Quantum of Solace (2008)

Here's the thing, this movie was great as an action flick. Lots of intense fight sequences and explosions that are great to look at. But as a James Bond movie, this fell kind of flat.

Bond is on a quasi-revenge jag since the girl he fell in love with in Casino Royale died. Also, he is trying to find Dominic Greene, an environmentalist (TERRIFYING) who is using the Bolivian military general to get what he wants. You know, that old yarn. But, can Bond put his anger on his side and go about the mission at hand? No, but then again, he never has been able to.

Craig is a great James Bond, but this movie just needed some more story work. It had the right amount of action, but there wasn't enough back story to compliment that. I do recommend this movie though, but savor it as more of an action movie.
