The Single Biggest Mistake Every James Bond Film Has Made
1. Spectre: Everything To Do With Blofeld
Spectre was a crushing disappointment. It's perfectly watchable and has some strong scenes, but it's also flatly written and gets messier and messier as it goes along. Worst of all, it totally screwed up the return of Blofeld, the most iconic Bond villain of all time. It made many unforgivable mistakes here.
Firstly, it cast the incredible Christoph Waltz as Blofeld and then he was only in it for 25 minutes at most. Secondly, the reveal of Blofeld's identity was set up as a big twist even though everyone had worked out the man calling himself Franz Oberhauser was Blofeld long before the film was released.
Thirdly, a dreadful "Everything is connected" revelation was dropped; Blofeld is revealed to have been responsible for the events of the other three Craig Bond films... which makes absolutely no sense.
Finally, and worst of all, it's revealed that Blofeld and Bond were step-brothers and his hatred of Bond is driven by brotherly jealousy since he felt his father paid more attention to Bond. How the hell did that actually get approved?!
If No Time to Die is to work, they must avoid terrible writing like this.
