The rest falls lightly shy of the lofty expectations set by GoldenEye. Basing the character of a megalomaniacal media baron on Rupert Murdoch is irresistible, but his dastardly scheme —to manufacture war to, um, gain exclusive broadcast rights in China — comes off as half-baked, as does the overly opportune fact that his wife used to be hot and heavy with our hero. ‘Teri Hatcher says she took the role of Bond's ex-paramour to fulfill her husband's fantasy of being married to aBond Girl. She later calledher character“artificial.” ‘Tomorrow Never Dies didn't achieve the box-office success of Goldentye. ‘Then again, it was released on the same day asa little movie called Titantic.

And since sci-firuled Hollywood in the late"70s, fans should consider themselves lucky that Bond doesn't fight space-nut nemesis Hugo Drax with droids and a light saber. Moonraker is easily the most tongue-in-cheek of the series, but itsalso pure, escapist fun, from the return of metal-mouth henchman Jaws to the big budget spectacle of azero-gravity laser battle high above Earth outside Drax’s space-station lair. Roger Moore certainly seems to be having a jolly good time, dispatching one-liners with the same relish as he does Drax’smaster-race subordinates.

Even interjected with moments of hokey humor, the sight of high- powered speedboats roaring like mad through the real Louisiana bayou ranks among Bond's top sequences, and it culminates ina world-record jump that has to be seen — repeatedly —to be believed. And to Roger Moore's credit, it takes only about 10 minutes to get completely comfortable with him filling 007% shoes. Unfortunately, the rest of his debut is about as silly as youd expect a spy-Blaxploitation movie mashup to be, complete with pimpmobils, Yoodoo rituals and a heroin-pushing villain who gets blown up like a helium balloon. To make break from Sean Connery'siconic portrayal of Bond, Roger's 007 doesn't wear ahat, smokes cigars instead of cigarettes and orders bourbon instead of a martini.
