Worst Movie Villains of All Time

Unlike the tortured character of the comics, Joel Schumacher's version of Mr. Freeze, as played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, is a total joke.

No really, all he does is jest and pun as he goes about turning Gotham into a twinkly wonderland.

"What killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE!" There are even more terrible puns like that.

A scientist dedicated to saving his wife and curing a deadly disease starts killing innocent people to steal diamonds. Worst villain ever. Horrible acting, worse dialogue. No wonder Patrick Stewart turned down the role.

Venom's live-action debut in Spider-Man 3 definitely didn't do the character justice. Sam Raimi didn't like the character, know him well, or want to include him in the third installment of his Spider-Man films. However, one of the staff members forced him to include Venom only because he's famous.

The bad thing is that the execution of the character in the film is only a broad version of the character and its source material. While the design choices such as the slim build and the way he talks are debatable, the main problems are his lackluster spotlight, minimal screen time, and subpar character development. Venom was just a filler villain who barely contributed to the more important parts of Spider-Man 3.

Venom's character was crammed into the one movie, particularly in the third act, leading to him being wasted. Venom was a very important character in the comics who had a big part in the story, but the decision in Spider-Man 3 to rush the symbiote's relationship with Peter and Eddie, giving him too few scenes to properly develop his character, as well as killing him off after giving him a vague contribution to the film, proves that this movie didn't handle the character well at all.

The Venom symbiote itself was depicted in this movie as a mindless savage, whereas the version in the comics had a personality. Not even Eddie himself was a well-written character in the film either, as he was also a rushed character with weak development. His motivations are more unreasonable compared to his portrayal in the comics, which makes it hard to sympathize with him.

Additionally, Topher Grace, the actor who portrayed Eddie Brock/Venom in this movie, didn't enjoy playing him despite being a fan of the character. Many people said that Topher Grace's casting and performance weren't great, which led to his acting career being badly affected, which was a real shame.

Speaking of criticism, I heard that this Venom received even more hatred after... more

This is where John Travolta's career started to sink.

One of the worst-written villains in any film. And the actor who played him co-wrote this terrible film.

I think Superman IV and Batman and Robin are both proof that people should NOT make a fourth superhero movie.

And how did he get those clothes of his after he was formed from nuclear missiles and a piece of Superman's hair?

Nuclear Man's weakness is staying out of the sun, which makes you burst out with laughter.

Any villain from Batman and Robin should be on this list. That version of Bane is the worst one, though.

Does this even look like Bowser? Bowser is supposed to be a dragon, not a military president with a long tongue and horns sticking out of his head. And why did they keep calling him King Koopa back then instead of Bowser?

Dennis Hopper doesn't even know what he's doing. I wouldn't blame him. I would be confused too if I had to act through anything the script for this movie intended for.

How does this guy look like Bowser? He looks more like a fat hole that came from another stinking dimension, and he was like, "Oh, I'm gonna conquer this stinking dimension just because my tummy orders me to. And I love eating toads and humans."

It felt like he was just there to be there. And he was killed by a laser blast.

Just another run for merchandise.

The movie is a disgrace to the anime.

TASM2 was good with the personal drama, but when it came to writing villains, they were nonstop cringe. This weird, buck-toothed and blue Jamie Foxx is no exception.

I literally cringed every time he was on screen. It's one of the worst performances I've ever seen in my entire life.

I do like Zilla, but he ruined the movie while being called Godzilla. That's what makes the movie bad.

Great movie monster, but not a great Godzilla.
