I love the Pre Title Sequence, and I've never thought much of the Madagascar Chase, but I think the film only really picks up when Bond gets to the Casino. You'd think that both Mathis and Vesper had a rather close friendship during the Poker Game. But even if this was the case, it just doesn't make any sense, and just because he contacted Vesper, it still doesn't make Mathis a traitor. I always put it down to Mathis contacting Vesper at the Dinner Table instead of him.

This is probably the most confusing part about the entire movie. I don't understand how Bond suddenly thinks Mathis is a traitor, and I don't understand why in Quantum of Solace he thinks he isn't? It looks like Bond has just made assumptions and is going with them. Something I've never really understood, but kept quiet about it.It wasn't intense, they were just staring at eachother. They follow eachother around for a bit then he stabs him and kills him. The whole thing with Bond and Dimitrios in the Art Gallery is just stupid.The whole thing is never mentioned again. Why does it not bother Le Chiffre that the people who have threatened him have just been killed and thrown in a car boot? As he suspects Bond anyway, you would think that he'd see him as some kind of ally.Considering the whole Miami Airport affair, you would think that the CIA would need quite a lot. Why would Felix offer Bond all of his winnings, and say that 'Does it look like we need the money?'.If you watch carefully, half of it doesn't make any sense.I'm just going to put my thoughts into bullet points because I'm rather tired and cannot be bothered to write in full paragraphs. So tonight, I sat down and watched with no distractions, and I've come to the conclusion, that Casino Royale might be quite overrated. I don't think I've ever watched Casino Royale since it's DVD release and totally, 100%, followed the story. I usually watch a film I've already seen whilst doing something else. Now, this is probably the first time in ages that I've watched Casino Royale giving it my full attention. Now, I've always been a massive fan of Casino Royale, and constantly praised it, but thinking about it carefully and the points my friend raised, I decided to rewatch it. I watched Quantum of Solace at a friends house today, and we had a bit of a Bond discussion and Casino Royale obviously popped up.
