What I fail to understand is the hiring of Marc Forster to helm the 22nd installment, "Quantum of Solace."

...Yeah, yeah, I know: he's good with actors. Well, good with actors with a terrible eye for action in a Bond film is a cocktail to be shaken, stirred, and immediately spit out.

...

"Solace" takes everything that was so painstakingly built by "Royale" and burns it to the ground, and the blame falls solely on Forster, who really has no business making a film of this size. "Solace" is a challenge he can't crack, and his desperation to survive the picture reverberates through every deadly scene and half-baked bit of conflict. The whole film eludes Forster's skill level, a sensation that pinches the hardest during the action sequences.

My point exactly. Why was the director replaced to begin with? Martin Campbell, unarguabally did a fantastic job with 'Casino Royale', then why was he fired. Considering that 'Quantum Of Solace' is pretty much a continuation of 'Casino Royale, would in my opinion, be even more reason for 'Martin Campbell' to have directed this one too. Unless, 'Martin Campbell' himself, for some reason, refused to do 'Quantum Of Solace', they had no business replacing him.
