Moonraker review marks Bond film's dazzling visuals
United Artists debuts the eleventh James Bond movie Moonraker with Roger Moore as 007. The plot follows Bond and CIA ally Holly Goodhead chasing Drax's plan to hijack a Moonraker space shuttle and seed Earth with a deadly disease. While visuals shine, Moore's delivery feels sluggish and Lonsdale's villain lacks conviction. The climax features a galactic showdown echoing Star Wars, and the film remains visually striking though not as strong narratively.
