Chuck Dowling’s review published on Letterboxd:
Roger Moore's debut as James Bond is meant to be a jarring change from the Connery entries, but only some of it works. Moore's Bond is a lot calmer in every situation. I swear in the first 45 minutes he's been threatened and nearly killed about a dozen times, and he never once seems concerned. And the puns, dear lord the puns. So many puns slipped into conversations here, and they're delicious.
Yaphet Kotto as the film's main villain doesn't get a whole lot to do, which is a shame because that man was in his prime in the 70s. Also, putting Bond in shitty, bombed out New York and other less exotic locations is not what I want in my 007 movies.
And while I love Paul McCartney's theme, it's in the wrong movie. Blaxploitation Bond needed funkier music.
