United States | The New York Times | "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." | POS |
United States | IGN | "Live and Let Die isn't the best of the series by far, but it's not the worst either" | NEU |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "It doesn't have the wit and it doesn't have the style of the best Bond movies" | NEU |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "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." | NEG |
United Kingdom | Time Out | "Two hours long and anti-climactic, but Bond fans won't be disappointed." | NEU |
United States | ReelViews | "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" | NEU |
