Secret Agent Spaceman! Jun 07, 2010
I love Bond's determination in MOONRAKER; there are so many opportunities for him to just give up and go home, but he sticks with it and eventually saves the world.

Europe BEWARE ! Jun 02, 2010
I orderd this item for its lovely steel packaging , and waited 2 and a half weeks only to be VERY, VERY miffed that this 30 year old film for some stupid reason is Region A ...
There are NO details of this information from any of the sellers vending this Blu-Ray , and I am very puzzled to why AMAZON felt that the U.S. should have this addition packaging and not share it with the rest of the world.
So , I have a lovely collectable case , and now have to buy the dam moive again over here in this backward counrty just to please the film company. All for the reason that a 32 year old movie has to be encoded one way, incase the other side of planet Earth gets ripped off before the other...
Well done "United Artist" , I don't think I'll bother buying any more of your films and just tape them from the TV instead !!
Europe beware , do not buy this unless you have a region free Blu-Ray player , (like I wish I had..)

Don't be fooled, this is terrible! May 05, 2010
Fantastical adventures across Venice, The Brazillian Rainforest, and even Space! This is like Close Encounters, The Time Machine and Star wars all wrapped in one. You get it all! The plot is no less entertaining, the villain is nefarious and twisted, the gadgets do their job, and as usual there are girls a plenty. The problem with this film, is the obvious pretension the filmmakers had in out-doing the previous Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. How could we possibly take Bond to the next level? All of elements are fine, but are inherently flawed, which in the end makes the whole FAR FAR worse than the sum of it's halfway decent parts. There are plenty of great action scenes--but there are WAY too many. The entire plot is James seeking out the mystery of Drax's operation, but being stopped by a gondola assassin here, a boat chase there...Maybe as a saturday morning cartoon or a video games this works, but c'mon, even Bond has standards...

I can't even go on...basically this movie is ridiculous. You have Jaws flapping his wings to circus music in the opening scene, James Bond riding a hover craft gondola through Venice--while a pigeon--A PIGEON!!! does a double-take, then there is Bond wrestling an albino python deep in the Brazilian rainforest and to cap it off a horrible laser battle climax that looks like they borrowed graphics from an Atari 2600 game. Even James Bond in his own movie can't help holding back the disbelief: "Moneypenny I was being chased by a ski lift...aw nevermind." Watch this movie for the one-liners...that's about it...or maybe the breathtaking views of Rio de Jeneiro. The great tragedy, is the fact that this movie could have been very good! The story premise is interesting. However, they introduce the villain too early on, and from there it becomes a giant chase scene to kill Bond. Lois Chiles as Holly Goodhead has some of the worst acting in the whole series. Sure, the 'hot' models in the 60's films weren't great, but at least they didn't seem like they were reciting lines for their high school play. I digress...Good luck.

Hi-def can't save this clunker Dec 06, 2009
Not the worst Bond, but very close. Moonraker looks great in blu-ray, but as the saying goes, you can polish a turd but it'll still be crap.

Having seen every Bond film many times, some of them many dozens, I feel confident in saying, this one sucks. It was great the week it came out and I was a kid in the thrall of all things Star Wars-ish, but that's who this film was made for: pre-teens who have never read a Fleming Bond book and don't understand what this character is meant to be.

Here, Bond is pure cartoon. Other reviewers feel this is better than Live And Let Die and Golden Gun, but I say, not even close. Those two are campy but fun; this one is merely campy and stupid. Terrible script, jokes so bad they're not even wryly funny, and on. I hadn't seen this one since the 80s and realized why: it is indeed not worth watching except for Bond completists. The scenery here is lovely in blu-ray, but I can watch travel shows in HD if that's all I want.

Moore is obviously bored and as bad a Bond here as Brosnan ever was, maybe worse. But what to expect from a film that was, according to the producers (on the decent extras doc, the only worthwhile thing here), a complete Star Wars exploitation flick? Nothing, and that's what we get.

I would watch the first five Bond films a dozen times each before I'd get bored enough to watch ten minutes of this, and then only the first ten, as they're the only remotely decent thing here.

I love Bond films when they're smart and fun; Moonraker is neither, and blu-ray in some ways only highlights how cheesy this movie really is.

A middling Bond movie Nov 13, 2009
Bond in space. With lasers. For me this is lower on my list of favorite Bond movies. The gadgets weren't that great, the music was not the best and the plot was even more over the top than usual. I am also not the biggest fan of Roger Moore's interpretation of Bond and his psyche. He is much more comical and soft than the Bonds before and after him. The Blu-Ray is a nice clean up of the picture, but there is only so much that can be done with the older movies before the special effects work becomes obvious. The soundtrack is probably the most improved aspect of this movie vs. the DVD. The color and contrast of the film is also greatly improved vs the DVD.
