My personal favorite in the series Wow, I was a little suprised to see all the negative or sub-par reviews this movie got. Yeah, I know it's incredibly cheesy, but so were all of Roger Moore's movies. For some reason, I just loved this one out of all the Bond movies the most. I don't really even know why, something about this movie just clicks for me.
Bond, go do that voodoo that you do so well... When Sean Connery finally left the Bond role for good (that is, until he returned for "Never Say Never Again" in 1983), it was up to veteran "The Saint" actor Roger Moore to take the reins. "Live And Let Die" has some strong elements going for it: A great theme song by Paul McCartney & Wings; a genuinely creepy backdrop of menace in the form of voodoo; and a gallery of bizarre/frightening characters. Yet, the film seems half-baked, as if it might have been better with Connery there. Moore, to his credit, plays Bond in his own tongue-in-cheek style, but he lacks the ruggedness of Connery. The plot finds some moments to place Bond in mortal danger (what are the odds that a team of crocodiles are going to conveniently line up so that Bond can run across their backs to safety??), yet Moore stretches credibility by making it look too easy (as was the case in future films). Not Moore's best nor his worst, but an intriguing entry in the series.
