This film, starring Roger Moore as James Bond, set in the latter 70s, early 80s, concerns Bond vz Drax. The storyline appears to have been significantly influenced by the successes of Star Wars and other big named films.
The Moonraker class shuttle was highjacked, drawing James Bond into the fracas. This too is the second, Richard Kiel as "Jaws". The film is rather campy with the one liners of Moore and his comedian style of acting. Since Roger Moore is part and parcel of the Bond franchise, these films must be borne in consideration. I found Moonraker to be rather a showpiece of Roger Moore as a Glam version of James Bond. The film is more comedy, campy and over-the-top, not to be taken to seriously. Again, about 30 years have almost passed since this was made. This does influence the decision of the rating as perhaps of it's day, this style and interpretation was relevant. Today, it weighs against the film. I must state my inputs of why a certain decision was necessary. The film has with regret, been adversely marked down by the consequences thereof. I award it a 5 of 10. This film did not age well or mature over the timeframe. As stated, it suffered, not maturing. I must say however, at the time, it was entertaining. The film does add value to the overall series. Roger Moore was a total reinvention of James Bond, one that had it's charms and quirks, for the day. To adapt or incorparate the elements of Science Fiction, not always the practical consideration either. Had the character been gritty or realistic, aging would not have been a factor as it became. -- Sent from my mobile device Love yourself if no one else does.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Joe Bob's Trailer Park" group.
