Top 10 List - Movie Villains


TOP 10 MOVIE VILLAINS


 So every ten movie reviews, I will do a top 10 list of something. Here goes some villains:

 You know them, you can hear their voices in your head. You say their famous quotes every day, when you were little, these were the guys hiding in your closet.

1. Darth Vader - 10
“I find your lack of faith disturbing”

The best movie villain. Hands down. One of my favorite things about him is his redemption story arch in the end. His menacing mask and deep voice are just.. scary.

2. The Joker (TDK) - 10
"You wanna know how I got these scars?"

Now this is a villain who is truly chaotic. With apparently no rhyme nor reason to anything he does, Heath Ledger does the performance of a lifetime in The Dark Knight.

3. Loki - 10
"Born to be a king, I ask one thing in return: a front seat to watch Earth burn."

In every movie he is in, Loki steals the show. Charismatic, and with a brother who is a hero, Loki and his quippy dialogue works perfectly.

4. Gollum - 10
"My... Precious"

In both Lord of the Rings movies and the one Hobbit movie, his split personality is so engaging! Andy Serkis' performance is phenomenal every time.

5. Agent Smith - 10
"Mr. Anderson..."

With the abilities this guy has, who doesn't want Neo to punch him in the nose? Then again, and again.

6. The Witch King - 9.5
"Do not come between the Nazgul and his prey."

Although he works better with Eowyn, the Witch King is frightening and almost un-defeatable.

7. Davy Jones - 9.5
"Jack Sparrow, do you fear death?"

Amazing visuals and a great general idea propel Davy Jones to be amazing in both movies he's in.

8. Colonel William Lavington - 9.5
"You know, it's an ugly business doing one's duty... but just occasionally it's a real pleasure."

The one thing I can think when I watch The Patriot, is how much I hate this guy.

9. Scar - 9.5
"I killed Mufasa!"

The only villain on this list from an animated film, Scar scared every little kid out of their minds. His sarcastic and violent nature are super creepy.

10. Biff Tannen - 9
"What are you looking at, Butthead."

In all three Back to the Future films, Biff provides a bully-like antagonist not commonly seen.


Thanks for reading my first top 10 list, you awesome person.

Movie Review #17 - War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

Image
A Movie Review by Carter Rutledge for: Movie Synopsis: Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both of their species and the future of the planet. MPAA Rating:  PG-13 The Good: Literally everything. The Bad:  Some story conveniences. Why I Watched it: Because Rise got me attached and Dawn blew me away. My Thoughts (no penny needed): This is an amazing movie. Last year, I would have told you Planet of the Apes is the dumbest thing ever (right next to Ninja Turtles). Now that I've seen the reboots, I want to see the originals. (kind of) Everything in this movie is amazing. There are so many emotionalaly...

Surrounded by the brutal realties of war, while searching for Ryan, each man embarks upon a personal journey and discovers their own strength to triumph over an uncertain future with honor, decency and courage. MPAA Rating:  R The Good: Amazing story, acting, and editing. The Bad:  Quite a bit of language, and the amount of violence is not for everyone. Why I Watched it: I have a watchlist of R rated movies, and this one has been at the top for some time now. My Thoughts (no penny needed): I'm not a huge fan of Steven Spielberg, but this film really shines. Literally almost everything is perfection in this film. The acting is amazing, the cinematography is spot-on, and the editing was amazing.  John Williams really let me down here, compared to everything else he has ...

Movie Review #12 - The Truman Show (1998)

Image
A Movie Review by Carter Rutledge for: Movie Synopsis: Truman Burbank lives a happy life. However, what he doesn't know is that his life is actually the focus of a reality TV show aired since his birth, that he's the star, his hometown is a giant set piece, and that everyone around him is an actor. MPAA Rating:  PG The Good:  Acting, sets, writing, amazing emotion and creativity The Bad:  It is a little bit slow, and has some bad language. Why I Watched it: After my dad showed me the ending when I was little, I wanted to know about that door. When I saw it on Amazon last year, I jumped on the opportunity. My Thoughts (no penny needed): Wow. I wrote this review on my third viewing of this film, and it is so much better than it was before. I can not stop thinking of anything but this movie for two whole days. I can't explain it easily, but this movie is just so powerful. All of my favorite movies are my favorite for different reasons, and the Truman Sh...
