I should explain why Quantum of Solace sucked -
it felt like an epilogue to Casino Royale, it was having trouble standing on its own. The action scenes were shaky as hell and difficult to follow. There was no sense of urgency.

The villain was stealing water from poor oppressed Bolivians. They were already poor and oppressed and this guy was stealing water from them - okay no offense to the poor and oppressed but geeze, in the scale of things WTF? Bond villains are supposed to be bigger than life. I only kind of felt like Bond was in danger and the fate of the world wasn't even close to being at stake. Oh yeah - the whole film is about Bond getting vengeance for Vesper dying in the last film, but half of the time you're forgetting that point because the movie is such a muddled mess.

So yeah - this film was awful and even more disappointing after the amazing Casino Royale.
