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]

Reviews for Live and Let Die
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.

Top Critic Moore 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 Critic 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
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.

Two hours long and anti-climactic, but Bond fans won't be disappointed.

Theme song by Paul McCartney is best part, but this is also one of Moore's best Bonds.
03/09/06
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 Critic Its cheerful racism is overcome by a grand sense of fun and some of Moore's best moments in the franchise.
03/10/05
It doesn't have the wit and it doesn't have the style of the best Bond movies.
