Live And Let Die [1973]

The film involves a very complex story line, and the only let down is that Q does not amke an appearance in the film. His gadgets are still there though, and thanks to a clever script they are used in true Bond style.

The DVD is really stocked up with alot of extras to keep you entertained and informed for hours.

I think this film has many good moments, topped with a good looking bond girl, a man with a mask, a 9 foot tall man with an exploding head, and terific boat and croc stunts. Complete with top additional footage, this is an actioned packed Bond disc.


Roger Moore's first and one of his best   January 16, 2004

In his first entrance as James Bond, Moore delves into the more humourous aspect of 007. He still manages to retain the suave and sex appeal which made Connery famous but brings something new to the role. The title song by Paul McCartney is excellently written and is played throughout the film. The DVD has some fabulous extras including the famous TV advert featuring Moore instructing us to 'drink a pinta milk a day' as one of the TV spots as well as the usual collectors booklet with in depth information about the film itself. Overall a good buy!

When I was 10 years old, I saw this film and hated it. I thought it as boring- having seen purely action laden Bond films such as Tomorrow Never Dies and Goldeneye, I had no appreciation for a film that endhorsed humour and good acting instead of one big sleigh ride with crazy stunts at every turn. It now so happens to be my absolute undisputed favourite. Jane Seymour is truly beautiful, not to mention her talent in the part of the tarot card reading Solitaire. Yaphet Kotto makes and intriguing villain as does the Mr. Tee Hee (guy with the metal arm).

To me the strong point of this film, is that there is a new threat to hinder 007. It isn't nuclear missles, or deceitful women, but the power of the occult, which is interpreted by Solitaire through the tarot cards. It gives one a sense that Bond can't outwit his opponents, cos through the tarot cards, Solitaire and her heroin worshipping associates will be made aware of 007's various interventions.

There is an appropriate balance between humour and action. The boat chase is amazing and very witty in parts.

To conclude, this film has an awesome musical score- quite possibly the best. I recommend the Live and Let Die Motion Picture Soundtrack (WITH BONUS TRACKS), as well as the awesome DVD. The special features are great.
