re: Spin-Off: Empire Magazine releases its list of the Greatest Movie Villains of All-Time

No way. Arnold was way scarier in the first film.

Also the shark from Jaws would eat half of these clowns.

Love him, but was he really that much of a villain? He was almost comical.

Also, the T100 was scarier than the T-1000. But I don’t hate him on the list.


The Kylo Ren thing makes this list debunk. One of the worst “villains” in the entire franchise. He’s just a spoiled kid. Mother dearest belongs on this list higher than him. Hell, the girls from Mean Girls belong on this list before him.

The british calvary dude from the patriot

Bad guy from The Incredibles , Syndrome, was straight ruthless .

I don't like to include villains who have no soul. T1000 only was evil because he was programmed that way.

I never even thought of Gollum as a villain.

I'm not feeling half this list. It doesn't say whether voters were given choices or whether it was completely write-in votes, but some of these shouldn't be ahead of certain villains that didn't even make the top 20.

Too many classic villains to pick:

Roy Batty (a very nuanced villain, to be sure, but a villain all the same, and the nuance made him a superb villain.) Keyser Soze. HAL 9000. Khan. Noah Cross. A couple Bond villains, take your pick. Ernst Toht. Any of the old Universal monsters (minus the Wolfman, because he was a victim.) The Phantom of the Opera. The Wicked Witch from "The Wizard of Oz." Leatherface. And so on.

Plus, the Rabbit of Caerbannog, easily the most sublime villain in cinema history.

Also, the original Alien wasn't a villain. It was an animal driven to survive. Being a villain implies at least a capacity to do evil for reasons other than biological instinct. At least Jaws demonstrated the capacity to hold grudges.

This thing is craziness. Nothing from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves should ever make any list ever.

Jaws should be on here too. Scared the crap outta me when I was a kid.
