The James Bond Themes - Part XI: Moonraker.

   Shirley Bassey is back in the third and final song she did for the Bond series. And...it feels rushed. Probably because it was. Shirley Bassey was not the first choice for the song for Moonraker, but because the choices had rejected the offer and Bassey agreed just a few weeks before the film's release, it has a rushed and odd way to use the Moonraker name in the song. The visuals are a little "subtle", having the "Moon" and other space related things in a film called...Moonraker. It's not horrible, but it certainly is the lesser of the Bassey themes.

Overall, I give it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars.
