the villian was great.. and I never caught he was trying to Play "God" at the end.. he wanted to start his own new race.. and he be the "leader" more or less God..
The Sets were amazing!! Just the whole feel was huge! the Look and you can tell they spent allot of money!!
is it true if you adjust the figures for Moonraker it would ahve made $500 million in 2003??
I have to say I really enjoyed this film.. and loved the FX! They did a great job..

and some more exciting news for me.. I talked to my brother and he said we saw it in the movie theater!!
I was very young.. but watching it last night I do remember a few scenes where there was crowd reaction? it was weird but it started to come back to me..
he said we saw it.. I must have been 8 years old
I remember: jaws going through the metal detector, bond shooting down the last bomb at the end & a few other little things..
that was the first time I saw it in widescreen and it triggered memories.. then I asked my brother and he saidhe thinks we went too

If you take it for what it is - a fun film, it's really close to being perfect, IMO. I find it incredibly likable, though obviously I'm wrong there since Moonraker is so poorly regarded.

not my favorite roger bond.. but I have a new respect for it!!
roger is clearly the best bond.. he has sooooo many different styles to his movies. everything anyone would want.. and they are all solid movies! all the stories flow perfectly,no rush,no bad editing,no dragging moments in 6/7 of his movies ( I personally feel AVTAK is off.. very good begining & ending..middle is sloppy a little loose)
but the place burned down WE all have to give the bond crew a break on that one!
but Roger's other 6 are amazing,perfect,exciting,action/serious/fun movies!
Thats why I go to the theater to be entertained doesn't everyone?? not to sit their and be bored by a slow moving boring average repeated story (like other bond actor's era)
Roger's for sure that the summer blockbuster feel! which George & Steven clearly copied with their hits of the mid 70s-early 80's

Not likely to happen...
I started a thread in the PB forum asking for a "fun" Bond movie and was shot down.
It seems a lot of the PB fans want their 007 movies to be long, tedious, boring, with unconvincing action set pieces and pompous (like TWINE)

I BILLION TIMES AGREE!!!!
Hey I dont mind Sean's "slow" story driven 007 Movies.. but Pierce's fake versions of those.. but done with a crappy nothing plot.. and Pierce trying to mimic Sean like some groupie.. and NOT an actor who brings something new to the role/character..is just plain boring.
Just try to watch Goldeneye..STRAIGHT Through!! zzzzzZZzzZzZzZzZzZzzZzZzZ.. wow is that boring!
Howard Stern was talking about Goldeneye when it first came out.. and he said he doesn't even consider Pierce as James Bond.. he said he was a total BORE.. and Howard said he had watch Goldeneye in 7-15 minute spirts.. because it was soooo damn boring & slow! I 100% Agree
The Kids of Cubby SUCK! They have no clue.. the directors suck now.. Pierce is a fruit/bore! ..and brings nothing to the role.. The whole crew just looks bored.. the models suck now.. well the way they shoot them look fake.
Also dont EVER put CGI in a James Bond Bond!! Halle Berry cliff driving looked sooooooooooooooo FAKE!
LTK was the last James Bond..if you ask me! We had Cubby.. John Glen ..the old professional crew.. Timothy Dalton.. and script that touched on OYMSS of Bond's growth past his wifes death! Plus Tim brought something different and new.. playing Bond from the Books!!
~ I can figure out if you LIKE Sean.. then watch a Sean Bond Film?? WHY would you want to see a guy "pretend" badly to be Sean.. NOT Bond? But "sean connery" playing James Bond???
Very odd 007 Era?:eek:
Wake me Up when they get a New Actor!! zZzZzzZzzZzZzzZzZz

the scripts..the directors..the producing without cubby.. is all off
so Pierce isn't the whole problem.. There is soooo many problems before he even shows up on the set.
This new era RUIN the 3rd movie being great
TWINE sucked!
I think the only thing I like with this era is the Main Title Sequence Graphics...
The songs suck.. be the visionals are cool.

We think a lot alike 4 Ur Eyez Only....
One of the pieces or advice that Cubby gave his heirs was "don't let them mess it up!" He probably didn't forsee that it would be his kids who would screw up the franchise.
I was getting upset with Pierce for awhile there.
Then I watched "Goldeneye" again (the last movie made while Cubby was still with us) and I remembered how (in 1995) I thought it was a great movie and Pierce made a wonderful 007. He was challenged and fresh and in great form. The script was crackling and witty with wonderfully delicious characters and set pieces. It really was a fabulous movie and if Pierce had only made that one to this day I would probably count him as my favorite Bond actor.
Since then the scripts have been dire and TWINE really did suck the big one. The only thing I liked about it was the boat chase and some of the Mi6 behind the scenes stuff at the Scottish castle. The rest of the movie was a travesty.

LOL and he looks like an aging male model too!
I liked Moonraker. It was a very campy film but it was fun. I prefer the more serious tone but I think Roger was the right Bond for the '70s. The score was great, The song was great and Drax was a great vilian.It's scenes in RIO save the film for me. FYEO is my favorite Roger film.
Wake me up when we get a new actor as well! Cheers!

I don't think Pierce is the problem with the newer movies .... Look at "Goldeneye" - it's a great James Bond movie!

Moonraker is a great song. Why haven't they done a romantic song in such a long time? They all have that same tone of Bond sass but no sap. I miss a good sappy bond song like FYEO and Moonraker. I wish they'd hire Sade and add some class again.
