I actually don't expect this from an experienced director like Woody Allen. A good director lets the the pictures tell the story, narration is superflous in most cases. Sometimes it might make sense as part of the story, for example if the narration is done by one of the characters and as long as you're not exposed to it through the entire movie.
Woody Allen releases a movie per year, maybe it's about time to give up on that principle and make less but better movies instead?

I watched Marnie by Alfred Hitchcock today.
