Bond in spaaaaaaaaaaaaaace

Moonraker (1979)

Directed by Lewis Gilbert the 11th film in the Bond franchise stars Roger Moore, Lois Chiles, Michael Lonsdale and Richard Kiel. After a space shuttle being transported to the UK goes missing 007 is put on the case.

The plot of this film does more than push the bounds of believability at times and some of the action sequences get down right silly. While the special effects for the film were nominated for an Oscar it is hard to find much else to like about this film. Even the theme song is one of the weakest in the franchise and marks this film as a real disappointment given it's direct predecessor.


2/5
