The introduction in Italy was well handled and executed. The desert meeting was ham fisted in terms of dialogue. He lost all menace and became some perverted villain who has a hard on for James because his father loved him more? Very melodramatic and soap opera-ish.
The scene at the Mi6 building was interesting but nothing to really act to.
I would have liked a slower burn here. Set him up in Italy like they did, have another main baddie for SP and bring him back for NTTD as the main villain. It would make James's death a bit more emotionally investing. His fascination with Bond's daughter and Swann would also be better understood since he foiled their plans previously.
I never understood Saffin's character after he takes revenge on Blofeld so removing him as the villain I think improves NTTD too.
Waltz is stymied in the role. Not at all well written. They're going for Landmark Actor a la Javier but it crashes.
Telly Savalas was my favourite Blofeld.
