Reviews for Live and Let Die
I know I probably shouldn't like Live and Let Die, but I do. This crackpot entry, the eighth, in the long-running James Bond series, is figuratively all over the map...[Blu-ray]
10/25/08
Guy Hamilton's direction lacks enthusiasm and pace, while even the art direction -- long the Bond films' real secret weapon -- seems to have fallen to a shrunken budget.
10/13/08
Top CriticMoore acquits himself in a larger than life adventure peppered with enjoyably rotten gags and lots of playful action.
10/13/08
It can’t quite muster an explosive third act to match previous jaunts, but Moore had got his feet under the table.
10/13/08
The comic book plot meanders through a series of hardware production numbers.
10/13/08
Top CriticLess macho than Sean Connery's Bond, Moore's fastidiously dressed 007 survives by his wits and injects more humor into the proceedings.
10/13/08
Setting aside an allright speedboat spectacular over land and water, the film is both perfunctory and predictable -- leaving the mind free to wander into the question of its overall taste. Or lack of it.

Top CriticThe supernatural element isn't really Bond
02/07/08
Two hours long and anti-climactic, but Bond fans won't be disappointed.
06/24/06
Theme song by Paul McCartney is best part, but this is also one of Moore's best Bonds.

Live and Let Die has been especially well photographed and edited, and it makes clever and extensive use of its good title song, by Paul and Linda McCartney.
05/09/05
Top CriticIts cheerful racism is overcome by a grand sense of fun and some of Moore's best moments in the franchise.

12/18/04
It doesn't have the wit and it doesn't have the style of the best Bond movies.
10/23/04
Top CriticMoore lacks 007 killer instinct & sex appeal.
