Er, I might be willing to allow for age of reviewers who posted on line as partial reasoning for that score

I can see how someone younger (say of the age that the first Bond film they saw theatrically was Goldeneye) might think that it had not aged well

But c'mon 'real life' Pitfall running across alligators....Solitaire (OMG swoon), title song...how does one not give a thumbs up

There's a lot to not like about Live and Let Die - Sherrif JW Pepper, the airport chase, the voodoo subplot, etc -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 13:53 13
- Hate to say it but RM is my least favourite Bond. Great as the Saint but just never was Bond for me. -- nm - zork Jan 30, 17:23
- Uh, and ... I guess you should know? 😀 -- nm - JD Jan 30, 13:54 5
  - Oh, and probably the worst opening sequence of the series. -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 13:57 4
    - Heh. I love that you're taking a Bond film starring your nick namesake to task 8-) -- nm - JD Jan 30, 14:01 3
      - Oh, I like the movie - the villains are all fun. But it's very silly. (New Orleans jazz funeral processions have to be the worst place to kill someone -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 14:03 2
        
        I can think of a sillier place and time. -- nm - SPECTRE Jan 30, 14:05 1

    - (I don't think "comic relief sheriff" ages well as a concept, is my point, even though my example is from Smokey ... But I could be wrong about LALD.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 14:02 1
      - Add in a couple of pauses to spit and it's pretty much the same sherriff -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 14:33
  - You're the first person I've ever heard say that. -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 13:56 1
    - Then I'll be the second. He fits with the other stereotypes in the movie. -- nm - zork Jan 30, 17:20
