At this point Bond had officially devolved into a Looney Toon - but don't worry, it's just as funny. I suggest a drinking game where you take a shot whenever 1) there's shameless product placement or 2) any reference to oral sex. If you include Jaws in the latter, you'll be in orbit before 007 gets there.

First & perhaps most importantly, the main Bond girl, Lois Chiles, is a huge improvement over Bach in the last one: she can act & has a fire in her eyes that one expects from a secret agent. She still goes to bed far too easily with Bond, as does every other female. It's eye-rollingly ridiculous male fantasy & the finale shamelessly tries to copy Star Wars to no great effect. Fortunately some of the locales are beautiful & there's some fantastic aerial stunts even if you can see it isn't Moore.

Write a new film? Why bother! Just grab a Spy Who Loved Me script and cross out all the watery parts and add spacey eugenics and boom! A shameless attempt to hop aboard the Star Wars train, sadly raker is snail-paced schlock. Medical school was probably tough for Dr Holly Goodhead . Lovely score/sets. Jaws finds love, why can’t you? The bowl cut in a karate gi is probably up to no good. The climatic space laser tag battle was shit. Attempting re-entry is a poor man’s keeping the British end up.

The opening sequence is such a microcosm for how this movie fits into the franchise--the skydiving stunt itself is wonderful and engaging, and then the movie seems to purposefully decide it wants to be a clunker by having that scene end with Jaws falling into a literal circus with circus music playing. Bond in space as a concept seems terrible, and it actually may have been ok if it wasn't such a clear attempt to capitalize on the success of Star Wars.

It wasn't that good. A bit of a forgettable Bond movie. The whole third reich theme and the laserfights in space are too cheesy to watch. However, I really like the Jaws character in the movie. Everyone gets a happy ending. The other thing which stood out for me was the use of extremely silly humor.

So extremely silly. I don't have problem with that, but the problem is that it's not even that much fun when it's silly. Also call me a simpleminded fella but what's the point of Bond getting laid all the time if we don't see a single sex scene anyway? I've never been into 007 films when I was a kid and I guess that not much changed in that regard.

Much maligned Bond entry is actually very entertaining for about an hour, especially if you (like every woman in the universe, if you believe the movie) are susceptible to Moore's Bond, who reaches the zenith of his eyebrow raising smarminess, and turns the film into a not unwelcome parody of its own genre. However, the midsection becomes a rushed travelogue before the infamous 'Bond In Space' finale, which could have been fun, if it wasn't so dreary and by rote. Lonsdale makes a fine villian.

Moonraker is arguably the silliest Bond film of them all and although it thrilled me as a child, looking back its by far one of the weakest in the series. Roger Moore doesn't hold back with the cheesiness and at this point has completely made the character his own and unrecognisable of any other actor to play Bond to date. Bar the return of Jaws, central villain Hugo Drax is dull and the same can be said for the Bond girls. Great sky diving opening sequence, but the wrest is too camp and silly.

Such an awesome movie. Definitely one of the best in the Bond series. A few problems with the on-again/off-again gravity, but overall a highly entertaining adventure. A great villain, beautiful locales, hot chicks, nice boat chases, good fights, hang gliding, skydiving, outer space, and just the right quantity of one-liners. It's one of the only Bond films that doesn't have enormous stretches of boring during the first half. Overall, excellent.

Lewis Gilbert seems to have surpassed himself in this tight, suspenseful film.

What's the point of a franchise if you don't go to space, am-I right? In this case, they clearly wanted to capitalise on disco and Star Wars while it was hot. Before the ending, it's silly but it goes. The ending, well it takes a dip into clown territory. Drax's quote of "Mr Bond, you defy all my attempts to plan an amusing death for you" has you realise just how many silly and unsuccessful attempts there were after all. I guess it's still entertaining, to my dismay. The action was fun too.

Despite the bad rap this movie gets, I truly enjoyed this. Does anything but take itself seriously and is easily the campiest of the bunch so far: the opening, the cable car scene (!), Bond fighting Asian Anton Chigurh, and whoever came up with the name Dr. Goodhead deserves a raise. They really went all out with the stunts, which clearly influenced so many future action movies.

"In space...no one can hear you bone." Thank God for the U.S. Space Force! The most ludicrous Bond yet, but fun locales (Venice, Rio, secret base in an ancient temple) and lots of silly laser action done by dozens of people running around a space station when they should be floating. Could have used some space samurai wizards.

I thought this was kind of stupid when I saw it in my teens. Now I can say it's a surreal camp masterpiece with lots of gorgeous locales, cool action sequences, along with some truly bizarre, ed wood meets luis bunuel-like moments (the dog chase, the clown in the alley, the gaucho scene, the melting dummy, snake wrestling, etc...) Hugo Drax is Bond villainy at its most constipated, and Jaws is terrific. Only Dr. Goodhead bores. Otherwise, fun stuff.

Biased Score - 88% | Unbiased Score - 68%, Super silly, really aged space film, but it also has a few really, really memorable sequences as well. Like the skydiving opening scene where Bond is free-falling without a parachute and attacks another skydiver to get his chute? Amazing. The fight behind the clocktower? Beautiful. The fight on top of the gondolas? Tense. The space battle with laser guns? Laughable, but still a good time.

Known as the worst Bond movie of them all (because of the weird space laser fights - trying to run on the success of the first star wars movie). Actually I quite enjoyed this Bond: best badguys ever (Jaws becomes a friend and Hugo Drax is just awesome!), lots of Bond girls in 1 movie and a ton of different locations for cool fights :D. The funny thing I noticed is that Bond always ends up at the right place by accident hahaha

I do use the word 'meandering' a lot in my Bond reviews and by Golly I'm going to do it again, because this movie took forever to get to the point and it stretched out time with bad jokes and some admittedly entertaining action scenes. And Bond as a walking human disaster, cool and unfazed in his crisp suits while everyone around him have their priceless glass collection smashed or are torn apart by dogs.

At times it does go too silly and it's not a narrative that stands up to scrutiny, but even with a crazy out of this world storyline that gets more absurd by the minute it still feels like the most genuine of the Moore Bond films. The action scenes are fun and varied, the interplay between Bond and Goodhead is well balanced, and the world spanning spy intrigue is actually interesting.

I was expecting a "James, I love you to the moon and back" but was sorely disappointed. The final Roger Moore movie of the 70's, this one takes a very sci-fi approach. There is even a very Star Wars-like fight towards the end with laser guns and everything. Roger Moore once again, still hasn't been in my good graces. I loved the name of Dr. Goodhead, but as far as Bond girls, she is also kind of forgettable. Drax was kind of a good villain, especially his name sounds cool...

Jaws was such a good villain that they brought him back again. He has a nice Vaderesque turn and it wouldn't surprise me if Lucas stole that idea from this film. The harem of women is nice and this is Moore at his funniest (if you had the '69 I'd know you were expecting me). Villain is forgettable and uninteresting and will rank among the Blofeld's of the world. A totally absurd movie that people will either love or hate completely. I just like it for what it is - campy, fun and not serious.

Good GOD my attention wandered during this movie. Maybe if I'd watched it with a group I'd have found some entertainment in the sheer lunacy of this one, but after how fun The Spy Who Loved me was (watching these in order), this was a huge, dumb, disappointment. Jaws is great as a villain but facepalm-worthy as a comic relief sidekick type, and even all the other goofy stuff was just kind of dull. I'm a big fan of Bond, but this one was just too much for me.

I've been mostly lukewarm to the Bond films I've seen but this goofy piece of shit really takes the cake. It wasn't even fun goofy, I was just mostly bored at all the dumb stuff happening.

It's only getting this high of a score because of those 2 things and that skydiving action scene at the beginning of the movie.

Moonraker is the weakest Bond film so far. The editing is bad. The fight sequences re-employ the ghastly use of sped-up footage. The tone is all over the place; starting off too serious, switching to slapstick, missing out on the quippy suaveness that is Bond. Moore's looking a little older, but it's the shocking lack of chemistry between all the characters that is detrimental to the film. Bassey & Jaws are back, though the latter did win me over even if he's ill-fitting in the film.

By a narrow margin, the second worst Bond film. Okay, few of the films have much to do with the source materials, but how a really intense spy novel about a forgotten Nazi double agent-cum-industrialist plotting to blow up London with a nuclear missile the British government paid him to manufacture became a bland Star Wars cash-in is anyone's guess. Despite that, it would have been a forgivable sin had the movie not been so unwatchable.

Another consistent yet rather stale Roger Moore-driven Bond film. Being a sci-fi fan probably helped my appreciation of it because the visuals are stunning, despite the whole thing being a bit flat. It helped that Lonsdale was amazing, though. What does leave a sour taste though, are the supposed comedy scenes and jokes that Bond keeps cracking; he is supposed to be a witty and fast-thinking spy, not a comedian. At least Jaws turned in the end. Biased view but still a bog-standard Bond effort.

MOONRAKER is considered one of the worst Bonds, but it's not THAT bad--it's just not that good, either. It's unquestionably well-produced, with lavish sets, state-of-the-art special effects, and another fine John Barry score. But it definitely lacks a sense of vitality--it's deadly slow at times--and Moore doesn't do much with it, nor does Lois Chiles, who's decidedly uncharismatic. Michael Lonsdale, however, is an enjoyably low-key villain, and Richard Kiel's Jaws makes a welcome return.

The weakest entry in the long-running James Bond series (with _A View to a Kill_ a close second), this is also one of the biggest moneymakers in the series and the most science fiction oriented. Practically a remake of _The Spy Who Loved Me_. Kiel returns from SWLM as indestructible hitman Jaws but he's played here as more of a cartoon than a threat; Lee makes his last appearance as M. Great special FX and a heartstopping opening stunt sequence but overall a bust
