Live and Let Die (1973)

1/11: Live and Let Die...what a silly title.

And what the hell does that mean? Roger Moore replaces Sean Connery, and things are supposed to be better?

Making me fall asleep, I hate films that involve voodoo and black magic, and they must always take place in either Louisiana or Haiti. James Bond beds more women as usual. If the black female agent is for real, then coming up is a sexual harassment lawsuit against 007. When will the madness ever end?

The boat chase scenes are too long, forcing me to yearn for the ending. The sight of the redneck cop doesn't help matters any, either. Why does this particular operation require the services of a British spy agent? At one point, James Bond should've been mauled by crocodiles. Honestly, I'm just tired of seeing him survive many improbable scenes when a simple bullet right between his eyes will suffice.

All in all, Live and Let Die is another failure for the overrated James Bond franchise.
