Least Belieavable Movie Bad Guy?
I watched DH4 last night and did not buy Olyphant as the bad guy whatsoever. Considering how menacing his Deadwood character is, that surprised me.
Who else do you consider "miscast" at the bad guy?

As mentioned Timothy olphant is pale in comparision to previous Die hard villians.

I always thought Dennis Hopper was miscast in "Speed" - he just doesn't strike me as a criminal mastermind. Which I guess is the point, but he still seems really out of place.

Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze in "Batman and Robin." Though nothing was believable in that one.

From recent memory, Ed Harris is National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Was he even necessary?

Timothy Olyphant is easily near the top of the list for me. He ruined Die Soft 4. It could've at least been a decent flick had it not been for him.
I always hated Charles Gray's Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever. He seemed nothing like any of the previous Blofelds we'd seen(or heard).

For some reason, Sean Connery in The Avengers leaped right into my head. But that whole movie sucked...wasn't just the bad guy.
