Evil Deeds: Gustav Graves/ Col. Tan Sun Moon (Toby Stephens/ Will Yun Lee) is a dastardly villain in the outrageous plot of Die Another Day. Graves and Moon (who it turns out are the same person after radical plastic surgery) is mad North Korean General obsessed with rekindling the Korean war. Graves uses a diamond smuggling scheme to get rich and build a satellite weapon that reflects the power of the sun onto the Earth with enough to detonate the land mind field separating North and South Korea. After conquering Korea, Graves would attempt to conquer the whole world. Graves also gains major points for killing his father, General Moon. Graves also gives Bond a good fight at the end of the movie. He also displays strong sword fighting skills in a very personal fencing dual with Bond. Graves/Moon is intelligent, psychotic, and incredibly dangerous.
Hurting His Cause: Goldeneye introduced the satellite weapon so Graves gave us nothing new. Having two satellite weapons in four Brosnan Bond films make Bond fans wonder what the writers of Die Another Day were thinking (Aside from the many other holes and fallacies in this movie).
