Quantum of Solace

Saw the new James Bond, and let me just say that this is nowhere near as good as Casino Royale. The general feeling about that movie was that Daniel Craig was a fantastic Bond and the film itself was superior to any of the Pierce Brosnan films, if not some of the older movies. Although I tend to agree with this sentiment, Quantum of Solace really fell flat for me: the story was convoluted and at times hard to follow (in the bad sort of way), the action scenes were predictable and not horribly exciting, Bond's sexual side is highly minimized (as is his dialogue and presence), and none of the other actors (save maybe the bad guy) really filled in for Daniel Craig's (or possibly rather his script's) shortcomings.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a big Bond fan, nor am I all that into these spy-type action flicks, but I DID like Casino Royale and I didn't like this one, so that's got to be saying something, right?
