How many minutes (approximately) is Silva on screen and how is his screentime comparable with previous villains of Craig's era ?
Well, he is introduced 70 minutes in. And is in the film for like 35-40 minutes. So he's seen more then both Le Chiffre and Dominic Greene.
I call him classic because Fleming would have described him just like he is in the film.
Silva was great. I am not certain yet how much I loved Skyfall as a movie, but I certainly loved its villain. Is it me or was the character inspired by Hugo Drax from the novel? His motivation pure Drax: nihilistic revenge. And he succeeds, to a degree, although the death of M does not result in the fall of MI6.
I did enjoy Bardem's performance and felt that it made the second half of SF that much more gratifying. And yes there were some Fleming traits in his behavior and make-up that made him one of the best villains since the early days of Roger Moore's Bond, though not quite up to Connery's rogue gallery.
