We see more vulnerable moments in him, more man than superman. And surprisingly, that makes the legend even stronger. This is the Bond that Fleming created.

I didn't like it so much, but yeah, the consensus on Quantum of Solace is just as you say. I wonder what the next bond movie will be like.

Quantum of Solace lost me for two big reasons: -The plot felt lackluster. -The new director didn't know how to shoot action scenes. The plot was, what, about the QUANTUM agency trying to raise taxes on water in Bolivia? That's just so low-rent for someone like James Bond. So they completely lost me there. The bigger problem was how quick-cut the action was. That opening car chase sequence, for instance, was abominable. It wasn't bad in terms of what was happening, but how it was filmed. So many quick cuts back and forth, back and forth, that made it hard to tell what was even going on. And most of the action sequences play out just like that. Though Quantum of Solace did, to its credit, have some pretty good sequences in it. The opera scene, for me, stands out as being awesome. But Casino is perfect for me. Great action, great new direction for Bond, Daniel Craig does a fantastic job, and... Le Chiffre. What a great villain. Crying blood? Awesome. Such a classic Bond villain. He goes down in history with some of the best Bond villains. I really love this movie. Quantum of Solace lost me for two big reasons:
