"Quantum of Solace" AKA The New 007 Movie.

To me the good Bond movies aren't about big action set peices and popcorn faire, like this and the 90s Bonds were.
It's about a charming and interesting character that's all about being slick. Like Ebert said, "He's about the foreplay and the cigarette, and violence is just a hassle to him"
When he's an action hero pulling Arnold stunts in planes and racing cars like Vin Diesel, it cheapens things.
He's better when he's sipping martinis and delivering smooth dialogue, doing missions with his brains.
Then when he busts out the guns and fucks people up it matters.

Casino Royale was brilliant. This movie dealt with shit that they should leave to bad Jason Statham movies.
