Truly Agreed! Bcos when I watch Casino Royale tat time...I realized there is no Q (weapons and gadgets inventer) yet.

now a days there are some movies seems like a "remake/restart" from old school movies in order to make it "new packaging" to attract youngsters/ new generation ppl.

some movies/series for example like:

Batman Begins
Kamen Rider First
Star Wars (revert back from those old school series)

I actually prefer old school starwars.

But current batman beats all. LOL

I enjoyed [Casino Royale] but I don't think I can say the same for [Quantum of Solace]. Bond seems to enjoy killing people in this sequel rather than questioning them for more information, which, probably could help us to understand more about the so-called powerful organization that has members working in every part of the world. Also, I thought the villain looks silly whenever he's on-screen.

[Casino Royale] is much better than [Quantum of Solace].

I believe not only Casino Royale is much better than Quantum Soalce, but even Dr No is better than Quantum Solace. Quantum Solace storyline is weak... Bond character is so unprofessional... and as this is supoosed to be the second movie, at least Bond should have some gadgets to help him overcome people...

and also Quantum Solace made Casino Royale seems incomplete... (though I understand trilogy concept etc).... but at least, Quantum Solace should start after the attempt on M's life at the start of the movie....

those who want to watch this movie, think twice....

That's the part of the story. He's acting on personal emotions becoz of Eva's death.
And the villian is abit weak actually. Dominic Greene is like a boss of a corporation, nth villian, just wicked mind.

The villain here is weak compared to Le Sied (sp?) Whatever and however you spell his name.

Casino Royale Villain looks super evil and cries blood!

Haha. Yeah your statement is true. Dominic Green have no bloody eye or scars. He's just an ordinary businessman who joins the Quantum I presume just like the others in Austria. Only the General shows the bad side. ( raping)

Casino Royal's villain look evil? So, for the god sake, he even didnt have epic fight against Bond.

Greene > Casino Royal Villain.

Yeah, sure that Casino Royal villain did challenge the Bond's manhood but is that really satisfying to you?

and again, the new bond series > previous bond movie IMO. You dont need gadget to become a 1337 agent.

Lol, you don't have to fight to look evil. What I mean was the acting. Casino Royal villain had a more villain look and was much better played out.
Dominic Green was pretty boring IMO. Boring character, and boring motive.

You call Bond's fight with Greene 'epic'? Le Chiffe and Greene are, in essence, evil businessmen. They aren't supposed to be in a fist fight with anyone weighing more than a 12-year old prepubescent kid!

vilâ‹…lain
   /ˈvɪlən/ [vil-uhn]
–noun
1. a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel.

I dont see "good in fist fights" anywhere. No where does it say a villain is good only if he's good in fist fights. Greene should have had his butt whipped within 5 seconds in his melee with bond. Le Chiffe was just a lot more like a slimy basterd. Greene on the other hand is no more than some middleman Bond (indirectly) kills in pursuit of higher goals.

I agree with you guys when you say Casino Royale is more entertaining than Quantum of Solace. I watched the movie just now and felt some parts were just boring. And Olga's character is forgettable, even more for Gemma's.

But I do agree Craig played a better and darker James Bond in this new movie.

By the way, the wimp of a villian is such a joke that it is not funny.

This guy..

For me, Craig is a much tougher bond, compared to his predecessors.
Previous bonds rely on gadgets too much, although fantastic but i like this brute fighting machine more.. =D

After reading all the comments about this one better, that one better... they're both 2 different movies so how does one judge which one is better?

Well.. the Quantum of Solace is said to take place hours (or an hour?) after Casino Royale. That means...

- This isn't the experienced James Bond we see in previous (older) movies. It's probably his first few missions as a double O agent.

- This isn't the sophisticated James Bond we see in previous (older) movies. In QoS, he hasn't even found his trademark drink yet though there's a scene where he drinks it.

- QoS is about REVENGE.

Anyway... did anyone get a CUT while watching? It seems when I watched it at GSC, there was a part where there seemed to be a cut. Right after James gets out of the flaming building, he sees Greene, *CUT*, he's driving, drops Greene off. Not sure if its a bad cut or simple censored or what but it like a main chunk / plot of the movie just got removed... nothing was answered about this 'sinister' organisation, nothing was answered, etc.
