BOND: LIVE AND LET DIE(1973)
Bond! James Bond!
Roger Moore's first turn at 007, and while he is no
match for Sean Connery he does a very good job
of being Bond! And this is one of the best of all
the James Bond movies!! An excellent story, excellent
supporting cast, and one of the best villians ever
(Baron Samedi) played by Geoffrey Holder! This also
has the all-time greatest chase scenes in boats! Just
one heck of a lot of fun!!
This also boasts another great theme song by Paul
McCartney! A
A review from an editor at Amazon:
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
