Hot 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 lacks some of the classic Bond feel, it works pretty well as an action movie. Borrowing many elements from the Blaxploitation sub-genre, it makes this film stand out from the rest of the series. The boat chase is quite fun, and I enjoyed the Bond girls in this one.
This is Roger Moore's first outing and it's quite nice to see an athletic Roger Moore. Moore was older than Connery, and thus his later outings he felt far too old to play Bond. While I'm not a big fan of the constant puns, Moore delivers them better than any other Bond, adding a suave style to the role. Having played Bond more than any other actor, he came to define the tone for a large chunk of the franchise, and while it may be a bit of a slump for the franchise as a whole, Moore himself is what kept me engaged in these films.
Also Paul McCartney slays the theme.
Pretty fun!

Decent first Bond entry by Roger Moore. Might be less charming than Connery, but still delivered a solid and subtle 007, bringin a playful, stylish sense adventure into the blaxploitation-tinged espionage story.
Though, i find some paces felt unnecessary, like the boat scene. It started off amusing but eventually became overextended and dragging its movie tension down. Nonetheless, this movie brought many fun and lively actions, specifically when compared to Dr. No as a first entry.
And having Paul Mcartney sings "Live and Let Die" as the title song was straight up iconic for the whole movie.

the tarot card parts were so dope, Solitaire was a great character. Not every bond has that kind of fortune telling mysticism, would be cool to see more of that
