OK we get it

OK OK we get it bond is tougher meaner and less sophisticated yeh we know he can jump through windows run a marathon chasing some guy got it. it seems that quantum of solace is just a muddle of to many look what bond can do now action sequences. did you see that i made him get thrown through a wall or look everybody i made him fall down some stairs gritty huh.unlike casino royale where it had a good balance of action vs plot and it wasn't confusing to follow. the director was out of his element on this one and dangerously taking him to the very edge and removing almost everything that makes bond and almost turning him into john maclaine (die hard). the plot was unclear the characters made no sense and the main bad guy if you can call him that was such a puny character that my cat could have played a meaner villain and you did not care what happened to him. the starting credits were weak and unimpressive the song lackluster. it seems that all the cheese has been taken out of bond which isn't such a bad thing giving the new approach to the franchise but were left with a ploughman's lunch that seems rather bland after several tastes.
bottom line
give bond a great bad guy to beat up instead of beating up himself all the time less crash bang and more attention to detail.
