Uber-cool Seventies Super-spy action!
It has been dismissed as 'silly', 'over the top', even 'crass', but when it comes to feel good movies Moonraker is my main guilty pleasure and here's why. First of all it has some of the best/worst lines of any Bond film and they are delivered with outrageous and hillarious effect. The best example being Q's observation that Bond is "attempting re-entry" as he looks at a panel of instruments, completely missing the image of Bond and Dr. Goodhead's naked embrace on the large screen behind him. Dr. Goodhead is possibly the best Bond girl ever. The steamy-hot Lois Chiles is believable as a NASA scientist/CIA agent and plays the 'strong-female-character-who-inevitably-falls-for Bond's-charms' with great poise. She certainly isn't one-dimensional and has fantastic on screen chemistry with Roger Moore. So finally we come to Mr. Moore's Bond (well, we had been expecting him after all). This is Roger Moore's best performance by far. He looks completely comfortable in his Bond skin (A very 70s suit wearing, disco skin!) and is just on the verge of being way too old for all this, yet he manages to be utterly engaging as a jet-setting, womanizing, super-spy. He is equally matched to a villain and main Bond girl of similar age and personality and is obviously loving every minute of it. The whole thing is extraordinary and remained the most exciting Bond film until Timothy Dalton took over in the late 80s (let's try to forget about the frankly embarassing early 80s Bonds). So buy it on Blu-ray (it looks delicious in HD), crack open a bottle of 70s wine (blue nun or black tower anyone?), make a big bowl of popcorn and sit back for an entertaining two and a half hours!
