Amazon.co.uk Review

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 re-established Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the '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 super-villains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

On the DVD: Anyone old enough to remember the old milk marketing board commercials will relish the sight of James Bond exhorting everyone to "drink a pinta milka day" in one of the TV spots included here. Elsewhere in the special features, the characteristically in-depth "making of" featurette has a mixture of both contemporary and new interviews plus behind-the-scenes footage (the alligator-jumping sequence is positively hair-raising). The first of two audio commentaries is hosted by John Quark of the Ian Fleming Foundation and features a variety of cast and crew members, notably director Guy Hamilton; the second has writer Tom Mankiewicz on his own, who in between pauses has the occasional interesting thing to say. Overall another good package of features to accompany another excellent anamorphic print. --Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars A personal favourite, 30 Jan 2002
By Dennis E. Sisterson (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I may be biased because this was the first Bond film I saw, and the film that introduced me to the full cinema experience, but I rate this as the best Bond movie. With a new lead, all concerned seem to be trying that little bit harder, the style of the film is pitched just right - not too much humour to outweigh the sense of menace, and the speedboat chase must rate as one of the top action sequences of the series - wild, yet still not quite implausible, which is one of the problems with the more recent films - constantly out to outdo themselves until the stunts are so ridiculous that all credibility is lost. Also the bad guys with their sinister voodoo scarecrows add a chilling touch that few of these films have. all this and the priceless Sheriff JW Pepper... stop reading this rubbish and just buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining!!!!, 27 Jun 2005
By S. Hind - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Untill Live and Let Die, all Bond adventures were usually the same, eg SPECTRE organisation trying to take over the world. Live and Let Die isn't one of those, it focuses on the smaller organisations, (in this case a heroin smuggling organisation).

This is defently one of the best Bond films. This was Roger Moore's dabiew as James Bond and proves successful. Hes humerous and tends to be serious as well. Jane Seymour is very attractive as Solitare and one of the best bond girls. This also has the best Felix Leiter actor, David Hederson who plays the part fantastic. Kananga and Tee Hee are good at there parts as the villians too.

You can watch this again and again, and not get bored with it. The Music Score is utterly amazing by George Martin who gives a more funky style to some of the previous soundtracks. Special Features are very good too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Roger Moore's first and one of his best, 16 Jan 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!
