Solid Bond outing from the Moore set. Not his finest, not his worst.
It was great to see him speak Italian even if only briefly. He was clearly a fluent speaker.
The firs thalf is good. The space bit is a little Star Wars for the sake of it. But it's impressive how quickly they were able to launch space shuttle!
For what it's worth, Shirley Bassey was the ultimate Bond theme singer... And I think Moonraker is her most enthralling vocal performance. It isn't as grandiose as Goldfinger or as bombastic as Diamonds Are Forever, but this is so immensely beautifully sung. And the disco version at the end-credits is very funny.
