Every James Bond Movie Ranked Worst To Best

26. Moonraker (1979)

Spectre Daniel Craig

What happens when Star Wars is such a massive success that it causes Albert Broccoli to pursue a story in which Bond goes to space to stop the end of the world?

The answer, of course, is Moonraker, a sci-fi action flick that weakly attempts to balance Roger Moore's campy take on the heroic spy with the need to quite literally take the franchise to new heights.

Despite featuring a thrilling opening scene in which Bond and Jaws do battle mid-air, the eleventh official Bond feature spends much of its runtime acting like a dozen different films at once, unable to settle on a plotline, tone or comedic style.

From the invisible space station to the hilariously bizarre ending where Jaws falls in love, Moonraker may try to do something new, but is such a spectacular misfire that watching it makes you wonder how anyone thought it was a good idea.
