Moonraker (1979) - Moonraker (1979) ORIGINAL TRAILER [HD 1080p]

The most positive review

**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 silliness that the Bond franchise has always embraced.
It's a shame that the 2006 reboot threw it all away and chose to run away from being Bond films.

The most negative review

They can't all be winners.
I mean, yeah it was action packed and the fight over the parachute was really cool. 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 from the start.
