  • jobo wrote: » Silva mops the floor with any villain from the Brosnan era, thats for sure Alec Trevelyan is superior IMO.
  • My controversial opinion.....Silva is an extremely overrated villain. No particularly threatening, a tad pantomime, rubbish scheme, rubbish name, stupid hair (I’m not sure what that’s about as it looks fake?), just mediocre.
