Top 10 movies with the most ridiculous villains

Initially, the scriptwriters carefully think through the image of each character down to the smallest detail. If we are talking about the classic confrontation between positive and negative characters, then the contrast between them should be especially visible.

That is why the story, the external image and the replicas of the villains are written so carefully. But that’s about the text in the script. In practice, the place has many factors: the work of make-up artists and stylists, the acting and appearance of the actor himself, etc.

We present 10 films where the main villains turned out to be really ridiculous, disappointing their fans.

10 Dominic Green, “Quantum of Solace” | 2008

The image of the villain turned out to be so stupid and implausible that many viewers did not even remember the character at all.

In the era of Bond, there were various negative heroes: romantics, calculating cynics, insane megalomaniacs, etc.

It was at least somehow interesting to the viewer, unlike the faceless and unemotional Dominic Green. The scriptwriters did not even work out the death of the villain – it happened, as it were, behind the scenes without epic groans, explosions, collapse of structures, unusual use of improvised props, etc.

9. Poison Ivy, Batman & Robin | 1997

The picture itself did not turn out very well: there was not enough action, no interesting story, no memorable characters. Uma Thurman, who played the Poison Ivy villain, tried to salvage the situation as best she could.

As a result, her role turned out to be very funny and, of course, a little sexy. The very idea of ​​being able to control men with pheromones is ridiculous.

And if you look at the character’s ridiculous synthetic costume and vulgar cheap makeup, then it turns out to be a comedy at all, and not a superhero adventure film.

8. Mr. Freeze, Batman & Robin | 1997

And again the same picture, full of ridiculous characters. Now consider the second terrible villain – Mr. Freeze, performed by Schwarzenegger. Who even thought of inviting Mr. Terminator to this ridiculous and inadequate role.

Just imagine that the brutal German had to play the organ, sing in the choir, start tame penguins and gather an army in fur coats. Do you think this is some kind of very funny comedy? So no, this is the whole situation that surrounded Schwartz-Frieze.

And if you remember the legend of the character, you can generally burst out laughing. Mr. Freeze inadvertently spilled cryogenics on himself while trying to find a cure for his sick wife. Well, you just wonder what kind of fantasy the screenwriters can have!

7. Candyman, «Candyman» | 1992

The villain from the film of the same name is another image that “does not fit on your head.”

A strange maniac lives in a parallel world who injures his victims with a prosthetic hook instead of a hand. In order to call the furious Candyman, you need to stand in front of the mirror and call him up to 5 times in a row.

The story is sucked from the finger – who would do such nonsense in life? Nevertheless, the Americans bought into the picture, so she managed to gain a few fans.

6. Lex Luthor, Superman Returns | 2006

Luthor was played by several actors, but it was in this picture that the villain turned out to be especially ridiculous. Actor Spacey did a bad job of portraying the sad side of the villain while playing a rabid hatred of Superman.

Luthor in his performance operated with a prudent intellect and a cold mind, which turned out to be feigned and unnatural for the actor. Of course, the goal was achieved to some extent, since Luthor appeared to be the complete antipode of the goodie.

5. Captain Salazar, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales | 2017

In the epic about pirates, we observed a wide variety of negative characters, including insidious, charming, cunning and prudent. We saw Beckett and Sparrow, who broke the laws, but remained funny adventurers, interesting to the viewer.

Captain Salazar, on the other hand, appeared as an “honest policeman” who is forced to bear the burden of his villainy, clearing the sea from pirates. Isn’t Salazar doing a good deed?

Sooner or later you begin to sympathize with him and even to some extent wish for a just victory. Agree, strange emotions in relation to the villain.

4. Stoddard, «Spartan» | 2004

The main villain was played by the talented drama actor Macy. Previously, Will has already appeared as a villain in the film “Fargo”, and he succeeded.

David Mammet invited the actor to play the villainous part in the thriller “Spartan”, handing him a firearm and rewarding him with the role of a fearless operative.

But no matter how Macy brandished his gun menacingly and raised his eyebrows in anger, the role of the villain did not work out for him. In the main fight of the film against Kilmer, he looked, to put it mildly, ridiculous.

3. Alan Feinstone, The Dentist | 1996

Fear of dentists has haunted us since childhood. One has only to remember a buzzing drill, a scary masked doctor and a tooth on a napkin with blood residue.

The director of the film “The Dentist” decided to speculate on childhood fear by making a picture about a bloodthirsty killer dentist with schizophrenia.

Despite the terrible sadistic experiments, many viewers “spit” on the role of the main villain. The actor himself looks so disgusting and ridiculous that I don’t want to watch the film at all.

2. Victoria Leeds, Baywatch | 2017

Priyanka Chopra as a villain is kind of ridiculous. How can such a beauty cause a feeling of rejection and righteous anger?

Priyanka is good in the role of a romantic and feminine heroine, but she clearly failed as a swindler from a criminal gang.

And the authors of the script did not fully work out her image, mixing the heroine’s insidious plans with her obvious sexual attractiveness.

1. Katherine Trammel, Basic Instinct 2: Risk Taking | 2006

And again, from a sexy woman, they are trying to make an insidious villain-killer. During the recession of her career, Sharon Stone once again ventured back to the image of Catherine Trammel from Basic Instinct.

Only in the second part, the mature woman failed to either recreate the quivering and sexy image of the young writer, or properly play the negative character.

Even the most bloodthirsty and merciless villains on the screen can suddenly look completely stupid, miserable and sluggish. Instead of instilling fear in the viewer, some negative characters caused a smile or sincere laughter.
