Moonraker was a cracker until the space scenes. Right?

A film without any redeeming features quite apart from being a truly terrible Bond film, the series low point for me, even DAD had a good first third.

I have a soft spot for the space scenes and Barry's music is truly epic. I have no problem with it at all an while it's not my favorite Moore Bond outing MR is quite entertaining.

Moonraker has some terrible elements, such as Jaws falling in love, but it has plenty more to redeem it. Such as (leaving Roger aside. ) the centrifuge, the pheasant shoot and Corinne Dufour's demise, the sets, locations, cinematography, special effects, John Barry's score, Shirley Bassey's title song. It's these redeeming features that save it from being the series low point.
