Quantum of Solace - this wasn't James Bond
Okay, now i'm going to probably make some JB fans upset but please continue reading before you jump down my throat.
before i go further, i own every jb movie and anything jb i would buy
so when i say really loud, WHERE THE F*(*!!#x! WERE THE GADGETS AND TECHNOLOGY IN THIS B you have to sit back and think, ummm, there were none.
If I wanted to go see a believable action movie, I'd have watched a Crank movie - (as in the words of Borat) - NOT.
This was an action movie.
That's not why we went to see James Bond only.
True, it was action, but it was also the new gadgets and Q
How could they forget about Q
No cool cars
Did you see that small crap she was driving.
I'd been happy seeing him roll around in a Ford FLEX, that turned invisible or could turn into a submarine.
BLEEP?!!
The movie line was tight. very tight.
And i like the continuous feel from the other movie.
I even like this jb and he's tied for second place with Pierce (of course sean is number one)
But I was disappointed that what was familiar about jb was missing.
what's your thoughts?

I understand and appreciate your pov. Here is my review that I copied for you for a different take:
Since I'm not a James Bond purist, I wasn't much bothered by the lack of gadgets, witty quips and one liners, or the suave debonaire nuanced 007 of the past. After all nothing lasts forever and the only constant is change, but I'm sure the series will eventually come full circle and we will see a return to a more subtle Bond. If it doesn't you won't hear me crying because I am a huge action fan. This movie delivered what I like. Lots of violence, fighting, car chases and crashes, shootouts and lots of explosions. A hot female lead who gives all previous bond girls a run for their money. This is actually my favorite James Bond movie to date. I liked Casino Royale a lot but it was too long and had a slow part when Bond was convalescing and falling in love. Yuck! This film on the other hand leaves little chance for sentiment and melodrama but who cares? The action kicks butt! Highly recommended. (11/17/08)
