    Quantum of Solace wasn't terrible by any means, it was just so hard to follow Casino Royale ... and especially with a script that wasn't up-to-snuff.

    I've read that they're going to inject more humour into Skyfall, but hopefully it'll be suitable humour that doesn't get in the way. QoS was definitely way too serious, whereas Casino Royale did have a good mix of seriousness, drama, action, romance, and a sly wit.

    I think QOS suffers the most from following the spectacular Casino Royale. If people could judge it on it's own merits, it's a decent enough Bond film. There have certainly been worse.

    But at the same time, I know it's also hard to seperate it from CR because it was considered a connected sequel...

    Think I'm gonna have to rewatch QoS. I remember liking it, but now that I think back on it, it doesn't seem like a complete film. Seems more like Casino Royale 1.5.

    Although it's just a teaser, I would have liked a few hints at the plot. Otherwise, it's a beautiful looking film!

    I'll have to check the teaser out tonight. I hope it hooks me, because I'm not too excited for this film. On paper I should be up for some Craig as Bond action, but I can't even recall if I've bothered to watch Quantum of Solace and not really bothered to find out if I did or not.

    That was my exact feeling too. After being VERY surprised by the really rather good 'Casino Royale', I was left with severe "letdownitis" with Quantum Physics ( or whatever) and it was so flippin short. It only felt like the thing got going and it was over.

    Not a Bond fan, by any stretch, but I do hope that the next one goes back to the quality of Craig's first go. He jumped to the top of the "Best Bond" queue in a single leap.

    Here's our new Q:



    Much younger of course, but i'm just excited to have the character back. Desmond Llewelyn left some mighty big shoes to fill(as John Cleese learned the hard way), so here's hoping this guy can make a character just as memorable and loved.
