If we judged Bonds by their theme songs, McCartney and Moore would smoke the competition, easy.

Roger Moore's run in the James Bond franchise is seen by many fans as the worst of them all, but if we're going off of his first movie Live and Let Die, there's an argument to be made that he's one of the best. This movie has Bond-isms in every bit of its presentation, bearing beautiful locals, fun action, and music that'll keep you on the edge of your seat , but it also changes things up a bit.

The Bond movies had seen their fair share of camp by this point, and while Live and Let Die isn't exactly A View to a Kill, it's definitely a bigger step in that direction than ever before. With this film alone, the level of cheese that is delivered ends up being way more charming than harmful. Whenever there ends up being any eye-rolling moments, they only come from our lead.

Guy Hamilton Might Be the Quintessential Bond Director All of this to say, if you're going to play James Bond, you still have to get in a couple of fights. Any time we see this version of 007 throw hands with enemies, it's never exactly thrilling. All of Moore's punches are thrown slowly, he's rarely seen performing any stunts of his own, and even when he is, he seems to be moving in slow motion.

This film's main Bond girl, Solitaire , is one of the more interesting in the entire franchise. Her ties to the occult and use of Tarot cards make her fascinatingly unconventional, but unfortunately, like many other Bond girls, she isn't given much room for any depth. Much of the same goes for Rosie Carver , Bond's other love interest.
