Where's the plot?

Rating: 2/10 (1 June 2007)

Visually very good but about half an hour in I had the niggling feeling that something was missing, then I realised that the film was missing any sensible plot development. It is a series of set pieces very loosely set round the path of the film. The only way I can explain it is, as if Saving Private Ryan only consisted of a series of barely connected explosions and battles as they made their way from A to B to collect Ryan. But without any explanation of why. No character development, no storytelling or even any connection to WW2. No thinking required. Content wise it was dreadful, there is no substance to this film at all. All you need do to watch it is turn up. I'm not saying that some of the sillier bits didn't make me smile, but come on at least put a semblance of storyline in there if you want my money.
