Reviews
Theme song by Paul McCartney is best part, but this is also one of Moore's best Bonds.
Its cheerful racism is overcome by a grand sense of fun and some of Moore's best moments in the franchise.
Roger Moore's inauspicious screen debut as 007. He had big shoes to fill with Connery gone, and this first of his long series of Bond associations proved less than promising.
Live and Let Die is not only a terrible James Bond flick, it's a terrible movie period.
One of the last great, funky James Bond films before the eighties brought us a tamer, more plastic Bond.
Great stunts and a cool theme song, but the Harlem scenes aren't quite superfly enough for me.
