Quantum of Next to Nothing...

Someone convinced me to go see the latest Bond film yesterday, and I can't remember being more bored in a cinema for many a year. No characterisation (OK, I wasn't expecting any....), very disappointing theme song (OK, I wasn't expecting anything memorable, but really!) and the plot is so event driven as to be totally incoherent. I defy anyone to explain to me the plot of this film, and all the characters seem to talk to each other (when they are shooting at each other) in some form of code, with no narrative flow whatsoever.

Even the spectacular stunt sequences - and a lot of shit gets blown up here - are filmed so in-yer-face, and edited to within an inch of their lives, I was bored within minutes. Visual incoherence is unforgivable in a film like this.

Is this what happens when Hollywood hacks write film scripts instead of novels?...
