Summary: I would like to give it 2½
Review: This fil'm fits in somewhere in the middle of my Bond-rating.Sadly,I must say that this is the worst of Moore`s Bonds.It`s not a bad film(the only bad Bond-film is LTK),with Holder and Kotto giving impressive performances in their roles.Moore is good,but he would not grow into the role until the next film.Most of the cast do their job well,and Pepper is good in this film,however not in the next.I especially welcome the all to small appearances of Whisper,wonderfully portrayed by Earl Jolly Brown.

Summary: Not Bond in the Traditional Sense, But...
Review: This is an excellent movie. So it's not traditional Bond, and it's certainly not the heaviest in the series. Actually, it seems to lack depth in some places, it's kind of long, and the plot seems to really deviate about 90 minutes into the movie. But if you're looking for a fun, not-so-involving movie, this is it. This one has an altogether different flavor than the others in the series, probably because it's set mostly in America (and 70's Harlem at that!). I'd like to see 007 make a return to the U.S. Roger Moore, in his first turn as 007, gives a very offhanded, lightweight, amusing performance. Yaphet Kotto does the best he can with the writing Mr. Big was given, and Jane Seymour (her first film) is very good as Solitaire. Julius W. Harris made a formidable Tee-Hee, the henchman with a mechanical arm and a hook for a hand. And I am still not sure of Baron Samedi's importance to the story, but Geoffrey Holder was very memorable in the role. This is far and away the funniest Bond I've ever seen. The laughs start kind of slow, then they keep coming. First of all, to see James Bond, crisp, white, British secret agent, in 1973 Harlem is a blast in itself. He looks so out of place, it's actually funny! I think that was meant to look that way, though. Moore did a good job at playing a Bond who was trying not to look like he felt out of place, but nevertheless obviously was. Check out the first taxi scene and the following scene where he enters the Fillet of Soul--this defines the whole fish-out-of-water thing. Inside the restaurant, Bond talks to his waiter at his table, and as he asks him for information, the wall revolves with Bond still at the table! Watch how Moore tries in vain to get up from his seat, and how the waiter, unfazed, spins on his heel and walks away drinking Bonds drink. If you don't laugh at that, you don't know humor! Then, a little over halfway through, there's a big detour in the film itself. Bond is in New Orleans with Solitaire, and one thing leads to another and there's a big chase scene with 007 driving a double-decker bus. Somewhere after that long comic chase, portly, balding, tobacco-chewing (and -spitting), profanizing, pants-hiking, hillbilly redneck Sherriff J.W. Pepper enters the picture. Clifton James gives a hilariously classic performance as the uber-stereotype, and the time he spends onscreen (although irrelevant to the plot) is among the film's best. From the moment he strides up to the speeding Harlemite's car, cocks his hat, hikes up his pants, and says that no one pulls one over on Sherriff J.W. Pepper, you'll be rolling in the aisles, trust me! What follows is another wild (and even longer) demolition chase scene with Bond in a speedboat that is humorous as well. After it's felt like two hours, then there is some action with Bond and Solitaire over a shark tank, with Mr. Big laughing at their plight. I thought it would have been more fitting to use the crocodiles that were already in the movie instead of bringing in a new animal, personally. (Although it is interesting to note that 007 helper Felix Leiter, who appears here, was eaten by a shark--partially, anyway--in his only other appearance in "Licence to Kill.") I know I haven't seemed very kind in my review, and acknowledge that it has many plot holes and things. But it is a very good movie, and very fun. Just don't go looking for this one if you want the Bond that everyone knows.

Summary: Moore's solid start
Review: Live and Let Die is one of those Bond films you find hard to put in a "winners and losers" list. LALD makes a slight deviation from previous 007 entries in that instead of presenting a plot for world domination, the bad guy plans to seize control of the heroin market and then get everyone hooked on it! LALD is a truly entertaining film-just watch the (overlong) boat chase if you don't believe me. But there are aspects which are clearly lacking as well. The film generally lacks depth, and it looks fairly dated as well. Bond looks totally out of place in Harlem, and as for Sheriff J.W. Pepper, he may be funny but he adds nothing to the film. This was Roger Moore's first time out as Bond, and he is GREAT in the role, although I think "The Spy Who Loved Me", "Moonraker" and "Octopussy" provided him with better opportunities. But Live and Let Die still makes for good Friday night entertainment though.

Summary: An Awesome 007 Movie!
Review: Live And Let Die was an awesome 007 movie even though it was Roger Moore's first bond movie. It's exciting with the boat chases, running over the crocks, and Pepper was funny! I recommend this movie to anyone Bond fanatic!

Summary: incredible 007 adventure!
Review: I can't say this is as passionate or ingenious as Goldfinger or From Russia, With Love, but it is a great action film. The characters are not particularly well-developed, but the main criminal, Dr. Kananaga (Kotto), is a formidable character, obsessed with making money off self-produced heroin. The action sequences are some of the BEST in this film! From high-powered speedboat chases to a heart-pounding escape from hungry crocodiles, Live and Let Die is a fantastic, action oriented Bond film which, in my mind has to be one of the 10 best Bond movies ever produced!
