Where is Q?

This is a James Bond spoiler. So.. for those who haven’t seen the new Quantum of Solace movie and are still planning on seeing it. Stop right here.
The last bond movie was such a disappointment.
Maybe I am experiencing a generational disenchantment. But it seemed to me that the present James Bond has lost the charm that the likes of Roger Moore, Tim Dalton, Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan brought into the character.
Where is the witty dialogue and the quick comebacks? Where is the charm and the savvy of the bow tie wearing double-0-7? Where are the scantily clothed women that used to “decorate” the movie with minute roles? Where are the gadgets???? Where is Q?????
I guess time has come for the rebooted Bond, where Bond simply wears khaki’s and blue shirt the entire movie; where senseless action shots dominate; where Bond uses his fist and not his wit, nor his gadgets.
Sad, James Bond is no longer its own genre. Just another action-packed movie.
