Casino Royale took James Bond in an entirely new direction, transforming the somewhat cheesy spy franchise into a more gritty, hardcore version of 007 played by Daniel Craig. The movie was a huge success and a new direction for Bond was officially underway. Naturally, there was a lot of pressure on a sequel to recapture that same magic. It… didn’t? Quantum of Solace definitely raises some questions. Like are we supposed to remember exactly who the minor character is at the beginning of this movie? Why did that undercover agent blow his eight-year infiltration on shooting some random guy and running away? How did M magically heal? What’s the story of this movie? Why did Bond rescue that girl only to hand her off to a random guy? Is Dominic Greene supposed to be an intimidating villain? (thetvdb.com)
