One of my favorite film critics, Glenn Erickson, is the critical voice at the DVD Savant website.
Today, he’s posted a review of the new Blu-Ray of Live and Let Die; in addition to commenting on the technical aspects of the disc, he also puts his movie critic hat on and make some salient points about the 1973 Roger Moore crapfest:
“The original Bond diet of intrigue and danger has been jettisoned in favor of a series of cartoon adventures and chases. Bond gets caught in revolving café tables and booths that drop like elevators through the floor. Because Roger Moore isn’t very physically adept or graceful in motion, the major set pieces have him piloting vehicles that perform all the action.”
Read the whole thing RIGHT HERE. And check out the rest of his site — it’s chock-full of great reading!
