Quantum of Solace

So last week I watched this movie. I know it's a little old, but I had been watching other things, catching up on TV shows. My conclusion is... I was terribly disappointed. When I watched Casino Royale I was blown away by the depth of the character of James Bond, and I couldn't wait to watch the next one. When I started watching the next one, I felt that they had gone back to the old easy formula of having great chases (I have to admit the chases were quite impressive) and some good fight scenes, women falling to Bond's feet for no apparent reason and a simplistic story with no depth at all.
The great environment they had created for Casino Royale was almost irrelevant for this movie. Everyone betrays everyone, and everyone seems to mysteriously know what others are doing. In general I was disappointed by this movie. I have never been a James Bond fan, but I had built some hopes for this release based on the previous one, only to be terribly sad about the outcome.
