He would have improved that film no end.What a bag of shit it was. The cast were great - no problems with anyone they had - but they were all wasted on awful, awful dialogue (where present), terrible patchy script and the fountain of wank that was the artistic direction.

I just thought it was the most reactionary pile of bilge I'd seen in quite a whileM as woman = security leaks agogo; M as man = hurrah! War hero!
Moneypenny as field agent = shoots the wrong man; Moneypenny as secretary = hurrah! Pretty dress.

Exactly.Makes me want to punch Sam Mendes in the throat. Is no-one suspended on full pay after fucking a mission up these days? I mean, for fuck's sake - when Moneypenny fucked up and shot Bond, why didn't she take a second shot and at least try to salvage the mess. We know Naomi Harris is a good actress, but they made her out to be nothing more than a piece of fluff.
One thing that got me was the resemblance to The Avengers (Assemble) - when the bad guy was in the case, I just wanted M to say "Ant. Boot."

Worse. The script consisted of one-liners and poor one-liners at that.Casino Royale had humour, but it was of a very self-deprecating sort and fitted nicely.
