I, quite honestly, liked Moonraker. It had all the usual nessicary bond components like gadgets from Q, girls galore, and that classic, and much loved James Bond carismatic charm, and humor. Also I loved the locations at was shot in, it want from Venice, Italy all the way to Outer space.

I think, in respect to yours and many others comments on the space station that has yet to become a possibility even today, let alone in 1979; Your forgetting that throughout the entire James Bond series their have been too many futuristic and unbelievable gadgets etc. for one to count. We're as close to capable to develope an outer space city as we are to developing, radioactive lint!?!, or the BMW featured in Tomorrow Never Dies. I can't recall in which one, but in one of the Connery, Bond films, made in the 1960s , a car Phone was featured (clearly well ahead of its time.) James Bond is all about futuristic devices, gadgets ect.

So, in closing, when looked at in comparison to ALL of the James bond films, Moonraker is not such a bad entry. I mean, come on, you can't deny that Drax was a deliciously sinister Villian. Jaws was even more enjoyable a henchman then he was in The Spy Who Loved Me, and the exotic locations were stunninlgy well shot. Lets not forget the fight in Venini Glass, or the undeniably entertaining battle with the python. So all things considered, Moonraker was pretty damn good.
