[Steve Carlton]

Totally agree with you. There was no clear plot arc, the "Quantum" was an organization akin to Spectre (but without anything being known about them), the villian was a dweeb, and the whole movie just seemed like an excuse to have chases and fight scenes. Not at all what distinguishes the best Bond films. Even the fight scenes were shot too close in and chopped up to have any perspective or overall view. Casino Royale was much, much better. Even the opening sequence and theme song sucked. And they put the classic scene with Bond being tracked by the eyeball at the end...
