Dude no one is debating whether QoS was a good movie or not, because it was a good movie. However, it was not a good Bond film because although it attempts to move away from the traditional Bond, it didn't deliver what I consider to be a satisfying second installment for Craig's lineup of Bond flicks.

I understand your point of pacing and sure, that works for some movies, but QoS is to slow! Here's the plot if you don't believe me, (SPOILER)Bond learns of a secret organization, he travels to Haiti in pursuit of a turned agent, meets up with a chick, saves her, flees somewhere meets some guy and heads to South America and sleeps with one chick, meets chick #1 and confusing things happen, guy he meets dies. Ends up in the desert, explosions, omg its the climax already!?! Movie's primary villains are all killed. What's next, a bid to destroy all the soda's in Europe and sell it to them at an outrageous price?

Dude that plot, was weak, even for a soft/filler/middle/slow movie. This is the Bond series we're talking about. The same people that saw the Bourne series are watching this and they are taking note that its not as good.
