[Series Completion Project] "007 No. 8: The Moment of Life and Death", Reivew on Live and Let Die

After an unsuccessful handover (George Lazenbe) and the short restoration of Sean Connery, to the eighth episode, 007 finally completed the renewal of the starring role, even though Roger Mooreby Sean Kang Nali was two years older. Compared with his predecessor, Roger Moore is not so rough, but a bit more refined and elegant. But the fly in the ointment is that although he is tall and tall, as the oldest "Bond" actor, his muscles are relatively loose and lacking in line, and he lacks some of the strong and domineering men should have.

However, the successor to "Bond" was found, but this episode of 007 is very mediocre. Although there are a lot of gimmicks (Caribbean islands, voodoo, American gangsters, Tarot beauties, etc.), the series of plots are quite blunt and full of loopholes. Many plots are formalistic. The most obvious point is that the villain talks too much about "demeanor". It should be killed or not. The problem can be solved with a single shot. It has to get some sharks and crocodiles. This is also one of the early 007 movies.

The "Bond Girl" in this episode may be the only highlight. Its actor Jane Seymour is calm and elegant, with everyone's demeanor, and sometimes reveals a girlish innocence and gentleness, which is extremely impressive.
