Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately re-established Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good 70s. Live and let Die also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh




Rating: - an average but exciting and mysterious Bond film
Roger Moore's debut as secret agent 007 is intriguing and exciting as he portrays the infamous James Bond in a very charming and secretive way, more so than Connery who was very professional and more rugged in his role. I'm personally a bigger fan of Connery and Brosnan but Moore still does the role justice in this 1973 adventure about Bond trying to track down a fate believing drug lord.

The plot is slightly confusing the first half an hour in or so but once speed boats, helicopters, ... Read More

Rating: - A NEW ERA OF 007
After Sean Connery departed from the series after a career making turn as suave British agent James Bond, producer Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Satlzman found themselves in need of a new actor to fill Connery's shoes as 007. Their decision was Roger Moore, although no Sean Connery has proved himself to be a more than adequate replacement, playing a different type of Bond with a strong streak of humour next to Sean Connery's more gritty and serious Bond. Moore's approach to the character works well ... Read More

Rating: - A little funked up for the new decade
Roger Mores debut is a politicaly incorrect comic book yarn that borows and heavly dilutes aspects of shaft etc all , , 99% of the black characters in the film are your average seventies african american negative sterotype and would not be out of place in a cartoon as examplifeld by Mr Big bursting.
However the plot moves along at a rapid fire pace and the US locations give the film' s a belivable grity contempary feel that had been mising from the prevous Bond films .
Moore come a ... Read More

Rating: - Surprisingly good... no excellent!!!
Although no fan of Roger Moore in his well known series 'The Saint', his charm, humour and resourcefulness as Bond are very satisfying. Live and Let Die, one of Fleming's more tedious and boring novels, as well as being controversial, was turned into something different and brought to life due to the excellent screenplay writing skills of Tom Mankiewicz. Guy Hamilton's directing is fantastic as before in the excellent 'Goldfinger'.

Though different with some ... Read More
