What stood out to me was the author's closing remarks about how a fan can still enjoy the novel and film versions as totally separate works. I would encourage any Fleming purists out there to keep that in mind and give the Moonraker film a fair chance for what it is.
I would hardly call the Moonraker film an adaptation of Fleming's book anyway. They share a title and a villain and nothing more. It's not like the 2006 Casino Royale, which took a Fleming story and butchered it. The film Moonraker put a completely new story to an old Fleming title.
