Review of Moonraker

Moonraker (1979)
8/10
A Superior James Bond
14 June 2017
James Bond investigates the mid-air theft of a space shuttle and discovers a plot to commit global genocide.

People always say that Sean Connery was the best Bond, but I am starting to doubt this. Roger Moore, whether by coincidence or not, seems to be in the strongest entries in the franchise. "Spy Who Loved Me" is fantastic and this really picks up where that left off.

I especially love the continuing story of Jaws, and how... somehow, someway... he manages to find love in this crazy mixed-up world. This entry also has more comedy than usual, as well as even a hint of western. It seems like they were trying to throw as much in a stew as possible, and it actually works.
