Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately reestablished Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good '70s. This film also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Live and Let Die
I'm a giant fan of James Bond. This one always held a special place. It's probably the cheesiest of the 007 genre, but I like Roger Moore and I guess the music makes it better.
Rating:  - The Name Is Bland . . . James Bland
If you want to pinpoint where the 007 series took a nosedive into unadulterated silliness, look no further than "Live and Let Die" (1973). Roger Moore makes his debut as James Bland in this ridiculous blaxploitation-style thriller with slapstick action sequences. The only redeeming aspect is Paul McCartney and Wings' Oscar-nominated song, which deserved a far better film.
Rating:  - Good movie, horrible tape quality
A good 007 movie, but I could only see it three times. It didn't want to run anymore on my VHS player. It got stuck forever
Rating: - I was young and my heart was an open book...
I used to say live and let live. Then I saw this Roger Moore fiasco. It makes me give in and cry, This movie must die!...They had a job to do and didn't do it well, they put this fellow through hell!
Ok, enough of twisting Paul McCartney's great song to offer up my point of view. I am a recent convert to James Bond movies. I took a chance and watched Casino Royale and I was very impressed with what I saw. Then I picked up Goldfinger, followed by Die Another Day, GoldenEye, On Her Majesty's ... Read More
Rating:  - Shocked at these positive reviews....
Has anyone who loves Live & Let Die ever seen another Bond movie? Where do I start with this extremely weak film? Other than the theme song, a cool voodoo/graveyard sequence and the alligator pond, this is one of the low points in the franchise. Short on action and exotic locals, but packed with ghetto slang, goofy characters and an overall lack of secret agent "coolness". The 1960's were at an end and this movie is just way too early 70's looking (and sounding). Overall it's more dated than Dr No (made ... Read More
