Have you never seen any other Bond movies? Were you expecting an Oscar quality film?
I'm not interested in talking to the person who thinks James Bond is Oscar worthy. Way to get baited...

just a utter failure.
sat through the whole 2 1/2 hours asking when it was going to get better. I do not know how any producer or anyone associated with making this film thought it was good.
the action seens were short and boring. the amazing "chase" scenes at the beginning of the other 2 craig bond films were stripped out for a shitty boring 2 minute motorcycle chase and a very stupid train scene ( what was the point in ripping half the train apart if he was just going to run across to the enxt car anyway?) where he is shot in the lung and keeps going like nothins wrong.
there was no love story. and anytime he got with a girl we would see him walk up to her and maybe kiss her and then it literally cut to the next scene of them in the morning waking up, or him just in a totally different area and we dont see anything else about it.
like 10x pointless scenes of him just traveling around the world. drinking his life away in some far out country. then about a 3 second scene of him in some bar in another place getting a call to go somewhere else. cut to that other place for 5 seconds then we will fly somewhere else.
and what about the whole depressed thing? he gets shot and i guess is understandably tired of the lifestyle or mad at mom for giving the shoot order, but didnt quantum of solace literally end with him coming out of his "slump" and depression and ready to work again? and within 10 minutes of skyfall he is drinking and medicating himself to death because he doesnt care about life? what the fuck
the main villain was just stupid and horribly thought out. BRB my sole purpose is revenge and i have a clear shot at mom and i dont take it. brb one guy interrupts us and i shoot him and still have time to kill mom but i dont. brb i have endless time to kill bond but i do some pointless game with him and he gets away (twice). i realize its a bond film but can we get something a tiny bit more realistic than bond in a house with a 2 shot and reload shotgun vs 20x goons with automatic weapons and grenades? seriosuly
and why exactly cant mom tell m16 or anyone on her side where her and bond are going? the breadcrumbs could be left to indicate only her and bond, but why not have backup from someone else.
terrible action scenes, no love story, horrible general story, horrible villain/purpose
movie was horrible
Holy shit. tl;dr..
If you are this bored, or upset by a movie that's sole purpose was flashy man type entertainment, I shutter to think what medications you've been prescribed.
