"The Rock"

Ed Harris as a (rightfully) pissed off general.

This is one of the few action movies I can think of where the villain is more than just a one dimensional evil douche.

Seriously? Either way I think the intention was for you to root for them.


Yes I couldn't stand them. That's part of why I didn't like the movies. I just wanted everyone to get caught or killed.

Godfather Saga - Michael & Vito Corleone: This would be my top vote. They are bad guys in a sea of bad guys, but you want them to succeed over all other while not getting caught.


I started out this way, but I like them a little less every time I watch the movie. Michael isn't a victim of circumstance, he's a psychopath. If things had turned out a little differently, he'd have been doing it in the Senate instead of from his Tahoe compound, but he's a psychopath either way.

Stephen Lang was the best thing about Avatar. By the end of the movie I found myself rooting for him.

Transformers: I wanted Megatron to beat Optimus, kill Sam, and take over the Earth. Mainly because I like Megatron.

By the time I sat through it, I rooted like a motherfricker for Darth Maul in the Phantom Menace.
