Bond 08: Live and Let Die (1973)
Director: Guy Hamilton
Starring: Roger Moore, Yaphet Kotto, Jane Seymour
More Info: IMDB
Tagline: Roger Moo7re is James Bond
Plot: 007 is sent to stop a diabolically brilliant heroin magnate armed with a complex organization and a reliable psychic tarot card reader.
My Rating: 8/10
Would I watch it again? Yup
Great introduction to Moore as Bond. I love...
- The all-to-brief New Orleans locale
- George Martin's score
- McCartney's title tune
- Yaphet Koto makes a great villain
- Roger Moore makes a great Bond (they all do in their own way)
- Jane Seymour has HOT written all over her
- AMAZING action set pieces, particularly the boat chase
- Alligator pit sequence rocks
What I don't love...
- just a bit too much of the HILARIOUS J.W. Pepper
It's loads of fun and I really enjoy it. This is the only non-John Barry Bond score I like (until David Arnold came on the scene with TOMORROW NEVER DIES (1997)).
Scorethefilm will return with his thoughts to...
THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974)
