10 Movies That Really Needed A Better Villain

10. Quantum Of Solace

What is any Bond film without a memorable villain for 007 to face off against?

Admittedly, the franchise's rogues' gallery has proven incredibly inconsistent over the decades, but there's perhaps never been a major Bond baddie more disappointingly forgettable than Quantum of Solace's Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric).

While Quantum of Solace suffered immeasurably through its strained production amid the 2007-2008 WGA strike, its villain is an absolute charisma vacuum, despite a solid attempt by Amalric to breathe some life into him.

It all comes down to the writing, of course: what Greene lacked in imposing stature he surely could've compensated with his fierce intelligence, but following up Casino Royale's Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) and preceding Skyfall's Silva (Javier Bardem) as he did, his dullard billionaire megalomaniac couldn't help but pale in comparison.

As refreshing as it was for the series to ditch the stereotypical physical deformities, Greene's scheme to control Bolivia's water supply was pretty weak sauce, and beyond his amusing death - where Bond (Daniel Craig) leaves him in the dessert with only a can of oil to drink - there's precious little to actually remember here.
