Let off some steam Bennett. (Commando) I actually felt for this actor because he was to be the villain for Arnold in his Arnold-iest. I guess chain mail goes a long way.  Yeah, having a hard time believing Freddie Mercury as Arnie's physical equal. |

Sorry movieman, I know my opinion is not popular, I tried and I tried to like Williams as Walter Finch, but I can´t. Maybe it´s me, I don´t like subtle villains at all. I don´t find him creepy enough. I am just giving you are hard time really and we can't help what type of things we prefer. Who are the type of villains you like? For this kind of role, Hannibal Lecter comes to mind, Amon Goeth too. I like Hans Gruber, Norman Stansfield, Nurse Ratched, Jack Torrance, but I would not compare them to this particular character we are talking about. Agree with you, we can´t help what type of things we prefer. |

Agree with you, we can´t help what type of things we prefer. For someone who loves Gary Oldman as much as I do, I have never been a huge fan of his performance in Leon. I don't find him all that menacing tbh. In terms of preference I'd rank those like this. 1. Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector 2. Amon Goeth (though I think he is relatively subtle with his performance) 3. Jack Torrance 4. Nurse Ratchet 5. Hans Gruber 6. Walter Finch 7. Stansfield I personally nominate all of them except Oldman. |

I prefer Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter.
Seen Hume Cronyn in Brute Force? He's a quiet kind of menacing.

The computer geek mastermind in DIE HARD 4. Damn! You beat me to it!  I remember starting an entire thread on the old IMDB message boards about just how lame Thomas Gabriel was. Even McClaine's daughter was more threatening than him! |

There is absolutely nothing menacing, creepy or intimdating about him. To each their own...I guess. Hume Cronyn in Brute Force is excellent. |

I think Hopkins comes across as a caricature, not a real person-but I am not speaking about intimidation, just the depiction of the character for the purpose of the film. As a boogeyman he is effective but I can believe Cox was a doctor--I cannot picture Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs being anyone's doctor.
He needs the doctor.
And yes on Die Hard 4 again--the one think you expect from a Die Hard film is a good villain and boy did they blow it.
There's also Richard Roxburgh in Van Helsing--he's a pretty bad Dracula. Totally unscary. I still think the (bald) guy in Blade 3 is the worst Dracula ever, worse than the guy in Dracula vs Frankenstein even.

Bennett in Commando: I really love listening to your little piss-ant soldiers trying to talk tough. They make me laugh. If Matrix was here, he'd laugh too.

Say what you will about Vernon Wells as Bennett in "Commando", but at least he makes up for being least intimidating as the menacing Mr. Igoe in "Innerspace".   |

I'm betting no one will know this, but I saw this movie when I was maybe 4 yrs. old, and I still have nightmares from its sheer stupidity... The bear from The Wilderness Family 2. (Yes, they made a sequel to a movie called The Wilderness Family--and, let me tell ya, it's just as bad as it sounds. And they made not only one sequel, but TWO! Unbelievable. I mourn for the human race if we have reached this point.)  That bear is the least threatening "villain" known to man--a teddy bear would be more menacing. If anyone here has had to subject him- or herself to this torture--you know what I'm talking about! If not, to quote Lemony Snicket, you can't possibly imagine. I suppose I'll turn my original statement here into a question: has anyone here been so unfortunate as to have seen this abomination? I'm not recommending it by any means--it doesn't even fall into the "so bad it's good" category; it's "bad-bad" or, as politicidal better phrased it, "boring-bad"--but am just wondering if anyone else here has actually seen it. We can comfort each other and get through our experiences together. |
