Maybe it wasn't the Bond movie we used to see .. it was something else and that's because the Bond franchise was going downhill ...

I would be suprise too see if everyone who dislike the movie would dislike it the same was if it was named Casino Royale 2.
I knew going into it that it was basically Casino Royale 2, but I was still expecting some more substance. I like action movies as much as the next guy, but it seemed like they filled the film with action piece after action piece just to keep the time moving. I was expecting a little more story and character development, personally.

My main problem with it was how most of the action scenes were shot. All of the action scenes in Casino Royale were filmed so that you could actually follow the action, thus giving you something to be interested in. In Quantum, it seemed like in every hand-to-hand combat scene they told two guys to start fighting and just threw a camera in between them and let it bounce around, then took the footage and decided that no one cut should be longer than three seconds. I found it hard to follow the action, which makes it far less interesting.
