I disagree. I felt there was definitely a clear plot line and I felt the scenes connected and followed a logical order. Bond did follow his emotions and finally cut them off and chose to do his duty to his country. He overcame multiple adversities from both sides good and evil and stayed loyal to his mission. There is an awesome scene involving airplanes! Be on the look out for it! The action is awesome and practically non-stop. I felt this was truly a Bond-film and can't wait for the next one!
Oh, dear. Has Christie developed a split personality, or was Spencer or someone else accidentally logged in to her account? Inquiring minds want to know.
It's been a while since I've caught a Bond movie on the big screen. I've only watched two in theatres: License to Kill and GoldenEye. But the reviews I read on Casino Royale when it came out intrigued me; I also suspect I might like a Bond who hasn't yet shut off his emotions, as you put it, so perhaps I will have to check this one out, too.
The death in “Casino” of Bond’s lover Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), along with the possibility that she had betrayed him before dying, provides an obvious psychological explanation for his somber demeanor in “Quantum.” But while the exploration of Bond’s psychology makes him, arguably at least, a deeper, subtler character - and there is certainly impressive depth and subtlety in Mr. Craig’s wounded, whispery menace - it also makes him harder to distinguish from every other

For the record, I am not going crazy, this was my husband posting because he sorely disagreed with my opinion.
I never said there wasn't action and this wasn't a Bond movie, I just said it's a rather lame one plot wise.
I love the way the NY critic said it. Why does Bond all of a sudden have to become on of these brooding heroes? Well, that's why they pay those writers the big bucks. They can say it better. But hey, I was on the right track wasn't I?

The NYT also had an interesting review of it. This bit caught my eye:
