Review Detail

Moonraker has always been one of my favourite James Bond films and one of the most underrated, in my opinion. This is the definitive cut of the film. Distractions and unnecessary elements are gone. By removing silly moments and inappropriate comedy, the movie is more focused and feels more dramatic, believable, and perilous in the action scenes. Jaws comes across as far more threatening as he did in the previous film. Overall editing is far more smooth and professional than the theatrical cut. Pacing is improved, moves swiftly along, never lags. The additional musical cues and removal of product placement are both always welcome. Tone is now perfect for a Roger Moore Bond. Elevates the film from a 7.5 to a 9/10. Brilliant edit, excellent work. Keep these Bond edits coming.
