Review of Live and Let Die (1973) by Nels W — 09 Jul 2009

Roger Moore's first and probably best outing as 007. The film could've ruined Moore as Bond because 3 actors took over in the space of a couple of years.

Although Connery's version of Bond can never be overestimated, I feel that Roger Moore really enjoyed playing Bond and it showed on screen. He delivers witicisms with ease and although this Bond outing is quite a serious thriller, it does have it's funny moments.

The cast all perform well and the chemistry between Bond and Solitaire is at times a little weak, is pretty solid overall. The introduction of Sheriff J.W Pepper is regarded by many as.

Great script, dark and chilling locations, great set pieces and a catchy soundtrack. A great movie overall.
