But they probably figured it wasn't necessary given events in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere over the last few years. Perhaps the filmmakers could have had a terrorist scene to show the carnage. I suppose that on the face of it, helping to finance terror isn't as 'sexy' as, say, intercepting NASA rockets - no hollowed out volcanoes or banks of flashing lights and dials are necessary - but in this day and age LeChiffre's kind of activities are very real and troubling. I don't think there was any deliberate toning down of the LeChiffre character. did it for you? Perhaps I am missing something? However, I am seeing now that LeChiffre does have a following.so what specific traits, scenes, etc.

My thoughts were that if this was intentionally done to give Craig some focus as the new Bond -or Flemings Bond the focus for the first novel it truly was genius. LeChiffre for my money was one of the top Bond villains, right up there with Goldfinger and Rosa Klebb, the 'gold standard,' if you will. But let's not discount the danger of a guy like him just because he isn't some mad billionaire-scientist out to take over the world. I don't think every Bond villain needs to be like LeChiffre. They just happen to also be mass-murderers. Maybe they take the bus to work in the morning and work very, very hard, and eat their lunch, which they bring from home, at their desk. They kiss their wives, play with their children, laugh with their friends, go to sporting events they cry at sad movies,and maybe even go to church where they are among the most pious. that some very scary people can look very much like us.

I forgot who it was, but a historian once said Hitler and his henchmen were examples of 'the banality of evil,' i.e. And Mads did a wonderful job playing him as a creepy little weasel without turning him into a caricature or chewing up the scenery like the typical Bond megalomaniac. I thought Mads' LeChiffre was a terrific villain because of his ordinariness, not in spite of it. What makes LeChiffre interesting is that he is intelligent and ruthless, yet he has his own personal weaknesses. They have become so tiresome and boring to me. I get tired of people expecting Bond villains to be the usual over-the-top meglomaniacs out to rule the world.
