Anyone still worried that the next James Bond movie will be lame because of its befuddling title can quit their whining this instant. The first trailer for Quantum of Solace has hit the Web over at Moviefone, and it is everything we’ve come to expect from Bond, particularly the Daniel Craig incarnation of the spy. Plus, it’s even upped the ante a bit—instead of working dutifully for Her Majesty, is Bond going rogue?
The trailer explains many of the plot details we knew already—Bond, still traumatized by the death of his lady love Vesper Lynde (from Casino Royale), sets out to find the people responsible for her death. But like any superhero who looks out for his lady’s best interest rather than the world at large, Bond is so consumed by his desire for revenge that it ticks off M (Judi Dench), who goes so far as to order some unseen henchmen to “Find Bond.”
And then, of course, there are some motorcycle and boat chases, fights, sexy naked ladies and an explosion or two. But that part is all better seen rather than explained. Check out the trailer below, and get pumped for November. Wait, Dark Knight who?

Casino Royale was lame, and so is Quantum of Solace, because if you knew Ian Flemings work, you'd know that Casino Royale didn't happen the way he wrote it, and Quantum of Solace never happened.
Just a reminder: Bond was recruited from the SAS into the "00" division as was planned since the British government became his "legal guardian" after the death of his parents in a mountain climbing accident in Switzerland. His wealth was originally a result of the insurance monies obtained as a result of his parents death, carefully managed by his own ability to use gambling as a means of wealth preservation and expansion.
Prior to "Dr. No", 007 was never been in love...there had been no "Vesper", etc. It isn't until "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" that Bond falls in love.
And since we're talking about keeping the Bond Genre pure, let's talk about "M" for a moment. Although Ms. Dench has performed the role well, in reality, no woman has ever nor will be the head of MI6. Don't take my word for it; research it yourself.
The new "franchise" owners don't know or worship the Bond Genre. They worship the almighty dollar, and if the Bond viewers are willing to put up with this crap (Casino and Quantum), the so be it. Cubbie Broccoli and Ian Fleming must be turning in their graves!!!
