6. Julian Glover Is Totally Wasted As The Villain

Julian Glover is a tremendous actor who was a perfect choice for a calculating, coldly intense Bond villain, and yet, his Aristotle Kristatos is weirdly uninteresting for the most part.

He never really manages to be much more than another obscenely rich baddie with a fairly uninteresting plan to, shocker, accrue more wealth. At least he doesn't have some megalomaniacal plan to wipe out humanity, but even so, having his scheme largely revolve around a MacGuffin (the ATAC) does him no favours.

Glover does well with the middling material he has, but overall Kristatos is weirdly forgettable and distinctly lacking in personality.
