A different way to play a Bond villain

I don't think he should play his Bond villain all smooth and slick like his 2 Oscar winning performances. I think this time he should be more unstable. Like he kills someone because they cough or he is talking normally and then he just flies off the handle holding a gun to random people. I would love to see him transform from talking normally and being a normal businessman type villain to turning into a psychopath for no apparent reason and then back to the calm and collected guy... and then back into the psychopath.

"Mr. Bond, do you know how much money I spent tracking you down? Millions. I literally spent millions of dollars tracking you down. And now you come to my house, my abode, bloody and beaten? You bleed on my floor, you bleed on my men. Do you know how disappointed I am? I wanted the Bond who killed my men. I wanted the 007 operative of MI6, you know, the one who shoots guns ping pang bang boom! I WANTED A FIGHTER! AND NOW YOU COME HERE UNABLE TO FIGHT?!" Then he kicks bond in the stomach over and over as Bond lies down.

Well, for starters, with Hans Landa I always had the fear of him suddenly snapping and just loosing his mind. Whenever he was on screen there was always a sense of dread. And even though nobody saw it and he was the only good thing in it, pretty much what you described was how he was in The Green Hornet, he'd be sitting down calm and collected and suddenly take out everyone in the room and then be calm again.

That would be good in a Bond movie and I am looking forward to seeing what he does but you know if they change it too much all the fan brats will complain and blah blah blah, but seeing as how Bond has been spewing out mediocre films for awhile now, I don't have much hope, especially seeing as how, Daniel I-have-no-emotion Craig is still Bond.

That's an awesome quote there. That should be in the movie 1:1.

I agree with you OP 100%...you should be a director or script writer or something 😎
