Review of Live and Let Die (1973) by Imthenoob — 12 Nov 2019

Moore is a great Bond, even rivalling Connery for the top spot IMO. His personifies the character in a whole other way and it was a fitting change. The film itself is pretty solid for the most part. I think the final act could have used touching up though, especially with trimming down that nearly 10-minute boat race that brought the movie to a crippling halt. Honestly, Editing that down and quickening the pace of things near the end would have been a big help to this movie as it definitely drags it down a few notches IMO.

That being said, This movie was a nice change-up from the typical Bond formula. The take on blaxploitation is cheesy but in a good way. Not the best Bond film but a solid middle of the pack addition that is a nice introduction to Moore.
