Our Review
While “Moonraker” may deviate from the typical Bond formula by venturing into space, it remains an entertaining romp packed with the franchise’s signature action and charm. Moore’s charisma shines, and the blend of terrestrial and extraterrestrial settings offers a unique twist. While not everyone’s favorite 007 adventure, it’s an ambitious outing that deserves its place in the Bond canon.
