The problem here is that Scaramanga is the mirror image of the wrong Bond...“You get as much pleasure out of killing as I do, so why don’t you admit it?” Scaramanga goads Bond at one point — the moment that it becomes clear to the audience that this Bond villain has arrived at least two movies too late (or five movies too early).

As "Renard The Anarachist", he's the kind of crook they just never had in previous Bond movies—a bad ass. Keep your Dr. Evil clones, keep your evil Rupert Murdoch clones, this guy just wants to be a nasty prick. He's Scottish, nasty is what they do. And Bobby Carlyle can do nasty, just ask anyone who saw Trainspotting or Ravenous. But Carlyle, admittedly, is all wrong for this movie. He's a cockroach in a humongous bowl of fruit.

It’s the Colin Baker syndrome; the television is almost too small to contain an actor of that magnitude. Shove him on stage or in a big budget movie of the same story and Whitsun-Jones would prosper... When he is pouring over his vision of a new Solos, it should have been an insanely sized globe that he could enthuse over like Nero before the burning of Rome, but instead he can be seen staring down at the equivalent of a stress ball on his desk. When he grabs a gun in episode five and starts firing like a madman, it should have been a sub-automatic machine gun causing endless destruction, not a dozy BBC prop that goes 'phut'.

Enter... A Legitimately Horrible Person!

Kirby game final boss: the final demon bosses from the last six games all merge into a super Satan zombie and make a wish to the time God to send the sun hurtling through space and Kirby has to ride a fucking cyber draconian space Lord into the sun to destroy it
Kirby game ending: Kirby got his cake! And king dedede gets a time out for being naughty :3

[The movie's] good qualities are undermined, unfortunately, by the Switchblade Sam character, who is dirty, threatening and scary. Of course, he's no match for Dennis (in scenes inspired by O. Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief"), but that doesn't explain why producer-writer John Hughes put him into the movie in the first place. Wasn't there a way to contrive 90 minutes of adventures for Dennis without leaning so heavily on a character who seems menacing to children? The movie is classified PG, "for comedic mischief." Maybe it should have been PG-13, in view of the way younger viewers may interpret a dangerous guy hanging around the neighborhood and picking on kids. There's a lot to like in "Dennis the Menace." But Switchblade Sam prevents me from recommending it.

Although most human villains in the series to date have been shown in a comedic light, Meltdown seems the odd man out with some rather disturbing, more adult-oriented themes. He attempts murder (of rival Isaac Sumdac); he experiments to create mutants, which constitutes crimes against Humanity; he tortures the Dinobots into submission by burning them with his acidic touch; and he kidnaps a prepubescent girl for purposes of experimentation—but damn can he dance.
