Quantum of Solace

It probably all started with Frank Miller's "Batman - Year One" - (Now fashionable) Prequels dealing with main character being a little bit different, and "becoming" what he/she will become. Unfortunately, this concept was poorly executed and applied on James Bond universe in Quantum of Solace. This film features great cast and some good action scenes. It's missing the flirting part (except for the short scene, actually the eye contact, in the hotel lobby) where we can see how Bond girls become attracted to Mr. Bond. I suggest the script writers checkout the Thunderball: "Questions, questions, questions... Mr. Bond, you are asking all those questions..." Priceless.

For me at least, Bond movies are: adrenaline + glamour + seduction (which is very much human btw) + exotic landscapes + action (why not)
