    Elliot! Pryce has a great time with his lines. ;-)

    Also Elliot DOESN'T wear a video-game suit of armour ;)

    Elliot Carver, because nothing is more evil than the press.

    You're only human 0Brady.

    Carver. I don't like either though. It's kind of funny, how Brosnan had 3 of my favourite villians (Trevelayn, Elektra and Renard), as well as two of my least faves (Carver and Graves).

    Moon was actually pretty cool at the start, when he's beating up the punching bag with the guy inside it, or when he's being a maniac with a flame thrower, and the relationship with his dad could've been intresting.

    They threw this all out of the window though when they transformed him into Graves, a smug, annoying arsehole who runs around trying to be Iron Man in the films finale.

    Carver was annoying and didn't seem that dangerous at all, but he had some great lines, and you do sort of get the feeling that he's a maniac.

    I have to go with Carver here. Graves has his moments, but his aims are political in nature. Whereas Carver has his wife killed without remorse and starting comparing himself to God. More effective, more entertaining.

    Oh my goodness, my friend and I always get the biggest laugh out of the video game suit. That's easily the biggest joke out of Die Another Day, which is disappointing because I rather do enjoy the movie.

    I think EVERYONE laughs at the moment when Toby Stephens turns round wearing the suit.

    Agreed, and it's those preposterous glasses that do the trick. Without the glasses, the suit is a tad bit more bearable, just a bit. Still though, the taser was cheap. I'd rather him slug it out in a fair men's match with Brosnan instead of opting for the cheater's way out. We got gyped out of an otherwise really nice fight by ending it early with yet more sci-fi junk.

    I went with Graves because Carver wouldn't beat Bond in a swordfight. Wouldn't beat anybody come to think of it. A very banal and uninteresting nemesis for 007 that year

    That's not true. Carver could probably, sorry to say, beat the Phillies this year.

    I prefer Carver, both are 2 of my least favourites with quite poorly written charachters but i think jonathon pryce is enjoying himself more and imo does slightly more with the material and probably makes the right decsison to ham it up.

    Did we give up on this thread? The last post was on July 8, it's now the 14th. How about a new thread comparing Bond Girls?

    This thread is only getting going. I'm sure @00Beast will continue it soon. All it needed was a quick bump.

    Yeah, sorry about this guys, I don't know what happened to it! Anyway, we are back on track here and Elliot Carver has used his big ol' Sea Drill to shred Gustav Graves and his video game suit to bits!

    Next match-up: Gobinda vs. Dario

    Dario! More ruthless and sadistic.

    My vote goes to Dario because he was better in traffic than Gobinda was.

    Gobinda. Gotta be loyal to my henchman who even went on top of a flying plane at my request!

    Dario. That insane glare in his eyes is great! Awesome performance by the youthful Benicio.

    Dario, radiated more menace - and no Wilhelm Scream either

    Does his best work at the distribution center, or seems most effective

    Dario, there's just something so damn sinister about him.

    I went for Gobinda. I just like India and Indians.

    Dario was excellent. I like the undertone of sexual frission he had with Sanchez.

    Gobinda for me. A very commanding presence. As for Dario, or rather Benicio, he needed a few more years of maturing before turning into the great actor he is now. See The Usual Suspects for further reference.

    Nearly tie but I'll go for psycho kid Dario.

    Dario. My 2nd favourite henchman (I do like Gobinda though).

    Gobinda for me. A real presence about him and despite the fact Dario can 'rip your heart out' I go with Kamal's man.

    Dario is the better one but I like both these villains. Strong additions to the Bond canon.

    What a no-brainer. Dario with ease. He should have gotten nominated for that performance, let alone being a newcomer. Gobinda and Khan are boring compared to both Dario and Orlov.
