QUANTUM OF SOLACE continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (DANIEL CRAIG) in CASINO ROYALE.
Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (JUDI DENCH) interrogate Mr White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN) who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (OLGA KURYLENKO), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (MATHIEU AMALRIC), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organisation.
On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (JOAQUIN COSIO). Using his associates in the organisation, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.
In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop his organisation.

So after a couple of poorly delivered sexual innuendo's and a 'quick' rumble with his badly bruised weapon. Bond is hell bent on avenging the death of his one nighter.
“I'd like to thank the Royal Marines for bringing me in like that and scaring the s--- out of me,” Bond Hardman Daniel Craig.

Ridiculous! Five minutes on a reboot, and this torrid love affair that affected him so deeply? Haggis sure put a lot of haste into this script.

Bond out for revenge after CR?
Blame Fleming. He wrote it....
The film will be nothing like the short story. I blame Haggis, Purvis and Wade.

That's not what Sweeney meant when he said "Fleming wrote it". In Live and Let Die, Bond is assigned his first mission since the casino job and it's against the same organization SMERSH, the organization that blackmailed Vesper into becoming a traitor. Bond finds this mission as an opportunity to get his revenge.
Remember when it was announced that QOS will be an original story but have Fleming elements? It seems the revenge element will be used from LALD.

The point I was trying to make, was that the affection between Bond and Vesper in the novel was not evident in the film.

In your opinion.
I thought it was. In fact, it was the closest I have been to being convinced of Bond falling in love, on par with the romantic scenes in OHMSS, only better, due to Craig being a superior actor to Lazenby.

There was some evident. It was far away from the spirit of the novel - the modern setting did not help to be fair. Green and Craig had zero chemistry. Eva is easy on the eyes, but made a simply awful Vesper.
