**THE BIGGEST BOND OF ALL!** Moonraker is a joy from beginning to end. Huge spectacle, stunning locations, lashings of humour, superb stunts, sexy ladies, a despicable and memorable villain, great special effects and of course, the legendary Sir Roger Moore as James Bond. Elements of You Only Live Twice - spaceships swallowing spaceships - are expanded upon here and Moonraker fits right in with the classic sil…

One of the best of the Moore era I steered clear of “Moonraker” (1979) for years because critics almost unanimously said it was awful. So when I finally sat down to view it I fully expecting a dog. Wrong! “Moonraker” is thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end and is one of the best of Roger Moore's 7-movie stint in the series. The plot revolves around 007 investigating Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale) after…

And Bond did have space elements in the movies before... but Moonraker kind of felt like it was jumping the shark a bit here. Thankfully it recovered, but this was a little too much for a 007 movie. And that is saying something because, when you go see a 007 movie you expect it to be a little too much …

This has the great 007 elements, but misses a bit. We get the wit, we get the beautiful women, we get the gadgets, we get the non stop action, and we even get Jaws, a fan favorite, back. Jaws even gets to speak. Maybe it was in the contract. What is missing is the exotic locations and beautiful scenery. We do get outer space and jungles and water, but we don't quite get the exotic beauty that makes Bond films so sp…
