Cowboy Pete is mildly shaken and not particularly stirred by “Quantum of Solace”

I’m not predisposed to like a Bond film. I’m predisposed to love a Bond film. And I loved “Casino Royale,” the reboot that was objected to by a bevy of Bond fans who dismissed Daniel Craig as “James Blond” or even “James Bland”…until they saw it. Craig remains the main selling point of the sequel, and does the best he can with what he’s handed. And Dame Dench’s M remains stellar.

Other than that, however…I had some major problems both with what was there, and even more, with what wasn’t.

MAJOR spoilers below the cut line, but it really can’t be helped.
