Plot

Secret Agents are being killed off and Bond is called in to save the day. It's the first Bond movie starring Roger Moore and also introduces Jane Seymour; and what a lovely introduction she made.

Pros

The flavor of New Orleans, some good old fashioned Voodoo, lots of snakes, the "Uncola" man (for those of you old enough to remember him), a very cool villain and the lovely aforementioned Miss Seymour.

Cons

The lingo (honky, right on brother, etc.), clothing and hair styles might freak out people not old enough to remember them. The boat chase was too long and the scene with the digested gas pellet was even too much for a Bond movie. And last, but not least, the extras don't include interviews with any of the stars, like Jane Seymour for instance.

Recommendation

A lot of fun to watch and it does have the best song written for a Bond movie. Oh, did I mention this film also stars the lovely Jane Seymour?
