Product Description

Product Description

Lewis Gilbert directs the eleventh instalment of the James Bond franchise. When a space shuttle goes missing during a test flight, James Bond (Roger Moore) is the man who must track it down. His investigations take him to Venice, Rio de Janeiro and finally into outer space where he uncovers a ruthless plot to wipe out the human race and replace it with genetically engineered humanoids.

From Amazon.co.uk

This was the first James Bond adventure produced after the success of Star Wars, so it jumped on the sci-fi bandwagon by combining the suave appeal of Agent 007 (once again played by Roger Moore) with enough high-tech hardware and special effects to make Luke Skywalker want to join Her Majesty's Secret Service. After the razzle-dazzle of The Spy Who Loved Me, this attempt to latch onto a trend proved to be a case of overkill, even though it brought back the steel-toothed villain Jaws (Richard Kiel) and scored a major hit at the box office. This time Bond is up against a criminal industrialist named Drax (Michel Lonsdale) who wants to control the world from his orbiting space station. In keeping with his well-groomed style, Bond thwarts this maniacal Neo-Hitler's scheme with the help of a beautiful, sleek-figured scientist (played by Lois Chiles with all the vitality of a department-store mannequin). There's a grand-scale climax involving space shuttles and ray guns, but despite the film's popular success, this is one Bond adventure that never quite gets off the launching pad. It's as if the caretakers of the James Bond franchise had forgotten that it's Bond--and not a barrage of gizmos and gadgets (including a land-worthy Venetian gondola)--that fuels the series' success. Despite Moore's passive performance (which Pauline Kael described as "like an office manager who is turning into dead wood but hanging on to collect his pension"), Moonraker had no problem attracting an appreciative audience, and there are even a few renegade Bond-philes who consider it one of their favourites. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A space shuttle is stolen enroute to London and M sends 007 out to apologise to the shuttle creator, billionaire Hugo Drax.

While visiting Drax's estate several attempts are made on Bond's life, making Drax himself the number one suspect. Bond meets Dr. Holly Goodhead, a NASA scientist who is also a CIA agent investigating Drax.

Their investigations lead Bond to discover a plot to murder the world's population so that Drax can repopulate the planet in his image.

The mission takes Bond all over the world, California, Brazil, the Amazon Jungle and, finally, to Drax's huge space-city over the Earth. Drax,

meanwhile, has hired a old friend of Bond to take care of any problems.....

It's ironic that Jaws makes another appearance in this movie, because is the movie where Moore and the creators really jumped the shark with Bond. I'm not saying its a bad film, I really enjoy watching it, it's just unbelievable that this movie is from the same franchise as From Russia With Love, and even Skyfall.

Moore once again is great as the worlds most famous secret agent, and while this is the film where he really starts to show his age, he and the rest of the cast and crew are clearly having a ball.

It's clearly cashing in on Star Wars, but unlike other copycats, this has a really good story, amazing concept, and pretty wonderful narrative. It's just that when the film goes daft, it gives us double taking pigeons and that gondola.

Action scenes are as good as expected, but this time, whenever Jaws is on screen, he doesn't feel as threatening as he should, because we know he's there because he was just so popular.

roger moore returns in his 4th 007 james bond film that sets it self in outerspace with the return of well over 7 feet tall richard jaws kiel in his 2nd and the only bad guy to return in back to back films, plus jaws is one of my fav bad turn good guys when he even falls in love for a girl as well in the end, i even got a signed photo and book of him couple years ago on a shopping channel selling james bond toy cars and film dvds and a book about his life on other films like pale rider that stars along side clint eastwood and other t.v shows his done and what amazing great actor he is, a real respected nice man only thing now is to meet roger moore or sean connery would be even more amazing!! but the film moonraker is one of the all time classics the follow up to the spy who loved me i give this film 4 stars out of 5 real great and funny over the top action movie where now days they give more darker storys to newer james bond films still good but you just cant beat the old classics like roger moore or sean connery or timmothy dalton playing 007, i remember my mum and dad telling me they use to go and watch bond films at the cinema in the 1960's/70's where in the mid 1980's i would remember going to see roger moores last james bond film in a view to a kill another great classic and also seeing timmothy dalton taking over in the next 007 film the living daylights way back in 1987 or shown again on front of your own t.v before dvds or videos were around, plus whats nice about this is you get loads of extras on the 2nd dvd behind the scenes of the making of moonraker and interviews with the cast and crew the picture and sound are up to date dts 5.1 surround sound and in perfect h.d picture, the rare newer[2008] gold/white boxcover is a update from the black and silver ulitmate edition two dvd boxcover from [2006].

The five star rating is for the product, not necessarily for the film. The remastered DVD is first class. And the extras included in the Ultimate Collection (2 disks) are plentiful.

If you like the film or not is a matter of personal preference and probably even depends on your mood on the day. This is Bond at its campiest. It is actually great fun to watch, and Jaws' romance is almost touching and utterly un-Bondian. Moonraker is a product of its time. A Star Wars it is not, but hey, the next year gave us that campiest space opera of all time: Flash Gordon.

I loved this film when it first came out (at a time when the dark and intense Bond of Dalton and Craig was still in the distant future), then over the years more or less forgot about it. When I watched it again lately in the course of a Bond marathon I was aware of the very low regard for the film these days. Thus it came as a pleasant surprise that I found myself hugely entertained. Just as long as you don't expect anything other than silly laughs with high production values you may enjoy this one more than you'd like to admit.

This is a good Bond film and I would argue the 4th best Roger Moore outing as Bond (For me behind 'The Spy Who Loved Me', 'Live and Let Die' and 'A View To a Kill'. It struck me that they want to show the epic scale of the Bond villain's (Drax's) operation which is effectively huge industry a European country estate in the middle of California, 6 interconnected underground silos each housing a space rocket and a huge space station invisible to radar. I think I have missed this kind of scale in more recent Bond films. In addition Jaws is back and it's good to see how Bond has to improvise to defeat this immensely strong and dangerous opponent. I thought the concept of giving up on Earth and starting a space colony of only the elite and interesting idea. This film has one of my favourite Bond quotes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrDcxIFCvNk.
