Robert DeNiro's character in 'Heat', for one. I so wanted him to escape with Amy Brenneman, but of course, that doesn't happen in the movies.
I did that the first time I saw these moviesOhhh Darth Vader for sure. I mean, sure there are those 10 minutes at the end of Jedi where he's good, but right up until then he's pure, perfect badness.
Besides the ones mentioned already, the villain group in The Marine--the main character became so robotic after the first act, and they were kinda funny.
Also, to talk about actual good movies, Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula. He's somewhat different, in that he doesn't have a grand plan like he does in the book, and Harker is such a dullard and Van Helsing is a bit of a nut, that ole' Drac can't help but look better in comparison.
The one I have the most trouble with is Die Hard, both the hero and villian are just way too awesome. Hans is one of the greatest movie villians of all time, but John McClane is just as good, too hard to chose who should win.
Of course. Hans Gruber. Charming, international bandit. In the end, he died hard. He's the title character!
Don't even get me started on Johnny, the Karate Kid.
what? who's darkness? I don't know ****
