Summary: typical Bond
Review: Moore is not my favorite Bond but Jane Seymore is outstanding, and quite a hottie (who knew?). If you're a Bond fan, you'll like this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Moore is no 007!!!!!!
Review: This movie bites! It's too comical to be a Bonds movie and i seen them all. Bond is not too intelligent and not too wise, because the villians are something off of a Shaft movie, and didn't really scare me like the villians of previous bonds with Connery. Also, i dont like Roger Moore as Bond so that didnt help either lol. He make a good Q replacement but not Bond. The movie is so corny its shameful. That plastic green snake in the beginning of the movie just before the music intro was so [unrealistic], ...You didn't even see the bite mark on that guy before he fake his death. And agents getting stab on a corner, not once but it happen twice it too much. What i like about this movie, solitair played by jane seymore and the paul mcartney song 'live and let die' at the beginning. It's probably the best song next to the Octapussy song by Rita. If your a bond fan, watch it but dont say i didnt warn ya.

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: Certainly not the best of the 007 movies.
Review: Guy Hamilton was among the least best of the 007 film makers.
He always seemed to prefer to work on the movie with a lower budget in mind and somewhat cheaper production values. Live and Let Die certainly shows this. It comes across as more of a police TV show then a 007 motion picture with cheaper production designs present from the screenplay to the acting. When it ends, you feel like you watched something that was called James Bond, but did not have the look and feel of one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: From Scranton PA
Review: Well, what can I say...I love all the James Bond Movies!!! And this movie is no different, despite what people say about it. If I had a chance to make this movie over, I would not chance a thing. After all, the majority of the movies were made with little or no computer enhancements that we are accustomed to in this day and age. But for their time, these movies were top-of-the-line action movies. I give 2 thumbs up to "Live and Let Die"!!

Rating: 5 stars

The first outing with Roger Moore as Ian Flemings James Bond-007. Live and Let Die has hardly any relation with the book in which it is based on. The Last thing I want to say(Well write really) is that I would rate this Movie as a 1000 out of 5.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Oracle Who Predicted His Future
Review: This film introduced Roger Moore as James Bond. Three agents are killed; Bond is sent to NY to investigate. The action starts when his driver is shot. You get a chance to see those old dinosaurs that soon became extinct with skyrocketing oil prices. We see strange exotic places like Upper Manhattan, and then a small Caribbean island where the action occurs.

There is the novelty of an oracle who predicts the future through tarot card. An agent is revealed as a traitor, and dies. Bond inserts himself into a carefully guarded place and meets the oracle; her future is changed. They trespass, and are chased by cars in scenes that are less intense than in earlier movies.

The scheme is to give away two tons of heroin to put existing suppliers out of business, and assure a monopoly to Mr Big. The existing suppliers and their political allies don't like this! Bond again acts as a trouble shooter to eliminate the upstart competition. He fires their drug refinery, and escapes in a motor boat. This chase is more fanciful than "From Russia With Love". The actor who played the Sheriff won a part in the next film...

This film has lower production values than the earlier films in the series. As if they didn't want to risk too much money on a new replacement star.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THE DEVILs WIND
Review: LIVE AND LET DIE is the one film in the James Bond series that stands out from the rest. This is Roger Moore's first film as James Bond the British agent with the 007 "Licence To Kill" and he keeps the body count going up. In many ways it does not even seem like it is part of the series. The character of James Bond was totally revamped in LIVE AND LET DIE. Bond seems to have traded in his cigarettes for cheroots. Gone are the "Martinis shaken not stirred," the Dom Perigone, Bond's virility, worldliness and sardonic wit. It's all gone. Even his wardrobe is over-the-top. But it is all a facade. Bond's appearance as a fop and dandy are only a ruse, a deception. If you examine this film you will see that Bond is no perfunctory agent. He dispenses lethal doses of vengeful comeuppance with his urbane charm. The film's lighter approach under Guy Hamilton's direction actually makes many of the scenes of violent and contorted death more palatable. On closer examination this film is a highly stylized piece of action filled nonsense that delivers outrageous thrills, characters, dialogue and humor in a well-choreographed non-stop bit of filmmaking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "You used to say Live and Let Live." - Paul McCartney
Review: Synopsis(novel): Mr Big is a Harlem gangster, who controls his empire with superstitious fear. He has discovered a lost treasure beneath a Jamaican Island and is smuggling the gold into America. Bond's mission to stop him is made more urgent by the suspicion that he is also an agent of SMERSH.

Synopsis(movie): Three simultaneous murders herald Bond's latest mission. Sent to investigate the deaths, he comes up against Harlem gangster Mr Big, and the ancient power of voodoo on a Jamaican island.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Without doubt the worst, most boring James Bond film
Review: An absolutely awful film; boring, pointless long chase scenes, grating slapstick, irritating theme, stupid JW Pepper, wooden acting, wussy Bond girl, and a man who blows up like an empty balloon - utter garbage.
