re: Films where in retrospect, you feel the antagonist was right..

And these aren't villains, but the father and the brother on "50 First Dates". Just imagine her waking up pregnant every day and not knowing the guy who knocked her up nor being able to properly raise a kid since she'll forget everything she'll ever learn about the kid and the husband. Adam Sandler should have left her alone.

Smith was exactly what he accused humanity of being though. Cypher I can understand how he felt gipped in all this, but Smith embodies everything he hates.

Yeah, I've thought about 50 First Dates a lot. It doesn't matter how cute they make that final scene, every morning of her life is going to be terrifying. I am not saying the plan to keep her life the same everyday is a good idea either, but it's a very depressing story if you think about it too hard.

Wizard of Oz

Here’s what people need to realize about Thanos: Thanos is only civil if he’s in control and right. I’m sure someone had brought it up to Thanos why doesn’t he double the resources, but I think Thanos had been doing culling for so long before he found out about the Infinity Stones that he felt there was no going back on his genocidal mission and was going to see it through. Once the control and what he perceived as his fairness is wrestled away by the Avengers, he was going to cull everyone as punishment for daring to destroy what he thought would be utopia. Thanos was not right. Still a fantastic villain though.

Emperor Palpatine..

Let's face it, without the Empire the Galaxy is a lawless mess.

Not a movie but Shane from The Walking Dead.

Telly from Kids

Now that I think about it, the notion that Kaffee would not seek a plea bargain is preposterous. Without any hard evidence (internal memorandum) confirming that the order for the code red came from Jessup, the Marines don’t have a case. I understand that Lt. Colonel shows up halfway through the movie and is almost willing to take the stand. But he’s obviously mental and wouldn’t be a credible witness against Jessup. Galloway fouls up and doesn’t discover that Downey didn’t hear Kendrick directly give the order until he takes the stand. Then Kaffee’s last resort is to badger Jessup on the stand and ask argumentative questions to rattle Jessup. The judge warns Kaffee to knock it off, tells him he’s in contempt of court, and refuses not to immediately escort Kaffee from the court room.

The only person in this damn movie who is doing a spectacular job is Captain Ross (Kevin Bacon) and he’s the attorney who loses.
