Review of Live and Let Die (1973) by Everett J — 19 Nov 2008

Here, Roger Moore takes over as Bond...James Bond. This is probably the closest a Bond movie will ever get to being a Horror flick. Here Bond deals with a tarot reading woman(Jane Seymour in her first movie), and taking down a heroin ring involved with VooDoo in Louisiana.

There's good action, and Moore does a great job as Bond. He's not as smooth as Connery, but he has this arrogance that is still very enduring. He also smokes the longest cigars a man can smoke.

Over the top? Very much so, but it's still enjoyable and not the worse Bond movie by a long shot. I also really like the ending, which some Bond movies have the habit of ending the same, this one has a nice little touch.

Good Bond flick and this is the perfect time of year to enjoy it.
