Quantum of Solace
Let down - Wayne
The first let down is that its a sequel to Casino. bad bad decision. it shows the director literally lacked the brains to create an entirely original. also, Craig just isnt a bond man, he gets beat up far too much and hasnt got a bond look about him. the action scenes are blown far out of proportion. altogether, a disappointment
