your honest opinion is pretty much a fact. For a a direct continuation of story between to movies they need to be shot in the same way, hopefully with the same director. The shakey camera and editing were very extreme and it works for some movies with a more rugged character but this is bond. Bond is more up scale and classy. Bond needs a more clean and higher quality style with beautiful compositions and long dramatic dolly and jib shots.

my guess is the extreme shaking and quick editing was used to try and hide some mistakes or bad directing of the action scenes by Marc Forster. There is quick editing and then there is this BS.
