I thought I was a Bond fan but after seeing this I'm starting to have my doubts. Usually praised as one of the best Bond films I was very disappointed. Good pre-title sequence leading to the usual great song and titles (though they are starting to resemble more and more like a 70's porn film), then we're introduced to the Russian spy and your thinking nice twist it's a woman, then she opens her mouth, oh dear, how on earth did Barbara Bach get such a major part when she plainly can't act to save her life. I haven't seen a more wooden performance since I last saw Thunderbirds! Roger Moore seemed to have left his charm at home as some of his witty comments were more offensive than funny. The pacing of the film seemed all wrong and it felt very flat in places. It wasn't all bad 'Jaws' is a great henchman, the car/boat was ingenious and Marvin Hamlisch's score was surprisingly good. But on the whole a dog of a film. Just to add some more controversy I saw Moonraker at the end of last year and thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.(3/10)
