Who is your favourite villian.

I have a soft spot for Hugo Drax myself.

BOND sells, NOT CRAIG
The reboot is a risky area, did Eon need to do it? NO. Did this confuse alot of people? YES.
The Bond character will always be anchored in the values of the 60s

Jedi007, you've made a mistake with the last selection considering that was Bond.

Here's mine: Red Grant, Savalas Blofeld, Scaramanga, Sanchez and 006.

I go for Pleasance's Blofeld, even after Mike Myers' brutal parody. I think Renard (Robert Carlyle) had the potential to be a great villain, too. Pity he wasn't in a better film.

I think almost all of the villains in the 60s were brilliant!

Dr No, Donald Grant, Klebb, Goldfinger, Largo, Fiona Volpe!

The different Blofelds have not been as good I think, neither Pleasence, Savalas nor Charles Gray really fit the part.

Scaramanga and Drax were also really good!

In the 80s, 90s and 00s there haven't been any really charismatic villains I think, but I like the team of villains in The Living Daylights, they're not bad.

Christopher Walken and Robert Davi are my favourite Bond villians and they could not be more different from each other one a geneticly engineered meglomaniac and the one a columbian drug lord. Chalk and Cheese :lol:

Do you think Robert Davi could be seen as the most "realistic" villian?

I think he was a relevant villian and sadly still is, his villian is sadistic but has a weakness that Bond exploits by using his fear of mistrust in his organisation against him :lol: Zorin is a typical comic book villian however the scene were he kills Mr Howe at the bank is quite chilling :D

That was back in the day when sadistic thugs in Bond films were the villains, rather than the ostensible hero.

The best villians are Blofled in Yolt and Scaramanga.
