Which of these two show-stealing villains gave the best performance?

[rogue trooper]

Max Von Sidow as Ming The Merciless

or

Frank Langella as Skeletor

 

[Mister J]

Langella's Skeletor was all kinds of awesome, particularly in the final confrontation scenes with He-Man.

 

[Grim Goblin]

Langella's performance took the buffoon character of Skeletor and actually made him threatening.

 

[blind_fury]

Ming rules.

close thread.

 

[blud_knight]

uh jack as the joker

 

[rogue trooper]

uh jack as the joker

I didn't add him cause' he is too much an obvious choice. I went for the underrated.

 

[cryptic name]

Langella's Skeletor belonged in a much better movie. he was awesome.

"I want He-Man kneeling at my feet!"

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Fraaannnkkk.

What Grim Goblin said.

 

[Heretic]

First of all...Jack as The Joker is seriously over-rated.

I picked max as Ming...because hes freakin awesome...the scene of his daughter getting tortued and then she screams something like "Wait til my father finds out" and then the torturer turns on the view screen and Ming is watching the torture while eating grapes and drinking wine...thats just perverse...

Zod is also pretty awesome.

Your spelling of 'Sydow' was an interesting choice.

Yep. I just realized. Too late now. Anywho, I just wanted to add something on a related subject. Ironically, Ming and Skeletor were voiced by the same actor in the old Filmation cartoons!!
