He looks so "average" (mole, asymmetric face)...and his facial expression seems so "clueless"...not what I'd expect for a badass villian.
(The first half of the movie kinda makes him out to be some super strong, badass rutless sith lord, stopping lasers and killing villagers)
And his character just keeps getting more disappointing when a janitor stormtropper manage to wound him in a lightsaber duel, and he lost to some untrained girl using the lightsaber for the first time.

Spoiler!
Like others have said, I think that's an intentional casting and plot decision. All too often big bad guys are portrayed through actors like Jason Stathom (who, admittedly, does have that tough guy look nailed) or through people like Javier Bardem (Skyfall) by having that charismatic, yet slightly crazy aura. It's not often the bad guy turns out to be just some guy, that has neither the physical prowess or the charismatic intelligence. He's just someone with a famous name and an inborn ability, and someone "evil" found and turned him into, presumably, a pawn. A powerful one, but still a pawn. I actually think it was a nice break from typical Hollywood, especially for a film that remained relatively formulaic.
