prior; while Tom Mankiewicz's script is brilliantly funny and endlessly entertaining, it's a great example of Bond's adaptability to pop culture, allowing him to flourish even in the most unlikely circumstances. Roger slips perfectly into the role of Bond with ease, marking himself out as a different entity from Connery's portrayal entirely, oozing endless amounts of wit, charm and charisma making it all seem so effortless. The rest of the cast is all genuinely well performed, it even has the best Felix Leiter in the entire series, with plenty of other small but memorable roles populating the film. With John Barry unavailable and the hiring of Paul McCartney to sing the legendary title song, George Martin steps up to the table and delivers one of my favourite scores of the entire series; far less brassy than Barry's efforts, instead incorporating elements of rock and funk that while of its time offer a unique sound while incorporating the usual elements you've come to expect from a Bond soundtrack. With a much lighter tone that works very much in its favour and filled to the brim with action, deduction and plenty of seduction, Live and Let Die is a terrific transitional Bond film, reinventing 007 for a new decade ahead.

And don't forget the soundtrack. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Tony S Roger Moore's debut as 007, and a wonderful debut it is. Plot turns, a car chase like no other, and a boat chase that tops the car chase. Villainous enemies, inept law enforcement personnel, and a damsel in distress. Bond is a savior figure in this one. A captivating movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
