Best Film Villain of the 2000s?

[Jack Bauer]

This is more of an option poll, but seeing how its very close to the end of 2009 and 2010, which is the new start of a new decade, it leaves the question: Who were the best film villains this decade?

For me its these people.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2ikcy2d.jpg

5. Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias (Watchmen)

He's much like Lex Luthor, but unlike he actually got away with his plans and put the fault on his world's Superman.

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x88/horrorrpg/Saw/Saw%20V/Mark%20Hoffman/s5hoffmancoffinauto.jpg

4. Mark Hoffman (SAW series)

In the third film, he was just a background character. However enter SAW IV, V, and VI, where this character become one truly evil bastard.

In IV, he's presumably the one behind Rigg's game, which lead the horrific death of Eric Matthews and confirmation that he was apart of John's plans, and Jeff's death while tormenting the FBI agents that have been sent to capture Jigsaw.

In V, his real form of evil begins to show after tricking Strahm which lead to his gruesome death and shown that he killed without remorse during the trap that was made to kill his sister's killer.

In VI, he takes the cake for villainy. First, he blackmails Amanda into killing Lynn, so John would never know that it was her that lead the chain of events that killed his unborn child and made him into becoming Jigsaw. Second, he outright brutally kills agents Erickson and Perez, the latter whom was thought to be dead after being mortally wounded during a bomb trap.

2. The Joker (The Dark Knight)

http://i48.tinypic.com/118225l.jpg

2. Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men)

Tied for the two spot.

If The Joker is the ultimate form for anarchistic mayhem, then Anton is the ultimate form of walking evil. Never have a hitman look so terrifying, killing his victims without mercy and sometimes without cause, or giving their a moral choice with the flip of a coin.

And with the Joker, need I say more?

http://i47.tinypic.com/24n4spi.jpg

1. Agent Smith (The Matrix films)

Sure, the Smith character debuted in 1999 but it wasn't until the Matrix sequels that he started to shine as a AI supervillain with megalomaniac intentions. In those ones, he'd best Neo, who's like Superman, more then once and killed him twice, only to get attacked with a surprise.

Those are my choices, what's yours for villains of the decade?

[Doomed_hero]

5.Doc Ock
4. The Joker
3.Anton Chigurh
2. Emperor Palpatine
1. Bill The Butcher

[spidermilk]

Joker takes it hands down,

Before the perfomnce though Agent would have taken it by defult.

2.Voldemorthttp://www.fabbricantidiuniversi.it/harrypotter/immagini/voldemort1.jpg
1.Sauronhttp://www.mattresspolice.com/images/sauron.jpg

[Doc Ock]

Agent Smith is indeed my favorite film villain of all time, and I think one of the best.

5. The White Witch (Narnia Films)
4. Norman Osborn/Green Golbin (Spider-Man trilogy)
3. Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest/At Worlds' End)
2. Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter Films)
1. Agent Smith (The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions)

[The Joker]

My favourites:

1. The Joker

[Parker Wayne]

In no Order:

Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men)
Joker (The Dark Knight)
Daniel Plainview (There will be blood)
Dock Ock (Spiderman 2)
Sauron (Lord of the Rings)

[gwynplaine]

The one and only :hoboj:.

[VenomVsSpidey]

Voldemort
Joker
patrick bateman
count Olaf

and for teh lulz,

tom rothman.

[gwynplaine]

The Joker. All the others pale in comparison (pun intended.)

And Chigurgh was cool too. (best thing about the movie)

[nogap87]

Hans Landa aka "The Jew Hunter" from Inglourious Basterds gets my vote. Joker was lucky, Landa was freakin' diabolical.

[gwynplaine]

Yeah, Landa was great too.

The Joker.
Landa
Chigurgh

[JackIvyGB]

I don't think Doc Ock should count. He turned good at the end. That's the one thing I hate about the Spidey films: no one bad stays bad. Except for Norman. It's like they aim to portray Spidey as the ultimate super counselor rather than a superhero.

Joker FTW. I have to admit though, I haven't seen no country for old men, so I can only speak for what I've actually watched.

Ozymandias is a great pick as well.

Also: Elijah Price/Mr. Glass from "Unbreakable". The dude slaughtered hundreds if not thousands of people on the ridiculous and vague notion that one person might survive and be a real life superhero. Nevermind that he ended up being right, he was still a homicidal loon.

[VenomVsSpidey]

The Joker. All the others pale in comparison (pun intended.)



yeah, mr.j was epic, but his scale of terror lasted only a couple months/weeks. you-know-who's? three long years.

four movies (well, five, depending on your POV).
at least 2 dozen kills.
returns from a 14 year hiatus.
blew up the ministry of magic.
destroyed a bridge with some peeps on it.
kills his own henchman, like *that*
starts to affect muggles, who dont even know about him


fighting the boy wizard? priceless.
and more badass stuff. dont get me wrong, joker = love, but the dark lord would pwn joker, like that

[The Joker]

I don't think Doc Ock should count. He turned good at the end.

So did Darth Vader, but he's still very much a villain. So is Doc Ock.

[[A]]

Doc Ock is no whiny! Like Vader.. that pussy(cat)

[Captain America]

1. Anton Chigurh
2. Doc Ock
3. Joker
4. Gollum


my list for now ^_^

[Aurume]

1. Sauron (He or it is pure evil. Is there "better" thing villain to have than that?:whatever:).
2. Agent Smith (Matrix)
3. Adrian (SG Ark of Truth).
4. Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter).
5. The White Witch (Narnia).

[gwynplaine]

:hoboj:. (Sorry, but close thread.)

[YoungE808]

Anton Chigurh, I mean seriously have you all seen No Country For Old Men?

Landa from Inglorious Basterds deserves are spot here as well. For longevity I'd say Lord Voldemort (oh no I said his name!) because it's been like a decade and he's STILL a living breating villain. As much as I hate people shouting out the Joker like he's some type of divine god I must put him here as well.

[returntovoid]

GOLEM FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS:

I seriously wanted this despicable character to die and he got the death that he deserved, I mean he was pure evil.

Yeah, that's how strong his performance was.
Also I loved Chigurgh, one of the greatest villain for sure, but I thought NCFOM was boring (but that comment belongs in the unpopular film opinion thread, I think:woot:)

I thought it was a little bit boring as well the first time but 5 or so times later it isn't boring at all. I love hearing the accent Tommy Lee Jones has, especially the part when he and his partner go to the shoot out scene and they talk to each other about what they think happened.

[gwynplaine]

Maybe I should watch it 4 more times. But anyway Chigurgh was awesome.

[Happy Jack]

Do you even have to ask? It's the Joker.

[hippie_hunter]

The Joker no doubt about it. I hated Heath Ledger's previous movies but he nailed it in that movie.

[gwynplaine]

Golem was great . He is kind of overshadowed alot in these lists.

[Sawyer]

Hannah Montana. :o

Best is debatable. But she certainly was the most villainous.

[gwynplaine]

^ Agreed.:woot:
Also The Joker was great.

[VenomVsSpidey]

^ Agreed.:woot:
Also The Joker was great.

yeah...we got that..in the last eight posts:o

but seriously, tom rothman = Best film villian ever. who could care less about quality than quantity with that man? who else could send fanboys into such an outrage than him?

[gwynplaine]

That's how many times I saw the movie:woot::cwink:.

Also just in case I didn't make myself clear the first eight times, The Joker was the Best Film Villain of the 2000s. By Far

[Schlosser85]

Heath Ledger as The Joker

Agent Smith and Hans Landa are great villains too

[Parker Wayne]

I'm surprised no one mention Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) from Training Day yet. The performance got Washington an Oscar! :woot:

[[A]]

^ bleh.

[gwynplaine]

OK, so.

The Joker.

Hans Landa.

Anton Chigurgh.

And let's not forget, Don Logan, of course.

[Homer J. Fong]

1. Heath as The Joker
2. Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort
3. Ian McKellen as Magneto
4. The villains of The Lord of the Rings (I don’t really want LotR to take up 3 spots, and I can’t choose between Sauron, Saruman, and Gollum, so I’m cheating it.)
5. Bill Nighy as Davy Jones
6. Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine
7. Sergi Lopez as Capt. Vidal (Pan's Labyrinth)
8. Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge (Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix)
9. Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh
10. Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd

[Sloth7d]

Top 3

The Joker
Bill the butcher
Sweeny Todd

In no particular order I can arrange.

[gwynplaine]

:hoboj:

Again. That's how great he was. Far ahead of the competition.

[Mister H.]

Bill, Saruman, and the Joker.

[Parker Wayne]

;17865324']^ bleh.

I don't think he's the best, but I still believe Denzel Washington as Alonzo Harris should be mentioned.


And looking back at the Dark Knight, I do agree that Joker is number one. I watch it last night, and Joker's dialogue is always clever and never dull, down to the way he deceives everyone. This Joker was even humoruous at times like when set a firetruck on fire, or wearing the nurses costume with a Harvey Dent button on it. Joker nearly succeeded in destroying Gotham City physically, mentally, and emotionally. How many of these film villains can say that near single-handedly brought a city to its knees in every aspect?

Heath's performance was amazing, and not overrated like some of these TDK backlashers foolishly believe.

Now that I think about it, add Syndrome (the Incredibles) and Agent Smith (The Matrix) to make that a top 5.

No doubt.

[gwynplaine]

^ Yeah, he was awesome. Second only to the Joker.

[Parker Wayne]

So gwynplaine, who do you think was the best villain this decade? :hehe:


I can't believe I haven't Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge from Order of the Phoenix. Man I hated her so much.

[gwynplaine]

Lol.:woot:

I don't know, Chigurgh or Landa maybe ?:cwink:

or maybe, wait for it...Surprise!:hoboj:

[gwynplaine]

I think Precious' mother, played by Mo'Nique, should also get a mention in this thread.
She was a despicable, yet tragically human villain, and I hope that Mo'Nique gets the best supporting actress Oscar this year for her powerful performance.

[Kingfish]

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee68/kingfish_15/thumbsdown.jpg

He should have been mentioned long before Page 3.

[Hobgoblin]

Hans Landa aka "The Jew Hunter" from Inglourious Basterds gets my vote. Joker was lucky, Landa was freakin' diabolical.

I realized half way through the farmhouse scene that the audience was holding its breath. I dont know if I've ever been in a theater where that happened.

[gwynplaine]

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee68/kingfish_15/thumbsdown.jpg

Good one.

[gwynplaine]

As this year and decade ends, I have a little thought for the best villain of the 2000's.
Yes, you guessed it: Voldemort.

Just kidding. It's the Joker, of course :woot:. Happy New Year everyone!:hoboj:

[Boom]

2009 - Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), Inglourious Basterds
2008 - The Joker (Heath Ledger), The Dark Knight
2007 - Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), No Country for Old Men

Christoph Waltz had better get the BSA Oscar to go along with his two companions here, or there will be hell to pay.

[Doctor Jones]

Agreed. Those three represent different versions of evil in their own way, all terrifying.

[DarKush]

In no particular order:

Commodus
Joker
Green Goblin
Magneto
Ras Al Ghul
Otis (Devil's Rejects)
Esther (Orphan)
Nomak (Blade 2)
Dame Vaako (The Chronicles of Riddick)
Palpatine
Jigsaw (Tobin Bell)
Operative (Serenity)

[Ace of Knaves]

Hans Landa-Inglorious Basterds

Joker-The Dark Knight

Commodus-Gladiator

Anton Chigurgh-No Country for Old Men

Captain Vidal-Pan's Labyrinth

Brick Top-Snatch

Oh and do you guys reckon Gollum and Daniel Plainview count as a villains?

[chamber-music]

Gollum was more a mental unstable junkie than an out and out villain I would of thought.

[gwynplaine]

Edit.

[CWP]

Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean)
Cutler Beckett (Pirates of the Caribbean)
General Grievous (Star Wars)
The Joker (The Dark Knight)

I assume he counts too. I count him as a villain.

[Ace of Knaves]

Cool. I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned more often then.

[Parker Wayne]

I'm surprised this guy wasn't mentioned

http://24hourstomidnight.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/uwe1.jpg

Before this decade, I didn't think it was possible to lower the standard of video game adaptations any lower, but Uwe Boll managed to do it, and make money off of it anyway despite the low box office returns.

[Drizzle]

10. Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike - Death Proof (2007)
9. Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine - Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)
8. Andy Serkis as Gollum - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
7. Bill Nighy as Davy Jones - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

[gwynplaine]

One last time, for old times sake:woot:.
(And because nobody comes even close:o.)

:hoboj:

[Schlosser85]

Heath Ledger as The Joker (The Dark Knight)

Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa (Inglourious Basterds)

Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus (Gladiator)

Andy Serkis as Gollum (The Lord of the Rings)

Stephen Lang as Colonel Miles Quaritch (Avatar)

[Parker Wayne]

Heath Ledger as The Joker (The Dark Knight)

Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa (Inglourious Basterds)

Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus (Gladiator)

Andy Serkis as Gollum (The Lord of the Rings)

Stephen Lang as Colonel Miles Quaritch (Avatar)

He was a pretty typical villain IMO. Plus, I couldn't really take him seriously at times because he was the guy ran into a wall (with the same uniform on) in "The Men Who Stare at Goats".

[childeroland]

Ledger's The Joker
Rita/Camilla from Mulholland Dr (she sort of becomes the villain, one could argue)
Anton Chigurh
Samara Morgan from The Ring
Yubaba from Spirited Away
The Locus Solus corporation from Ghost in the Shell: Innocence

[gwynplaine]

I think that maybe Michael Pitt and the Austrian actor from both Hanneke's Funny Games films (original and remake) deserve a mention in this thread.

[Matt Mortem]

Otis B. Driftwood from The Devils Rejects deserves a mention as does R Lee Ermey's work as the Sheriff in the two Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes. He made my ****ing skin crawl

[Sentinel X]

GOLEM FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS:

I seriously wanted this despicable character to die and he got the death that he deserved, I mean he was pure evil. :huh: .... no he wasn't. Did you miss the part in two towers when he tried to get rid of his evil personality. All that was because of the ring...he is still an interesting villain however.

1. The Joker
2. Anton Chigur (whatever his name is)
3. Gollum
4. Hans Landa
5. Jigsaw - God I HATE the saw movie but nonetheless he is an interesting character

[Matt Mortem]

Jigsaw is an interesting character, but as the movies progressed he lost that sense of mystery surrounding him.

[Sentinel X]

I've only seen the first Saw, I was always pissed that they took a really interesting character and concept and did not even use it to its full potential...instead they decided to make a gorefest...because we all know those are sooo rare these days :whatever:

[Matt Mortem]

I agree with you. There could have been some terrific stories to tell, but instead they focus on the gory traps. The first saw was wonderful, but after that the series went to ****.
I gotta good villain to add to the list: Bill Nighy as both Viktor in Underworld and Davy Jones in PoC

[Heisenberg]

1) Joker (The Dark Knight)
2) Bill The Butcher (Gangs Of New York)
3) Col. Hans Landa (Inglourious Basterds)
4) Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men)
5) Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) / Alonzo Harris (Training Day)

[The Joker]

Edit

[Harry_Lime02]

Oh, the usuals: Joker, Landa, Chigurgh.


Daniel Plainview, whilst not really a villain, is certainly evil and scary, so deserves a mention.

[The Demon's Head]

Landa and The Joker. :cool:

[Mr. Wooden Alligator]

The Na'vi
Joker
Voldemort
The Penguin from Batman Returns
Ra's Al Ghul

[The Joker]

The Penguin from Batman Returns

That was in the 90's.

Viktor is a heartless, evil bastard everytime he is on screen once you find out what he really is like, you just hate his freaking guts. He then acts like he did nothing wrong, especially about Sonja

[Doomed_hero]

as a Star Wars fans and as far as a act of a true villian, I think Palpatine has to take this one. Say what you will about the prequels(and belive me i have heard just about everything you can) Who else can claim to learn all from a master then kill him. Trick a entire galaxy into think ing your a innocent old man behind the scene, while removing and killing rivals in the process and gain ultimate power. Then engulf the galaxy in a war that kills millions and end it all with killing a entire group that reprsents good in the galaxy which paves the way for a empire that rules by fear.

I liked Joker alot in Dark KNight, but Palpatine I think out does him with his actions.

Also Chigurh was awesome and after watching the movie I walked home in silence and expected him to show up behind me with a cattle gun.

Bill the Butcher however would be my favorite as he is a complex villain and daniel Day Lewis really plaed him well.

[ghostrider92]

saruman from the lord of the rings trilogy .

[childeroland]

The Joker
Chigurh
The Chairman (from Paprika)
Landa
The Puppeteer (from Ghost in the Shell, Solid State Society)
Samara (from The Ring)
Su-Yeon (from A Tale of Two Sisters)
Kagutaba (from The Curse)
EDIT: Forgot to add Bellatrix, particularly in Harry Potter 7a...poor, poor Dobby.

[Matt Mortem]

Dolores Umbridge from the Harry Potter films. I just re-watched the 5th movie and I have never wanted to stab a middle-aged woman so much in my life. Horrible creature

[Figs]

I can't agree with Palpatine as being one of the best. Yeah he ****ed **** up in Star Wars land but he's still a chode in my eyes...at least due to the prequels...which is the only version you can use in this thread since it's for the 2000's.

[Metallo]

Besides Hans Landa Colonel Quaritch was a film villain of the last ten years that I really enjoyed watching.

[Mister H.]

1. Sarumon - LOTR
2. Joker - TDK
3. Hans Landa - Inglorius Basterds

[bullets]

1. Heath as The Joker
2. Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort
3. Ian McKellen as Magneto
4. The villains of The Lord of the Rings (I don’t really want LotR to take up 3 spots, and I can’t choose between Sauron, Saruman, and Gollum, so I’m cheating it.)
5. Bill Nighy as Davy Jones
6. Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine
7. Sergi Lopez as Capt. Vidal (Pan's Labyrinth)
8. Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge (Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix)
9. Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh
10. Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd

This is a great list of villains . Although my list would include,
Tobin Bell as Jigsaw (Saw 1-3)

[Sawyer]

This evil mother****er...
7TXyc1BmXTE

[Drizzle]

The Na'vi
:huh:

[gwynplaine]

The mother and that guy from "Animal Kingdom" were pretty scary.
Great Film:up:.

[childeroland]

Forgot to mention Kagutaba from Noroi: The Curse and Eun-Joo from A Tale of Two Sisters. Should also mention Mr. Baek from Lady Vengeance, though of course Lee Geum-ja totally overshadows the film. And Lee Woo-jin from Oldboy.

[CJ]

Alfred Molina as Doc Ock.

Heath Ledger as The Joker.

Syndrome from The Incredibles.

Vincent from Collateral.

That's all I can think of for now.

[RedSkull]

The Joker, Syndrome, Yellow Basterd from Sin City and while I have't seen it mentioned yet, Sergie Lopez as Captain Vidal and Pans Labyrinth

[Union Jack]

the joker
doc ock
lex luthor (but millions of people will die,Billions - replies lex,thats nasty stuff!)

[Hotwire]

A couple that have not been mentioned.
The Neighborhood Watch Alliance - Hot Fuzz
Rattlesnake Jake - Rango


My favorite has to go to Alonzo Harris from Training Day. I've never been happier when a villain bought it. Although, I will say Captain Vidal, Pan's Labrynth, and Col. Landa, Inglorious Basterds, are also played to perfection as pure, scum of the Earth.

[sagemoveman]

Jaquien Phoenix in Gladiator

[gwynplaine]

^ Good one. I though he was great too. I hope he'll play another good villain again some day.

[gwynplaine]

Once again Best Villain of the 2000s: :hoboj:
Or is it just best performance of the 2000s?

[Hurm...]

Best villain of the 2000s is Voldemort.

Best performance is Heath as Joker IMO.

[Thebumwhowalks]

I think this guy is one of the best screen villans of the 2000s...definitely has the best haircut anyway...

"No...no...no...no....no! You need to go now...

Do you see any Teletubbies around here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clippd to my shirt with my name printed on it?
Do you see a little Asian child with a blank expression sitting outside in a mechanical helicopter that shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that's what you see at a toy store, and you're in here shopping for an infant named Jeb. One of us has made a gross error, and wasted the other person's valuable time..."

Unbreakable made the top ten list of superhero films in Time magazine that was discussed in that thread the other month, and given the amount of discussion on it in there, I would still say it was underrated. I mean, there was one poster in particular, one who usually goes into discussions on these types of things in depth, and he did not put it on his top fifeteen(i think it was) list of sh films, i mean, he did not even mention the film at all, as was if he dare not even speak it's name.... I wonder why?
Maybe not used to seeing SamLJ in the super-villan role or something? :cwink:
