Review of Moonraker (1979) by William C — 28 Jan 2015

Grade:Lower 6/10.

Moonraker is a Bond film which is although far from the best, and far.

Even from Moore's best but still manages to entertain and can be.

Enjoyed quite a bit(if you ignore the absurdities). With a good cast.

And a villain that was wasted though, Moonraker is a film that will.

Split peoples decision and some will also love it. I felt it was.

Solidly OK- ish and maybe moving towards being OK, and here is why I.

Felt that about it.

The story is fast and fun and although of course is a more silly,.

Outlandish Bond plot, it can still be thoroughly entertaining. The pace.

Is slow and takes a little while to really get stuck into the plot.

Nevertheless it could be rewarding for some, I meanwhile felt average.

On that point. Finally on plot it is crazy at the end now I won't tell.

You, but Oh my it truly is crazy and you may see what I am talking.

About, it dragged it's mark down considerably which was only about a 5.

Minute scene.

Moore is fun of course and does what we always expect from him with his.

Humorous performance and light hearted action, he manages an OK job,.

Even among all the excess mess. The rest of the cast do not do that.

Well really and although I did feel it was poor that wise, they manages.

To not destroy this film. Finally on the characters the villain named.

Drax was actually kind of a good bad guy and managed even with his bad.

Acting performance to feel sinister and a good example of how to.

Portray super villains.

The script is poor and very much overly trying to be humorous and just.

Ruins the dialogues too. Directing is also poor and both contribute to.

The more poorer scenes, but they don't really affect it much. I did.

Enjoy the gadgets with some cool contraption being made by not just Q.

But also Drax who's safe I felt was a piece of art(in film). The.

Cinematography wasn't too bad either and with some great shots of the.

Second half of the film, it looks pretty good along with the ridged.

Plot.

The film is pretty poor though and most of is ridiculous, although I.

Did say it was entertainment and that is what it is. The things I have.

Already criticised are it's main bad points and not much else has to.

Really be said either but if any little extra points have to be put.

Down it is in the sense that the film continues it's point of making.

Bond much more lighter since Connery left his role as Bond.

Bond series film fans should enjoy as always but I believe most won't.

Find this there favourite one of all time with it's crazy plot, even.

For Roger Moore as Bond!. You can enjoy it I know it and I did too but.

It seriously isn't near being a straight good film, could be the worst.

Of the Bond series but that is up to you, but maybe a heads up for.

Those hoping to watch all the Bond's, Moonraker is not up to scratch.

Overall a lower 6/10 meaning Solidly Kind of OK and with some fun parts like I.

Was saying, it can be entertaining for those willing to just let.

Themselves go and stop thinking about what secret agents really do in.

This world. I feel a good point about this is it's craze with space as.

Bond has never been and a Bond hasn't been set there either but it is.

Interesting to see the sets used in space here which do turn out well,.

They actually possibly make the film just a little tiny but better.
