Yaaron R @KompetenterMedi Feb 9 Bigger setting, smaller payoff Moonraker throws Bond into space, but it mostly magnifies the same problems. The "Bond girl is a trap" routine returns, Drax is so obviously the villain that there is no fun in the reveal, and the plot runs on convenience more than logic. The opening parachute scene briefly promises excitement, then quickly exposes the film’s technical limits, a pattern repeated with fights that rely on sped up footage to fake impact. The space laser sequence is especially weak, even if the idea of a villain lair in orbit is fine on paper. Jaws still feels like a prop, only gaining personality in the Dolly moments. A few Moore one liners land, but the rest is tired, clumsy, and exhausting. See more Alec B @Alec97 Feb 9 Basically a remake of its predecessor. Incredibly ridiculous (even by this series' standards the gondola hovercraft and the space battle are really nuts) but I also kind of love it. Beautiful sets, Jaws is the movie's Wile E. Coyote until he switches sides, and this is the one time that you get a sense of why the main villain has so many henchmen (it's a cult!)

Há também o que muitos consideram o primeiro grande **salto sem paraquedas** da história do cinema de ação moderno. A produção é luxuosa, exagerada e claramente influenciada pelo sucesso de *Star Wars*, apostando em bases estelares, laboratórios futuristas e cenários que mudam constantemente — o espectador literalmente dá uma volta ao mundo. nota final:** **7 / 10** See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jan 25 The worldwide gross is $210,300,000.00. See more Erin M @Mightymotes Jan 15 Great Bond movie with crazy and interesting antics, gadgets and plot twists and turns. Roger Moore is one of the most unique and charming 007. Lots of action and laughs. If you can’t enjoy this you’re doing something wrong in life! Watched it so many times when I was growing up and thought it was super cool and recently watched it again and it’s still a stellar Bond movie night with popcorn and beers.

Review: Roger Moore’s James Bond blasts off into orbit in Moonraker, delivering a visually ambitious—but narratively shaky—adventure. The film trades traditional espionage for science-fiction spectacle, with Hugo Drax’s plan for global annihilation and space-based antics stretching the franchise’s credibility. While Moore’s charm and wit remain intact, even he can’t fully anchor the film’s outlandish plot. The space battles, zero-gravity stunts, and exotic locales are visually striking, yet the story often feels cartoonish, and the film leans heavily into humor at the expense of suspense. Lois Chiles’ Holly Goodhead provides a competent ally, but her character lacks the depth of earlier Bond girls. Verdict: Moonraker entertains with scale and imagination, but its campy excess and implausible story prevent it from reaching the heights of the series’ best adventures, making it a mixed, if visually dazzling, outing.
