Agreed, they way they jist said "indeed Mr Kid", "but of course mr wint"
Colonel Ourumov was a well laim ass, a russian military guy and he is sort of weak and a coward.

The modern day Bond era has been plagued with villain problems.
Goldeneye- the ressurection of the Bond franchise- had a great hecnhman (in this case, henchwoman) in the form in Xenia but the main villain lacked something. Oh, he was played great by Sean Bean and they had a lovely punch up at the end, but he was not a grand scale villain- more a thug out for revenge. So I remember at the time thinking "if they can make more movies like that but do villains on the scale of the old SPECTRE days we are in business!"
Since then.... bah. Yes, Carver from Tomorrow was well playted, and a very relevant threat, but let's face it, the guy just seemed to be a wimp! Not very fitting for Bond as has been said.
Then in TWINE indeed, we had the capacity for the best Bond villian in ages- he cannot feel pain! Darkman as a bad guy! Errr... or maybe not, he gets beaten up a bit like all the others and then killed after his (pretty, but frankly boring) female co-villain gets killed having stolen most of his rightful screen time.
Die Another Day? Pissing off the North Koreans aside, the villain was ok... only ok...
What we need is another truly great villain.

they should relate back to the whole "taking over the world" angle for villians nowadays. Perhaps Gene hackman would make a good villian with that potential.
TWINE had a good storyline, the submarine was a good touch cause most villians dont use the good old machines.
Discos - M had a big part on that movie,

Worst Bond Villain = Blofeld from DAF. He was a bleedin cross-dresser! And THAT was his master plan? Use a laser with all the destructive capability of what appeared to be a child's chemisty set?!

I could never really buy into the plot of Tomorrow Never Dies due to the Carver character. It seemed really lame that he was so untouchable & caused so much havoc. His over-acting was really comical too. How could such a pussy cause so much trouble for Bond (let alone the entire Chinese & British governments)? Someone could have just pulled the plug on his network...end of story.
mr wint and mr kidd were lame...but kind of funny. The first & only gay lovers as hit-men in the James Bond series (or any movie perhaps).
