Horrendous - waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2006)

I have to admit my confidence, Mr.Spielberg was had faded if not dissappeared after the last Jurassic debacle, but with re-newed faith I gave this film every chance to change a faltering opinion of someone hailed as one of the greatest directors, to my cost I must emphasise. They say a director is alone in his interpretation of his subject matter, in this case very much so as I would be surprised if anyone with a modicum of sense enjoys what is basically self indulgent and very pointless filming with and repeat formula that in this case had me hoping that even the dinosaurs would appear to brighten the day, no such luck. I fought sleep throughout, concede to Mr.Craig who I am sure will go forth to be the very best Bond since Connery or Lazenby, that he must have been tempted by the price tag and of course wowed by the Spielberg label and pedigree in the sad and very insular world which encompasses the Hollywood clique of has beens and played outs who now hold dominion over the majority of your visual leisure. Spielbergs only good move here was casting Craig, doubtless on the basis of his forthcoming fame as 007 in the hope that it would sell what is other wise a waste of your cinema admission. Stay at home for this one, it makes Eastenders dangerous and new. Gibberish, every word of it.
