I’m utterly torn on Moonraker. I think the villain’s great, the opening’s great, the settings are great, the set pieces are great, the pace is great. Even some of the lines are better than usual in the Moores, such as “At least I shall have the pleasure of putting you out of my misery” (admittedly, of course, not one delivered by Moore himself). And yet they blast off into space and fight with pyoo-pyoo lasers, which didn’t need to happen and is laughable. And yet, then again, most of the movie is so good. For the most part I like it, all things considered, but… Gah, why’d they go for outer space? (Yes, I know, Star Wars. Rhetorical question.)
