3/10 at best

The script was amateur to say the least - seriously schitzo and 
pointless all over the place - in urgent need of a half decent script 
editor guys
The weeping angels have been done to death (as have daleks and cybermen) 
(Total lack of creativity now becoming a bit obvious  - I could suggest 
some reading... Try Cliff Simak or Silverberg... )
Most people probably wouldn't notice how bad it was because of the 
overpowering volume of the soundtrack creating a blip-vert effect
(for those that know what that is)
The film noire opening was over egged and a bit tacky - a genuine 
american with a genuine accent might have calmed it down but why it 
was even there in the first place I can't fathom.  

The direction was good - the acting great (as always it seems) 
The sets and effects as good as who has ever been -  
And the finale was a mark of the writers brilliance bursting through at 
the last moment - (and he IS that good some of the time - which is why 
this is so dissapointing)

Luckily there is xmas and next year to look forward to. 
And jenna-louise - oh my - I've been in love for so long already 
and now this..... as much as I hate net cliche's .... jenna ....sigh!
