Movie Notes: The Man With The Golden Gun

The Man With The Golden Gun, starring Roger Moore as Bond, starts off lame (possibly the worst Bond theme I’ve ever heard), but gets better as it goes along.

Live and Let Die from 1973 starred Roger Moore as James Bond, for the first time. I remember watching it as a kid. Although it’s an action-packed adventure, it has elements from other films of the time that prove entertaining, but aren’t really about James Bond, spies, or espionage. There is also a noticeable comedy vibe — almost as if it’s lampooning earlier Bond movies.
