James Bond Movie Review: ****Live and Let Die (1973)

 Roger Moore is introduced as the new James Bond without any loss in intensity.  Three British agents are killed, and Bond is sent to figure out what is going on.  He finds, Mr. Big/Kananga (Yaphet Kotto) is behind the goings on.  Solitaire (Jane Seymour) is reading the cards and providing information for Mr. Big.  This movie has a voodoo flavor as two of the deaths occurred in the Caribbean and New Orleans.  He discovers that they are planning a heroin operation and disco vers the field.  High light of this movie is the boat chase in the bayou, going over berms at times.  And who knew Jane Seymour started as a Bond girl.  Some of the normal characters including M and Moneypenny.  Clifton Jones has a cameo as the sheriff chasing the people going back and forth in boats.  David Hedison portrays the CIA man helping.  

Interesting movie with the undoing of the voodoo magic and the chase and trying to kill Bond so many times, by shark and by crocodile.
