Bond going into space is often the reason this film is called silly but I’d say as soon as those rockets launch this film is actually quite beautiful and a far more sensible part of the film than any of the Earth based stuff. In Space no one can see a pigeon double take.
The space scenes are indeed beautiful and I’d argue it’s more grounded than some other things in the film. I quite like Moonraker and find it to be one of the most fun to view
This is John Barry at some of his best. Overall, this is a rather ridiculous James Bond film, but it is hard to beat John Barry's music for adding drama, menace, and awe.
The way things are going, this movie makes 100% sense. By the way, Elon Musk has 44 satellites circling the earth. You don't know what the billionaires have planned out for humanity.
Moonraker is the best 007 movie as far as I’m concerned, because of how high the stakes are. This is one of the few movies in which Bond truly saves the world (in the most literal sense in this case).
Drax's plan is definitely one of the most deadly, and his methods are quite clear. In comparison, Stromberg in The Spy Who Loved Me makes it out that if he destroys merely Washington and Moscow, the entire world will just want to live underwater with him. And then there's Safin from No Time To Die, but I'm still trying to figure out whether he wants to rule to world, destroy it, or simply get revenge on a few people.
Moonraker was released in June 1979. Bond's Space Shuttle Flight was supposed to take place around the same time as the actual shuttle launch by NASA. Unfortunately, due to technically difficulties, NASA's launch didn't happen until mid April 1981 - almost 2 years after Moonraker's release. Consequently, for many, Moonraker came across more as science fiction than science fact.
Sure, he has produced more famous and distinctive individual themes - but as a single piece of varied, multi-themed music I honestly believe this is the best work that Barry ever did for Bond. The passage from 4:26 is just amazing

Billionaire I'm to space fact these days bond first lol
Moonraker was only made to cash in on the rise of science fiction considering Moonraker came out in 1979 two years after Star Wars
This amazing Bond film had an actual space launch! Glad it got a fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes!

Absolutely, it is some of the very best, to that even, some of the best film music of the 20th century.
this rather ...ridiculous film is at my top best . i enjoyed it .

Correctly.

It is a divisive Bond film, it's like a bubble-bath night at a club. Silly as hell, but just jump in, and get amongst it. Don't fight it, feel it! 😺👍
Couldn’t have put it better myself. Soak up the fun, don’t act so glum. It is what it is, and for what it is, it’s a remarkably well made film.

The passage from 4:26 is just amazing
Roger was fun as bond
WOW, the best part of this theme is at 1:40!
I listen to this to remind me of all the people ive lost and how i can try and overcome my pain 😢
“An entire city in space, and still nothing on the radar scanner”
1:45 down
Barry's best piece?
007 and Counting
@@q.h.s5051 YESS!!
Love that track
Roger Moore's second best after Spy Who Loved Me.
Plutôt le 3ème meilleur je dirais.
How right you are!
Other some comedic moments I thought the film was really good.
Elon Musk love this song
