Review of Live and Let Die (1973) by Mark C — 23 Dec 2008

This wasn't all so bad. I was expecting it to be hideous. Roger Moore's debut was refreshing compared to Lazenby's, whose debut was also his farewell. Moore fit the masculinity of Bond much better than Lazenby.

It also boasts one of the most beautiful Bond girls. Unfortunately, it is very hard to overlook the some of the silly action scenes in the film. The villians or villian aren't very threatening and also come off as rather silly.

The occult, which takes up large portions of the film's theme and plot isn't something that adds any intrigue into the film. This entry to the Bond legacy starts the Roger Moore series off in mediocrity.
