Oh, THANK YOU, 007
Though I still plan to see the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, it may be for other reasons that pure film enjoyment, thanks to this scathingly hilarious review by Walter Chaw. Just a snippet:
    Worse, when the crew find themselves in a nighttime Venice (everything occurs at night in this film in a transparent attempt to camouflage the godawful CGI background mattes) and a character calls out, "Hurry up, we need to find the bomb," the only response is first the very reasonable, "What bomb," followed by the sad realization that they're going to have a hard time finding this bomb because they're all starring in it.

It's been a while since a review has made me snarf (yes, snarf) my drink while reading.
PS. You must name the correct movie, not just "Bond", for the header prize.
