James Bond Series Post 8: Live and Let DIE

Roger Moore... James Bond?   I couldn't think of a more different approach to the character.  Live and Let Dies is Moores's first time as bond and he's still getting used to it... it shows.  To tell you the truth I felt this movie was just creepy.  A bunch of mourning people are walking down the street.  A man walks up to an agent.  "Who died?" asked the agent.  The man kills him as the people with the coffin walk by.  They bend down so the coffin goes on top of him and it engulfs him so his body is in the coffin (don't ask me).  Then all the mourning people start dancing... that's just the opening scene.  Then comes the incredibly creepy scene when you realize everyone in the ghetto is working to bring Bond down and they all have walkie-talkies to tell the head villain where Bond is (Did I mention this movie is racist?).  Then there is the man who can't die... this guy is so creepy.  Another creepy part is when all these voodoo idols are watching Bond through the forest.  Then there is Rosie... the worst performance in any Bond film so far.  Did I mention she is the first African-American Bond girl, and she is a spy.  Finally an African-American, that is positively looked upon, with a good job.  Oh wait she is not a very skillful spy, and later you find out she is not a spy at all she works for the villain.  So much for a positively looked upon African American with a good job.  That is how racist this movie is.  The only African-American that is not a villain in this movie is a blue-collar worker.  In all this is a very creepy racist Bond movie.
