Moonraker

Summary: Unfairly maligned Gem
Review: I like this one, a bit far out I know, but it was groundbreaking stuff at a time where where we were still wondering at the marvels of the ZX81 personal computer. Now it looks a bit dated, and the laser guns unrealistic, but this was the highest grossing Bond film untill Goldeneye. Roger Moore is superb as ever, and his pure Englishness is why he was so special, (he is the only Englishman ever to play Bond, Connery is Scottish, Lazenby an Aussie, Dalton Welsh and Brosnan is Irish). Enjoy this film for what it is, dont laugh at its shortcomings. Its fun, and never tries to take itself to seriously. Have Fun, Watch MOONRAKER

Summary: Moonraker -Outerspace Now Belongs to 007!
Review: Moonraker is Roger Moore 4TH and best Bond movie. Jaws amazingly come back from the previous Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, and in Moonraker he servives boating off a waterfall, falling off a plane into a circus tent, and being in a crashing cable car. Roger Moore is very humorous and says lots jokes. In Drax's space staition, he tries to create a world in space and kill everyone on the Earth. Can Bond stop Drax and Jaws this time?

Summary: Moonraker
Review: Moonraker,Roger Moore's third Bond film,was not nearly as good as The Spy who Loved Me,but still worth four stars.The space scenes are okay,Hugo Drax is an okay villain,Jaws was 1O times better in The Spy who Loved Me,I love the boat chase in Venice and the one in Rio,Dr.Holly Goodhead was very good,(ties with Anya in TSWLM),an okay plot, and Shirley Bassey's title song was good but not as good as "Goldfinger" or "Diamonds are Forever".

Summary: Great Bondmovie
Review: What's left for me to say. Mr Paul Joyce says it all in his review. This is a great film with a good plot and great locations. One thing a must say is: Stop the silly complains about Roger Moore being tired and uncommited. I think Roger Moore hold on with grace a lot better than Sean Coonery did as James Bond 007. I really love Sean Coonery as James Bond but if there's one Bond that got tired it's definitely Connery. I think his acting is tired in his last two Bond films "You only live twice" and "Diamonds are forever". It's a huge difference compared to his burning, exiting performance in Thunderball two years earlier. In Connerys first four films you really felt that he is Bond. In his last two it feels like he's just doing it like a rutin. Like a job. A little slide from the subject here but like I said; Read Paul Joyce's rewiew, it says it all.

Summary: Maybe this Bond phenomenon has lasted a bit too long.
Review: This film is full of inconsistencies. My favourite example is when Drax tries to have Bond killed with an anaconda in a swimming pool. Bond kills the anaconda, but then Drax's henchman, Jaws, shows up and pulls Bond out of the pool, to make him appear before Drax. Had the scenario had any consistency at all, Jaws would have kept Bond's head under water long enough to make him drown. They wanted to kill him, didn't they? But this death would not have been spectacular enough for the audience. No, Drax absolutely had to make Bond burn alive under a space shuttle during takeoff (and of course, Bond escapes). I am not saying that other Bond films are perfect, and that their scenarios are consistent from beginning to end, but this one is far from being one of the best. The idea of Drax's desire to create a "perfect race" was good (for it provides the opportunity to show lots of pretty women, as is expected of any Bond film, and a plot for the film), but the rest of the movie is made of nothing new. In fact I see this film more as a parody of "Star Wars", which was released two years before, than as a genuine Bond film.

Summary: Not all bad
Review: This film sends 007 literally out of this world,a place where he doesn`t belong.The plot is tupid,everybody gets that Drax could not make a space station invisible from earth.The films is filled with very obvious product-placement,and some damn silly jokes(Watch out for "Also sprach Zarathustra"as a hunter's retreat,and the theme to Close Encounters of third Kind as a doorcode.)It does have one of the series best villains(Lonsdale)and it's first half-hour is very good indeed.The return of Jaws is a mistake,but is you do some rough changes(cut away most of the silly jokes and Jaws girlfriend,and also Jaws himself from a few sequences)it suddenly stands much better up.

Summary: Cartoonish but entertaining on its own terms
Review: While I'll admit I'm a little sentimental about MOONRAKER(it was the 1st 007 flick I saw in the theaters & helped trigger my lifelong love of James Bond), this film deserves a much better reputation than it has. Granted, the movie is much more in the spirit of James Coburn's Bond spoof "Our Man Flint" than the excellent, serious "From Russia With Love". However, if the viewer takes it on its own terms as a silly but pleasant, lavish sci-fi comedy adventure MOONRAKER makes entertaining escapist viewing. It does contain flaws(i.e. slapstick humor, cartoonishness, fatuousness, deritiveness from older Bond films) but these flaws are by no means unique to MOONRAKER and in fact typify the majority of 007 films of the 1970s/early 80s era. At the very least, MOONRAKER's pacing and intelligent heroine alone make it vastly superior to A VIEW TO A KILL.

Sidenote: I often wonder if those who most vehemently criticize MOONRAKER for being too silly and outlandish are the same critics who a decade later berated LICENCE TO KILL(which I also enjoyed) for being too dark and serious. But that's another review.

Summary: waste of money
Review: first of all, Roger Moore is a horrible Bond, this movie has no plot and looks like it came out of a comic strip,special effects are cheesy,and this movie put me and my friends to sleep when we saw it in the movies. If you want a good Bond movie, try Tommorrow Never Dies,or Dr.No.Buy the Moonraker book instead this movie is the worst of all the Bond films.

Summary: This movie must of been one of the best Bond flicks ever!
Review: I have seen around 7-8 James Bond movies but none are as good as this one. I watched it on T.V. one night and when I ushually watch a movie and just drift off but not this one. It has a great plot on how criminal mastermind Hugo Drax hijacked a few space shuttles and prepares to make purification with extermination! It also includes the best of all henchmen and most popular one, Jaws, the 7 foot giant with steel teeth. This also includes great action scenes all around the world. Many people think it's the worst Bond movie, I don't. It's probaly the best. Rent it, you will like it.

Summary: Now This Bond You Have To See To Belive
Review: James Bond tries to save the world again in "MoonRaker." If you want to see one of the best Bond films this is it. It is complete with one of my favorite foes Jaws. Also the famous "MoonRaker Laser" battle you have to see. I have to say I have seen many Bond movies and this one I enjoyed the most.
