Reviews

Moonraker, the space-themed James Bond film, received mixed reviews from critics upon its release in 1979. While some praised the film's ambitious scope and entertaining action sequences, others criticized its over-the-top elements and departure from the more grounded espionage narratives that defined the Bond franchise. Rotten Tomatoes gave Moonraker a 60% rating, noting that while the film's visual effects were impressive for the time, the plot strayed into absurd territory. IMDb rated the movie 6.2/10, with some viewers appreciating the blend of sci-fi and spy genres, while others found it too campy. Metacritic landed in the middle with a score of 66/100, acknowledging the film's grandiose spectacle but questioning its coherence. Despite the mixed reception, Moonraker remains a standout entry in the Bond series for its iconic moments and bold attempt to venture into space.
