Your Favorite Villain Interpretation?
Before you post, let me clarify the question: What is your favorite rendition of any villain in any movie, as portrayed by an actor / actress?
I'll start: Heath Ledger's Joker in "The Dark Knight" -2008- Joaquin Phoenix's Commodus in "Gladiator" -2000-

Schwarzenegger in "The Terminator" (1984) was great in another way. |

Not my MOST favorite, but I have a feeling Frank Langella's take on Skeletor won't be mentioned much. People can say whatever about that movie, but HE was great, undeniably.

Gary Oldman in Leon the Professional, Dracula, and True Romance.
Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects. Terrence Stamp in Superman 2. So many great lines. Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York. Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds. Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear. Nicholas Cage/John Travolta as Castor Troy in Face Off. Fourteen year old me thought they did a great job as the perfect smart ass Mary Sue badguy. It probably doesn't hold up now, but whatever, memories.

Those are all really good. Especially Zod.
I make it a point to use "Why do you say this to me...? ...When you know I will kill you for it?" in trivial situations as often as possible. Usually to my wife. It's fine, she gets it. Really.

Oh yes, it's bliss. And it always gets a reaction one way or the other. These days, it's usually "Yeah, uh-huh, we're still out of butter, eat your f*cking waffles, jackass." We have fun. |

Since I saw a Garry Oldman reference, I also say that he did a decent job as Dr. Smith from Lost in Space *1998*.
Heck even Jeremy Irons played as a decent a-hole in a few movies.

As long as we're talking Jokers, I'm voting for Jack's version. Sorry, Ledger fans, but he just can't cut the mustard (gas) for me. For me, seeing Jack's grinning (NOT cut-up) face throwing money to the crowd while gleefully plotting to murder them all with poison gas-filled giant balloons will ALWAYS be the ultimate Joker "prank". It's just his style! I DARE you to watch the Batman: TAS with Hamill's take(ALSO awesome!), and compare it to what Jack did, and NOT find that the best way to interpret him! Heath just went too "dark" with him, IMHO.
Ah, Zod. Who DOESN'T love that Kryptonian psychopathic genocidal jerk?! Hmm, Skeletor from the He-Man movie was sooo good, too. My, Leo- we seem to think alike so often, it's scary, LOL! One of my other faves is Ian McKellan's Magneto. He just seemed to hit it spot-on for me. Really liked Willem Dafoe's Goblin, too. But I like him in almost anything- Boondock Saints is one of the FEW movies my hubby and I can agree on being a favorite!

You can debate about which Batman villain was portrayed better, but anyone who prefers Batman Forever's Twoface over Nolan's Two-face is out of their mind.
I have no idea why they made Two Face into a Joker clone in Batman Forever. Did the writers even know who Two-Face was? All he did was constantly giggle and laugh and prance around the whole movie. Even when I was a kid I was wondering what the hell was up with that. |
