Like Star Trek (2009) vs Star Trek Nemesis (2002) I could never see why people loved Casino Royale (2006) and loathed Quantum Of Solace (2008).
I'm even more confused by the praise thrown at this film as Quantum Of Solace is a far more consistently entertaining and satisfying film.
Casino Royale went out of its way to reinvent Bond and made it more realistic and modern, then Quantum of Solace returned to the over the top stunt after over the top stunt of the Brosnan era films we'd just gotten away from. I think a lot of people were ready for this new era of Bond we were expecting based on Casino Royale, and disappointed when all of that was undone with Solace.
