Reviews for Live and Let Die
Top CriticI 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
It doesn't have the wit and it doesn't have the style of the best Bond movies.
10/23/04
Top CriticLive 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 CriticGuy 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 CriticA film that ranks with the best Bonds.
08/01/01
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
A true guilty pleasure among Bond films.
01/01/00
Live and Let Die is not only a terrible James Bond flick, it's a terrible movie period.
08/01/03
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.
11/21/03
Where is SPECTRE when you need it?
01/01/00
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.
10/13/08
Top CriticTacky and cartoonish.
03/01/09
The comic book plot meanders through a series of hardware production numbers.
10/13/08
Top CriticThe supernatural element isn't really Bond
02/07/08
Moore acquits himself in a larger than life adventure peppered with enjoyably rotten gags and lots of playful action.
10/13/08
Less 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
Two hours long and anti-climactic, but Bond fans won't be disappointed.
06/24/06
Moore lacks 007 killer instinct & sex appeal.
05/17/04
Theme song by Paul McCartney is best part, but this is also one of Moore's best Bonds.
