For all the "Craig Not Bond!" "Bond Isn't Blond!" type criticism he got while filming it and then silencing his critics with a terrific debut performance in the best Bond film since TLD.
also the plot and the hold em card stuff was quite fun
Daniel Klienman. Easy. Great work by him for this film.
I'll even add this may be one of the best three title sequences in the series.

It is hard for me to choose between Craig and the producers on this one - so I am throwing them both in as my entries...
After DAD, the producers were left with 1 of 2 options, either go the road frequently traveled - meaning resign Pierce and go out with an ever bigger extravaganza than DAD... or, now that they acquired the rights to CR - they could let Pierce go, and ground the series back to earth, ala like what Cubby did with FYEO after MR.... but the producers rolled the dice, and really took a great risk in going one step further and rebooting a 40 year old franchise - not only was that a great risk on it's own, but to then shoulder the load of "a new Bond" on relative unknown Daniel Craig, was an even bigger gamble...
Daniel Craig was the target of every witch hunt website and negative rumor from anti-supporters leading up to and after production of Casino Royale... i still remember the shouts of heresy even after the debut of the trailer... but when the film finally opened, Craig silenced almost every doubter... and in an almost unheard of overnight turn around, most of those who were quick to condemn and dismiss Craig, were starting to sing his praises.
All good choices but Connery never made the 11/10 cut for you, Kerim? :?
Cornell too deserves to be included on his fine work as does Daniel Kleinman for his different but well done title designs. I did feel for a moment like incuding Eva Green also at the top of the pile but she missed out by a nose, but still a noteworthy performance

What people think about Mads Mikkelsen as a Henchman ?
Born in Copenhagen,Denmark
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0586568/
http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0344128/Ss/...kkelsen, Mads
A litle unknown acter who some people know from King Arthur.

In 2004 i sugest Mikkelsen for in a Bond movie, only doubt i have at the time is that he mabey look to much on Graves, but i like to see he playing a Hechman. I think it be the stif look Mikkelsen have at the time what i like about him,something we also see a bit in Graves and in Jaws. Ulrich Thomsen, Davidov in Twine and also from Denmark be a inspiration also. Later followd some discussion about a Villian with looks of Blofeld. We know the result: Mads Mikkelsen as Hechman with some Blofeld looks.

I'll go with Craig again. Then Judi Dench.
EDIT: Forgot Giancarlo- I actually care when Mathis dies, unlike other allies.

<b>QOS: Giancarlo Giannini</b>
Giannini provided Bond with his best ally since Patrick Macnee. It's a shame they killed Mathis off. He should've stayed and appeared in every Craig 007 film.
But then, I really liked Quantum of Solace. In an age of absurdly bloated epics and Bond films that were all at least twenty minutes longer than they had any right to be (i.e. Tomorrow Never Dies—Casino Royale), Forster gave us something appropriately lean and mean. Also incredibly welcome is a sense of actual flavor from the locations. Terence Young always made time for this, and while Forster is not nearly as strong a director as Young, he brought back an element that I've felt missing from Bond films ever since Lewis Gilbert got up from the director's chair. He also worked closely with David Arnold, resulting not only in Arnold's best Bond work since his debut, but in the only Bond film Arnold's scored that he didn't bludgeon to death with too much music.
Like many Bond films before it, Quantum of Solace fixes things that were broken in prior Bond films, and also breaks things that were working just fine in them. That's just the way it goes sometimes, but that's also what keeps things interesting. Sometimes I think the things that Quantum improved are glossed over because that would mean being critical of the pedestal-bound Casino Royale, but I'm probably being unfair. But then, so is writing off an entire film because of bad action editing, and I've seen quite a bit of that. ;)
Craig, Daniel Craig...he is easily the best thing about QOS.
