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

Without a doubt the best James Bond theme song & Roger Moore feels pretty good as james bond, I still much prefer Sean Connery but he has potential and seems kinda like a joseph joestar version of James Bond.
