Review Moonraker (1979)

[Doctor Omega]

Your thoughts on this movie....

James Bond investigates the mid-air theft of a space shuttle, and discovers a plot to commit global genocide.

And the theme tune.....

Definitely one of the worst Bond movies. Although, taken in the right spirit, it is a rather entertaining space pantomime. The perfect gauge of how ridiculous Bond had become at the end of Moore's stint. Fortunately, as has been cited else where, Moore has enough charisma and likeability to carry even the most ludicrous 007 set pieces.

 

[Doctor Omega]

Still my favourite, with OHMSS snapping at it's heels.

Just good fun. And nobody could beat Roger Moore when it came to looking a bit worse for wear after being spun round in an astronaut training module thing. Great staggering acting in that scene!

The large majority of this movie was pretty decent. The space battle at the end dialled the ridiculousness up to 11 though and dragged the whole movie down overall.
