Moonraker (film)/YMMV


 * Complete Monster: Drax is a cold, snobbish, understated control freak who wishes to exterminate the human race. He gives you plenty of reasons to hate him throughout; setting his dogs on Corinne is probably one of the nastier moments in the entire series.
 * Critical Dissonance: This movie is widely regarded as one of the worst Bond movies, if not the worst, but it was the highest grossing film in the franchise until Goldeneye came out.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome:
 * What, pray tell, is such a gorgeous title song doing attached to this movie?!
 * The Space Laser Battle track is also epic, though the battle accompanying it?
 * "Flight into Space" is truly magnificent.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: In the 21st century, there really are wealthy men who own their own private space companies (e.g. Richard Branson with Virgin Galactic, Elon Musk with SpaceX, Jeff Bezos with Blue Origin, Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace) with big visions. Bigelow is working towards building a private space station, and the other three are developing rockets and spacecraft with the intent of flying humans into space privately.  Elon Musk has stated that his ultimate goal is to colonize Mars.  A remake of Moonraker would have ample material for Celebrities to Not Harm...
 * Jumped the Shark: It's generally agreed that both Moonraker and Die Another Day both mark a point at which the Bond films had become over-the-top parodies of themselves, with the following installment having to be dialed back to redeem the franchise.
 * It is easier to say that Moonraker is exactly the opposite case of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Moonraker was loved by critics and movie goers alike -which explains why this was the highest grossing movie on the whole franchise by quite a while- but hated by the fandom. OHMSS was reviled by critics and movie goers (who just wanted more Sean Connery), but loved by the fandom. Let's just say time has been a lot more forgiving to OHMSS than Moonraker.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Drax redecorating a gas filled laboratory and turning it into a beautiful Venetian lounge in less than a day, then waiting for Bond, M and the Mister of Defence to show up with gas masks just so he can see the look on Bond's face, just plain reeks of this trope.
 * Nightmare Fuel: Jaws' carnival mask might qualify all by itself, even if he weren't stalking slowly down a dark alley towards his victim while wearing it.
 * The centrifuge scene, partly because it's one of the few scenes in the films where Bond looks authentically and absolutely terrified.
 * Sequelitis: It is widely considered one of the stupidest and worst Bond films.
 * So Bad It's Good
 * So Okay It's Average
 * Special Effect Failure: bluescreening for Jaws jumping between the cable cars.
 * Villain Decay: Jaws, who was an unstoppable murder-machine in the The Spy Who Loved Me, turns into comic relief in this film, falls in love and even pulls a Heel Face Turn at the end.
 * The writers were reluctant to give Jaws a love interest in this film (or at least, a love interest like Dolly), but Richard Kiel fought for it. When people said it was silly that Jaws would have such a diminutive girlfriend, he retorted that his own wife was exactly the same height.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: Now that is a space station.
