10 Movie Reveals So Bad You Almost Walked Out

10. Blofeld Is Bond's Step-Brother - Spectre

It was an extremely poorly kept secret that Christoph Waltz's Spectre villain, Franz Oberhauser, was actually a new take on legendary Bond antagonist Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and despite much initial excitement about this, Blofeld's re-introduction was a damn damp squib.

Waltz certainly did a fine job bringing quietly menacing presence to the character, but the late-stage reveal that Blofeld is Bond's long lost step-brother and has been the puppet-master behind the events of the three previous films was tough to take seriously.

The familial relation was literally a plot point in the third Austin Powers movie - a revelation so ridiculous it'd only make sense in a parody of a James Bond film.

And yet, Spectre ill-advisedly forged an unconvincing family link between hero and villain, while straining to connect the dots between all the prior Craig-starring 007 movies.

Though No Time to Die made a gallant attempt to tidy up Spectre's messes, having Blofeld be Bond's childhood nemesis was a "Are they even trying anymore?" moment, and to waste such a brilliant actor on such low-effort material only made it sting that much worse.
