Blaxsploitation, voodoosploitation, and Smokey and the banditsploitation—This is an Eli Roth Bond movie. 4.5 stars.
Ian WestMar 28, 2015"Hey man, for twenty bucks I'd take you to a Ku Klux Klan cookout!" A simple case where form doesn't follow function. Roger Moore is (in)famous for bringing out all the campiest aspects of Bond. He cares more about bedding attractive women (always significantly younger…
ScreeningNotesMar 22, 202363 Modestly pleasurable. Love how Bond unzips a woman's dress using his fancy magnetic watch. Too funny. There's a lot in this entry. Walking on alligators. A bunch of racism. Graveyard lairs in the Caribbean. Roger Moore rocking a turtleneck and double holster. Yaphet…

Having triumphed over Goldfinger, Dr. No, and Blofeld, James Bond now faces his most fearsome enemy yet: literally every black person in the United States. The film that launched the world’s love affair with Sheriff J.W. Pepper.
Will SloanApr 30, 2021Hot tip for any of you Bond villains out there: if you have James Bond in your possession, just shoot him. Don't come up with an elaborate yet slow plan to kill him. I wasn't super into this at the beginning but it really grew on me as the watch went along. While it…
Ethan ColburnOct 20, 2020My mind was completely blown when I realized the song Live and Let Die is the theme for this movie. That song is iconic! ...unfortunately this film isn't. James Bond Ranked

hell yeah i love hillbilly cops and weird flirtations with racism in my bond movies
Vidyuth MaheshSep 23, 2012Sending 007 to Harlem was the brainchild of original director Larry Cohen; he was fired after suggesting Fred Williamson to replace Connery.
matt lynchJul 29, 2025I can't fault anybody on this earth for not liking the Bond movie where every black person on earth is his sworn enemy. In fact, when I put it like that I begin to question the fun I myself had during the last two hours of my life. But then I remember Whisper and I know I…

- Dyl is "meh" onLive and Let Die
The music is one of the best and it has a really funny death but those are the only good things about this bond movie as everything else is straight up mid or boring which would sadly make this the worst so far. Overall 5/10 a very mid boring ride with some funny moments
Megatron097 is "meh" onLive and Let DieIt’s a bland bag the music was really good and Moore was a different but interesting take on Bond. But that’s about it as the movie had a consistency problem galore. The main villains plan was very weird. And an action scene in the middle that felt very out of place.
Mtrees likedLive and Let DieI’ll lump all the James Bond films up to Casino Royale into one review. I love them all and there’s very few instalments that I don’t enjoy. I hope they keep making them till the day I die, fantastic films! 13/07/2023 (Historical Review)
- Edward Kronkvist likedLive and Let Die
This film marks Roger Moore’s first time as James Bond and I thought it was a pretty solid Bond film with a great soundtrack. It’s perhaps quite outdated at times but it was probably the funniest film in the franchise, overall 6/10.
Henry likedLive and Let DieThe film shines thanks to Roger Moore's charismatic Bond, bringing a fresh energy to the role. The plot is intriguing, with some fun chases and action scenes, accompanied by a brilliant score. Rating: H - 8/10 L - 8.5/10
Jvss is "meh" onLive and Let Die5/10 ⭐️. I like Roger Moore as bond, and i quite liked Jane Seymour as solitaire— otherwise i wasn’t too fond of this film, the storyline was quite boring and didn’t captivate me at all.
- Landyn Ludolph likedLive and Let Die
7.9/10 was pretty decent quarrel was likeable. The boat and river fight scenes were pretty good. But they over complicated the villains and there was to many.
Beau likedLive and Let DieQuick Trivia How to kill Bond? A. Just shoot him point blank B. Plan an elaborate slow death in the most unnecessary ways Correct answer: B apparently
Jared S lovedLive and Let DiePossibly my favorite Bond theme song. Entertaining movie, the movie had great vibes, which is really the most important thing for a James Bond movie.

Metacritic
It has all the necessary girls, gimmicks, subterranean control rooms, uniformed goons and magic wristwatches it can hold, but it doesn't have the wit and it doesn't have the style of the best Bond movies.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
The most significant Bond ingredient missing from Live and Let Die is Q, whose gadgets still play a central role. The film also offers a few key additions, including an illuminating glimpse of Bond’s home.
Peter Debruge
Variety
A modernised Bond is dragged kicking and screaming into the 70s.
