Summary: Strangely likeable
Review: Looking at it objectively, this movie has a lot of the same flaws that made me positively HATE the most recent Bond film, "Die Another Day". It's got a plot that's rather silly, over the top stunts in a couple of scenes (the scene of the gondola turning into a hovercraft and floating through the Piazza San Marco in Venice makes me wince), and gadgets that belong more in a Star Trek movie than in a Bond film.Yet despite all these undoubted flaws, I still love this movie. It's hard to say why, but I imagine it's because it was the first Bond film I ever saw in the theater. I was just a kid, fresh off Star Wars, and being a sci-fi fan, I loved it. I suppose that fond, childhood recollection colors my view. But having said that, this movies does have some very good points. The heroine, Lois Chiles, is the best looking Bond girl since Claudine Auger in Thunderball, in my opinion. The locations, particularly Venice, and the Amazon jungle, are simply breathtakingly beautiful. The special effects, though they do occur in scenes that just don't belong in a Bond movie, are really quite good. The villian, Hugo Drax, is the most sinister Bond villian since Blofeld, and is well acted by Michael Lonsdale. And finally, John Barry's musical score is, I think, the best he ever did for the Bond series. So despite all the undeniable flaws, and despite the fact that I greatly prefer the earlier, more realistic Bond films from Sean Connery's run, I still can't help but like this Bond film. It has a unique charm.

Summary: What the hell?
Review: After the monumental sucecess of The Spy Who Loved Me Pinewood Studious releases this junk. With the desire of sci-fi film in the late 70s they make a sort of sci-fi movie with no sucecess. There is absoulutly no action and dumb villians (except for Jaws) and a stupid climax. I would give 5 stars if this were grading the special effects, they're great. But this isn't grading the effects so be it.

Summary: Call me dopey, but it's GOOD, People!
Review: I am probably one of 5 people alive who think this: Moonraker is one of the BEST movies I have ever seen. Maybe it's just because I like Sci - Fi Movies a lot, but I do not care! I also like the villians, the Special Effects, etc. Sure, there are a few dopey sequnces, and a lousy theme song, (It belongs on Broadway, not a Bond Film!) but who cares! Look at the BIG Picture!

Summary: Moore raker
Review: Why does everybody think that Moonraker is a horrible Bond entry? I'll admit it got real cheesy, but there are certain things that make up for it. John Barry's score is beautiful and so is Roger Moore. This was his last Bond where he was not an old geyser. The plot concerns "Moonraker" a spaceship that dissappears offradar. 007 is sent to investigate Hugo Drax, a wealthy millionaire who denies any involvement in the missing Moonraker ship. Bond goes to Rio de Janeiro, Italy,the Amazon(which has the most beautiful waterfalls) and outer space. The special effects and Jaws are what keeps this film alive. The movie is too cheesy, but Roger Moore would make his best 007 film after this turd, "for your eyes only".

Summary: A Bond Space Bonanza
Review: Reviewers unfairly criticize this film as being one of the worst Bond movies ever. I find it hard to believe that this film could be worst than the Timothy Dalton films or "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." Even in Moore's career as Bond, this movie is hardly as shallow as "Live and Let Die." As a matter of fact, this movie is no more a leap in imagination than "The Spy Who Loved Me"; indeed, it's pretty much the same story except that space shuttles disappear instead of nuclear submarines: both Stromberg and Drax had the same plan of creating a new world and a master race. The cinematography is great and the action sequences fun: yes, perhaps Jaws becomes a little too indestructible in this film. Overall, the humor is just as crisp and dry as all of the Moore films. Great lines by all of the characters such as when Drax tells his servant, "Charles, look after Mr. Bond. See that some harm comes to him!"

Summary: Moonraker
Review: It`s irritating that many peple consider this as one of the worst Bond movies. But if it became the highest grossing Bond adventure at time and reached over 25 million US admissions (god knows how many admissions there were worldwide), they couldn`t have been wrong. Moonraker is a great entertaining movie though you easily get bored with if you watch it occasionally. Top marks, 007. :)

alot of feeling in his fourth bond movie. His Humour helps the movie. Jaws is a good actor. It was hard to believe he turned
good. 5 star rating

Summary: Darling, look at the Moon
Review: MOONRAKER is the name of the US space shuttle hijacked by the bad guy in this movie. Drax, played by Michel Lonsdale is a very cold, psychotic, unemotionless villain with his Japanese henchman who loves creeping about silently in the dead of night spying on 007's extra curricular activities of the amorous kind. Drax's best and thoroughly chilling line is, "Look after Mr. Bond....see that some harm comes to him." which he says in a very deep, flat robotic voice without a smidgeon of expression on his face. Corinne Clery is the delectable, voluptous and curvaceous French actress he dallies with. She is better known for her hot roles in other steamy movies which I confess I have never seen. Anyway, after some discussions of "philosophy" in the bedroom (where else), Bond extracts information among other things from her about her boss, the evil Drax. This of course displeases dastardly Drax who has her torn to pieces by his attack dogs the very next day. She had been his favourite helicopter pilot. What a way to go. I loved the character played by Lois Chiles. She is a deep cover Company (CIA) intelligence officer under official cover as a NASA space scientist on secondment to Drax Corporation. Brains, beauty and breeding; she can make technical adjustments to my space shuttle any time. 007 agrees and they "pool their resources" in Venice horizontally in the bedroom. As the say in Italy, Viva la Amore! The fight scene in Venice in the clock tower is superb with lots of thrills and spills. Theatrical in parts but some of the combat moves do work in real life. Needless to say, Bond despatches the Jap henchman with some good chops and I don't mean lamb chops. The short Jap assassin gets his kicks and dies. The harem of Bond girls in this movie are really beautiful and outstanding, so young, honey sweet and nubile you could have a stroke just looking at them in their skimpy outfits. Certain parts are too jokey and farcical as are all the Bond movies with Roger Moore. Too much humour and not enough gritty action. Only the old hero himself, Sean Connery had it just right. Sean has that certain je nais se quoi that all the rest lack; just the right touch of steely ruthlessness, a soupcon of humour and a dash of romance. Pierce Brosnan is good but overly serious and lacks the humour of Roger. The climactic big battle in outer space is somewhat incredible but what the hell, we go to movies to escape the boring reality of our mundane, humdrum lives, don't we?? "Jaws" is here with his steel teeth and as they say, you can't beat cold steel. He even falls in love with a short blonde Fraulein with 2 long plaited pigtails! This is one of my favourite movies. Recently, on August 14, I was the first gourmet in the world to pair mooncakes with wines in Singapore. In honour of this movie, I gave this project the codename "Moonraker" as I did not want others to hijack my idea. This is great movie to watch with friends and family at home with lots of mooncakes, honey popcorn, beer nuts, a big bag of English Devonshire toffees and Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin demi-sec champagne. I am Dr. Michael Lim The Travelling Gourmet so I know exactly what I am talking about. Shirley Bassey sings the theme song amazingly well. Buy the video or VCD/DVD from Amazon soon and just enjoy!

Summary: gotta be the worst
Review: I Like Every Roger Moore Film Exept for this one, who in the world would want to like this film? I actually think it's the worst bond film ever. The thing i dislike the most about this is Hugo Drax, the worst bond villain of them all. Holly Goodhead is just a misrable bond girl who dislike's bond. If i wanted to watch this movie again, it would probably be next year. Also Jaws turning into a good guy is a stupid idea. You can stuff this film, because there's nothing good about it.

Summary: My favorite movie, but depends on the viewer.
Review: I enjoyed this movie, because it had everything I look for in a Bond film. Here are the four things I liked most about this movie. 1. The biggest thing was Roger Moore's sense of humor. His ability to make jokes in tight situation shows how smooth he is under pressure. It also mixes well with the action. 2. The second point is that it shows how much everyone needs Bond. If it wasn't for him taking inniciative like that, basically (unless Dr. Goodhead could get the job done herself, which I doubt) the world would have ended. 3. I liked the mixture of things in this movie. Jaws put humor into the action without making the movie into a humor film. Then Drax was a great villain. I liked the plan he had to kill everyone on earth and shape it the way he wanted it. I think that Roger Moore and Richard Keil did a better job as enemies though. I really wished he had stayed bad. I loved that part when they first see face to face again after The Spy Who Loved Me, and they exchange that big smile face. 4. This film really had a bunch of great quotes. I like that in a movie. Here are some examples: Drax: You missed, Mr. Bond. (Man falls out of tree)
Bond: Did I? Receptionist: Could I interest you in something?
Bond: I'm tempted to say yes immediately, but I'd maybe have a look around. Goodhead: Oh, come on now, Mr. Bond. A 70-year old could take 7 G's.
Bond: Well, the trouble is there's never a 70-year old around when you need one. Drax: Frederick Gray! What a surprise. And in distinguished company all wearing gas masks. You must excuse me gentlemen. Not being English, I sometimes find your sense of humour rather difficult to follow. Porter: The president suite...!
Bond: Oh really? Don't bother showing me the rest. If I get lost I'll take a cab. Bond: Dinner this evening?
Holly: This evening I'm giving my address.
Bond: Can you think of any reason why we don't have a drink afterwards?
Holly: Not immediately, but I'm sure I shall. Goodhead: Hang on, James!
Bond: The thought had occured to me. M: 007!!
Frederick Gray: My God. What's Bond doing??!!
Q: I think he's attempting re-entry, sir. I could go on and on. Those great quotes are a great part of why Moonraker is my favorite Bond film.
