Critics' reviews

"There is a marvelous escape from an alligator farm (deadly reptiles are rather a motif in this movie), a superb collection of grotesque ways of killing, and a fine sense of pace and rhythm."

Roger Greenspun: The New York Times
"Live and Let Die isn't the best of the series by far, but it's not the worst either"

Cindy White: IGN
"It doesn't have the wit and it doesn't have the style of the best Bond movies"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Guy Hamilton's direction lacks enthusiasm and pace, while even the art direction—long the Bond films' real secret weapon—seems to have fallen to a shrunken budget."

Dave Kehr: Chicago Tribune
"Watching Live and Let Die isn't a complete waste of time, but there's no overriding reason why anyone should go out of their way to see it unless they're a die-hard Bond fan"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"Two hours long and anti-climactic, but Bond fans won't be disappointed."
