Normally I am not a friend of hype-trains, but OH MY GOD Christoph Waltz as a Bond-villian?

"What took you so long?"

I think it's perfect, because noone can represent the methodical, politely smiling evil the way Mr. Waltz can. We have seen it in Inglorious Basterds before and we will see it in "Specter", unless writing tottally fu**s up his character, which I don't think they will. The Bond-movies with daniel craig are much better than the previous ones in that they are actual spy-movies, they put a lot more emphasis on the trust/distrust issues and the political manouvering, where as the movies before that where pretty much just superhero movies without the costumes.
The craig-bond-movies focus more on the characters and their interactions, they create a tense climate of perpetual wondering about who is gonna sell out whom and that is the kind of climate where a Christoph Waltz-character is the cherry on the cake.
A character that sits in an armchair, talking casually and drinking a glass of Bordeaux all the while destroying everything you hold dear.
That's the kind of villian that Specter needed and Christoph Waltz will be that villian.
