I've always liked Bond movies. I like over the top, exaggerated action but even those last Pierce Brosnan movies were too much.
I really like these last 3 with Daniel Craig (including QoS) and am looking forward to more. I also recommend Layer Cake to anyone, it's a great movie.
In defense of QoS, I'll say that the biggest weakness was a crappy villain, if we can even call him that. The plot wasn't terrible. I know of a real life place where the community is rallying against some company trying to regulate the water. It's also a conversation I've had with friends and think it can potentially happen. So it's not a terribly far-fetched idea.
I also liked the throwback to past Bond campiness by having the character of "Strawberry Fields". You also get car, foot, boat, and airplane chase scenes. It's very Bond!
