Moonraker Movie Download Hd
James Bond is back for another mission and this time, he is blasting off into space. A spaceship traveling through space is mysteriously hi-jacked and Bond must work quickly to find out who was behind it all. He starts with the rockets creators, Drax Industries and the man behind the organisation, Hugo Drax. On his journey he ends up meeting Dr. Holly Goodhead and encounters the metal-toothed Jaws once again.
I personally didn't love or hate Moonraker. It has a lot of flaws, but it does have strengths too. What didn't quite work so well is that the plot is unexceptional on the whole, while apart from Sir Hugo Drax's dialogue the script has a lot of ups and downs. Also the film does drag quite badly, and the film goes on for too long I think. However, whether in space, in Venice or in Rio Moonraker is visually striking thanks to the decent special effects and lovely cinematography. John Barry's score is also really good, not his best, but one of his better Bond scores I think. The direction is not too bad really, while the acting is better than it is given credit for. Michael Lonsdale steals the show, while Lois Chiles is good enough as Holly Goodhead and it was nice to see Richard Kiel as Jaws again. Roger Moore has been better but he wasn't awful either, in fact I liked him and feel he was much more convincing than he was in A View to a Kill, where he was starting to show his age. Overall, not the best Bond or the best of the Roger Moore Bonds(personally I think that goes to Spy Who Loved Me) but Moonraker is better than Octopussy and A View to a Kill, again that is my opinion. 6/10 Bethany Cox
This 11th Bond movie continues with the traditional British "Carry On" style, where a whole host of double entendres make up for any discernible plot. Whether it's 007 kicking Jaws in the crotch to a metallic clang, commenting on the size of Q's balls ("Bolas, 007!"), meeting Dr. Goodhead or even Q joining in on the act with the infamous "I think he's attempting re-entry", then this one covers the market. Even a harmless pigeon is edited to double-take at one of the silly chase set-pieces.
Of course, this film set a few precedents for the series. Where the film was intended to utilise an original screenplay (For Your Eyes Only), this was put on hold due to the success of Star Wars, et al, and the works of Ian Fleming were drawn on for a final time. Chronologically, this was the earliest Fleming novel to be reworked as a film, barring Live and Let Die, coming from way back in 1955. Unfortunately, for the film series this follows You Only Live Twice (written 1964), giving the impression to a film audience that Moonraker was the derivative of the two.
Commercially, however, none of this really mattered, Moonraker taking $87.7 million gross and becoming the highest-earning Moore. Statistically, though, increased production costs (the movie was rightly Oscar-nominated for its visual effects), mean this was only just over 2.5 times what it cost to make. In comparison, the low-key Dr.No grossed over 22 times it's actual budget.
I once bought a cassette of Bond themes. Not chronologically ordered, it is telling which of the themes appear on side two. While the much-loved but execrable "Goldfinger" tried to rhyme "resist" with "mist - er" (and what is a "coldfinger" anyway?), I actually found the theme to "Diamonds Are Forever" very pleasing. "Moonraker", Shirley Bassey's third and final theme for the series, is arguably the most forgettably bland ballad in existence.
Yet for the continuation of Moore in the role I've actually developed a theory that helps make him more palatable. I believe 007 suffered a minor nervous breakdown after the death of his wife in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". This would go some way to explaining Connery's out-of-character turn in "Diamonds", and give reason why Roger acts like such an insufferable pratt. The state of his mental health has obviously taken an upturn for this film, as Roger is nowhere near as annoying as he was in the previous two movies. (Though this may be due to the fact that Moonraker gives him some real dialogue, and not just 100% puns). Even so, there are times when that eyebrow of his rises so far on his head that it appears to hover, Saint-like, above him.
On the subject of dialogue, the two henchmen roles are filled by the (almost) mute assassins Chang and Jaws. This may add menace in a less jocular film, but isn't this really just a lazy characterisation to give the dialogue writer an easy time? Michael Lonsdale does okay-ish as the chief villain, Drax, though the increased stunts mean he never gets to generate the required gravitas that prior enemies had in abundance.
Moonraker is rated as one of the worst Bond movies, and while it IS awful, from the scene irrelevancies to the sloppy science (I still can't believe they shot a scene with 007 increasing his velocity in free-fall), it is by a small margin an improvement on the last two entries. Where "Golden Gun" and "The Spy Who Loved Me" had pretence at being greater than the sum of their limited parts, Moonraker is wholly aware that it is shallow, badly-written tripe of the highest order. And on that level, it is entirely enjoyable. Broccoli serves the audience a space-shuttle hijacking, a jumbo-jet explosion and a protracted wrestling match between two men who are falling from the sky without parachutes. All this happens before the opening credits. From there, it's on to gondola chases in Venice, funicular crashes in Rio and laser-gun shootouts and lovemaking in deep space. Meanwhile, beautiful women come and go, talking (ever so discreetly) about fellatio. When Broccoli lays out a feast, he makes sure that there is at least one course for every conceivable taste...The result is a film that is irresistibly entertaining as only truly mindless spectacle can be.
When the space shuttle Moonraker is hijacked in midair while being transported to the United Kingdom, MI6 director M (Bernard Lee) assigns his best agent 007 James Bond (Roger Moore), to investigate, starting with the shuttle's creator Drax Industries, headed by billionaire Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale). Aided by NASA astronaut/scientist and CIA agent Dr Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles), they uncover a genocidal plot to destroy the Earth's population and repopulate it with selected couples currently being housed in an undetectable space-city hovering over the Earth. All of the James Bond movies are based, in some part, upon novels by British author Ian Fleming [1908-1964]. Moonraker is based on Fleming's 1955 novel of the same title. It was adapted for the screen by English screenwriter Christopher Wood. Wood, in turn, novelized the movie in James Bond and Moonraker, published the same year in which the movie was released (1979). Moonraker is the eleventh film in the EON Bond franchise and the fourth movie to feature Roger Moore as James Bond, 007. Moonraker is sung by Welsh singer Shirley Bassey, who is the only performer to date that has done more than one Bond theme. She also did the themes for Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever. Bond starts out on an airplane returning to London from Africa, where he was just finishing the last leg of another mission. He is then sent to California in order to talk with Hugo Drax, the builder of the Moonraker that was hijacked in midair. There he meets Dr Holly Goodhead for the first ime. When Bond learns that some of the parts for Drax's Moonrakers are being made at the Venni Glassworks in Italy, he flies to Venice where he encounters Holly Goodhead again. Bond figures out that Holly is a CIA operative, and they decide to work together. They learn that Drax is moving his operation to Brazil, so they fly to Rio. After Bond discovers Drax's base in the Amazon jungle, he and Holly commandeer a Moonraker and end up in outer space. Drax is playing Raindrop Prelude, opus 28, number 15 in D flat Major, composed by Frédéric Chopin. In the DVD commentary, it says that the effect was created with high-pressure air jets through a thin nozzle on a tube held off camera by Roger Moore himself. Moore suffered bruising to his cheeks afterwards.As he explains to Bond, one of the six Moonrakers that were needed for him to complete his mission developed a fault during its assembly. He needed to get back the one that was on the way to England because he was breaking down his operation on Earth and didn't have time to fix the ship that developed the fault or build another Moonraker. According to a commercial raiser of snakes, it's a reticulated python, native to Africa. It's the theme song from The Magnificent Seven (1960) (1960). During his fight with behind the glass-faced clock, Bond spots some large crates with the Drax Industries logo and Rio de Jainero stenciled on them. One of the crates is partially broken open and Bond spots one of the globes he saw in the laboratory inside it. Bond and Holly knock out the pilots for the sixth Moonraker and take their place. Flying on a preset course, they eventually rendezvous with the other Moonrakers at a radar-cloaked space station where Drax has assembled numerous pairs of perfect people whom he intends to use to restart the human race. Bond and Holly disable the radar jammer in order to make the station visible from earth. The U.S. subsequently sends a military shuttle to investigate. Meanwhile, Drax has launched the first three of 50 globes carrying the deadly nerve toxin to earth in his attempt to wipe out the imperfect human race. A laser battle in space takes place when the military shuttle arrives, and Bond manages to eject Drax into space after shooting him with a cyanide-tipped dart. The space station begins to break up, so Bond and Holly attempt to get away in Drax's personal Moonraker, but they can't get the release work. Jaws (Richard Kiel), having been convinced to turn sides when Bond points out that Drax won't allow him and Dolly (Blanche Ravalec) to live in his perfect world, agrees to help and frees the Moonraker. As the space station begins to disintegrate around Jaws and Dolly, their module also detaches from the station; they go floating into space just before the space station explodes. Bond and Holly track down the three globes and destroy them. In the final scene, M has gotten visual contact with Bond's Moonraker. Bond and Holly are seen floating in space with only a sheet to cover their naked bodies. "I think he's attempting re-entry," says Q. Bond flicks off the camera, and Holly asks him to "take [her] around the world one more time." After Bond destroys the last globe, a Houston controller states that the American shuttle rescued two survivors "a tall man and a short, blonde woman", indicating that Jaws and Dolly did indeed survive. Bond comes across Drax when M has Bond expose him as a card cheat. Drax has a red beard that covers scarring on his face. The Moonraker is a missile instead of a space shuttle. Jaws and Chang aren't in the book. Dr.Holly Goodhead is instead a Scotland Yard agent named Galatea "Gala" Brand. Drax turns out to be a Nazi named Graf Hugo von der Drache and the Moonraker is secretly aimed to hit London. Drache captures James and Gala and plans to cook them with the Moonraker's rockets. They escape and James changes the gyros then he and Gala hide in the shower turned on full blast. Drache escapes in a Russian submarine but a reprogrammed Moonraker blows him out of the water. Bond and Gala are exiled to France until the event blows over but Gala reveals to Bond that she's engaged to marry another man. Including Moonraker, Moore made seven movies in which he played James Bond: Live and Let Die (1973) (1973), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) (1974), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) (1977), Moonraker (1979), For Your Eyes Only (1981) (1981), Octopussy (1983) (1983), and A View to a Kill (1985) (1985).
