In what movies did you WANT the bad guys to win?

[Valkyrie101]

Harry Potter.

In my opinion, Voldemort deserved to lose. Not because of karma, or anything like that, but because he's such a fabulously evil villain. Most bad guys at least pretend they're doing something right; Voldemort calls himself 'The Dark Lord' and spends most of his time being massively evil for shits and giggles.

He had it coming.

He did have an agenda of sorts, alongside gathering personal power: dominating the Muggles and making them suffer. However, I'm not sure whether that was an ideological stance, or if he was just going for the Nazi comparison to make himself even more EVULZ. His own absurdity makes him even less appealing than the "good guys" in that franchise.

"Schindler's list." (not really)

 

[Link Kadeshi]

I'm gonna say the Death Note movie. Light should've won.

 

[Bender Rodriguez]

The Usual Suspects.

Keyser Söze is awesome!

And I got a double post for the trouble.

Because that Colonel was the most badass individual ever, and the good guys were a bunch of hippies.

Law Abiding Citizen

The baddie was the only character who didn't feel strange, somehow. I also thought that his motives were quite relatable (in a different movie he might even have been the good guy).

PS.
Fuck you, captcha. I am typing the right thing.

What did get me in that movie is when he walks in on his daughter's friend in the whorehouse. She's trashed on drugs, barely recognizes him, but she's still alive. He's just like "screw this!" and just leaves her there.

Actually, she was dead. They ODed her. As I recall, he closed her eyes before leaving her.

EDIT: You're probably mixing two different scenes from that movie, now that I think about it.

 

[Zeroghee]

Law Abiding Citizen here also.

 

[IndianaJonny]

The Commando Elite from Small Soldiers.

"I want it mobile and I want it leath-ile"

 

[FallenTraveler]

Twilight. Obviously.

who was the bad guy though? I mean, they all kinda suck as people/creatures....

I kinda wish the army wouldve found out and nuked that place, just because

edit: Forgot to say, Harry Potter, District 9 (idk why, I just wanted to see human armed forces actually do something RIGHT FOR ONCE), The Dark Knight (surprised no one has mentioned it, or maybe they have but I havent seen it )

 

[faspxina]

Chronicles of Narnia, that witch was badass! xD

 

[vrbtny]

Taken. The hero was a dick and the damsel in distress was an idiot.

the hero was liam neeson
your arguement is invalid

Seconded.

Taken. The hero was a dick and the damsel in distress was an idiot.

I wouldn't say dick. He wanted his daughter back, she got taken by bastards, and the police were corrupt. Liam Neeson played it well, and stuff like this does sometimes happen to people who are too relaxed. (BTW, Russia, Red Square, you're safer with a rental, or even hitch hiking than flagging a cab. Basically all the taxis in Red Square are controlled by the Russian Mafia.)

I thought she was dead. Since he check her pulse and everything and she wasn't even moving at all.

 

[V TheSystem V]

Escape From Sobibor.

Schindler's List.

I'M KIDDING! Either The Matrix or Superman Returns. Luthor came so close...

 

[AudienceOfOne1]

Its a game not a film.

The whole Fucking cast of final fantasy 13 can go and fucking. die. painfully.
- yep I wanted the evil guys to win. They had guns, I had a boomerang, how the fuck does that work.

 

[C117]

Not really a movie, but...

Full Metal Panic.

If only to make sure Testarossa is strangled to death...

To be fair, there were so many time when Voldemort chose to be evil rather than tactically sound. Unlike the good guys, who can't 'blacken themselves with evil ways', there's nothing to stop the bad guy doing the nice thing once a while if it serves his purposes.

If he'd read the Evil Overlord List [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilOverlordList], he'd probably have been fine.

 

[Emperor Inferno]

Most of them. I'm kinda sick.
