After Casino Royale (2006) made Bond --the character and the movies-- less cartoonish and more gritty, along comes Quantum of Solace to undo things.
I was sitting there in the movie theatre taking in Quantum and it was scene after scene of mindless action and then BOOM! BOOM! EXPLOSION! EXPLOSION! and then *nodded off and awakened startlingly* a scene of Bond (Daniel Craig) pointing a gun at a bewildered couple standing in a doorway and then *nodded off and awakened startlingly* a scene of Bond conversing with M (does she ever smile?) and then *nodded off but immediately awakened startlingly as…* the credits rolled.
