Moonraker, a review by Rich

Moonraker



Agent 007 blasts into orbit in this action-packed adventure that takes him to Venice, Rio de Janeiro and outer space. When Bond investigates the hijacking of an American space shuttle, he and beautiful CIA agent Holly Goodhead are soon locked in a life-or-death struggle against Hugo Drax, a power-mad industrialist whose horrific scheme may destroy all human life on earth!

Clumsy special effects, disappointing storyline, and Moore possibly his worst as Bond. Drax (Lonsdale) was not a good villain in my opinion, but the return of Jaws (and speaking!) was a highlight.
The settings were pretty spectacular all round, Venice and Brazil standing out, but must of eaten in to the huge budget considerably. There are action spectaculars within the film, the girls of course are beautiful (how do they get away with calling one Holly Goodhead??) especially gorgeous was Corinne Clery, and the opening halo descent was amazing.
But it is all a bit too tongue in cheek - Star Wars in mind - tick the boxes - for my liking, so I would only go as far as saying this 007 was just above average.

This one surprised me. I liked it much better than expected. For one thing I never really liked Kareena Kapoor. But in this movie she was very likable.
Also this movie is finally again a romantic comedy similar to the classic "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" than most of the recent Bollywood movies that I have watched.

My Thoughts:
A pretty good start to the new season... though nothing really mind blowing. It does however give you a good idea of the turn the series has taken. I remember the first time I saw this I wasn't sure how I felt about what they did to Gunn... and to this day years later I am still not sure I am all together happy with it. But it isn't something terrible either.

My Rating:
