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

[Casual Shinji]

Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End

Yes, I wanted the supposed good guys - treacherous, raping and pillaging pirates - to get blown to smithereens by the East India Trading Company.

Especially whimpy little Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly. God, did I hate them!

 

[lapsed_pacifist]

I don't know if it's already been said but "XXX". The bad guys in that were fucking way cool, while Vin was a cheesy twat.

And correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the bad guys win in "The Usual Suspects"? Not much point in wanting them to win when they did anyway eh?

 

[Gahars]

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.

Seriously, I hated all the protagonists so much (what with some of the best characters on screen, like Shia Labeuf, Token Hot Chick who wants to hear Shia say he loves her, John Tutorro, Annoying hispanic guy, two black stereotype robots, Shia's even more annoying parents, etc.), the Earth blowing up would've been a great conclusion. All the characters I hate would die, and the movie would finally end.

 

[Meestor Pickle]

Why didn't I see this thread before everyone else took all my stuff.

Lets assume they make a command and conquer movie, I want Kane to win.

But yeah, Avatar made little sense (Humans bomb from space\nuke\come back with better force)
The Empire from star wars really should have won that one too.

 

[M4A1Sopmod]

I always want the bad guys to win. Something about those black hats and phony Russian accents makes me wish them the best of luck.

 

[SHIFTYMACO]

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

the hero was liam neeson
your arguement is invalid

I agree Fully!

And to all the 'Blue people of avatar winning against the humans' Imagine what would happen if all the creatures of Earth attacked humans at once!

We would get PWND!

my list of bad guys that I wished had gotten away with it:
1. Humphrey Bogart - in both Petrified Forest (1936) High Sierra (1941)
2. Jack Lemmon - China Syndrome (1979) (bad guy for all the right reasons)
3. Joseph Cotten - A Shadow Of A Doubt (1943)
4. Robert De Niro and crew - Heat (1995)
5. Joe Pesci - Home Alone (1991)
6."the Ex-presidents gang"- Point Break (1991)
7. Johnny Depp - Public Enemies (2009)
8. Matt Dillon - Armoured (2009)
9. the Imperial Sardaukar soldiers - Dune (1984)
10. any villain on any episode of Hawaii 5-0 (1968-1976) (I despised Jack Lord's character!)
11. Harvey Keitel - City Of Industry (1997)

Where the Wild Things Are:
There really weren't any actual bad guys. I just wanted that damn kid to get eaten, or at least slapped really hard by his mother when they reunite in the end. My friends felt the same way.

I also felt the same way about Melancholia, but I think that's what the director intended. No one was likable in that film, so I was rooting for the world-ending planet collision.

Then, there was War of the Worlds:
The people were dying like animals and the main characters were jerks. Tom Cruise's character wouldn't explain anything to his kids, his son was a rebellious jerk, and his daughter wouldn't shut up with that irritating voice. When she got abducted, I was whispering, "Leave her!"

 

[sageoftruth]

Birth of a Nation. What do you expect when the good guys are the Ku Klux Klan?

 

[sageoftruth]

I'd have to say...

Any movie where the "good" guys are so terminally stupid that they don't deserve to win.

I was just looking at your badges. You really have the white mage thing going for you don't you?

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

Avatar (Go humans...Why couldn't they just orbital strike them?)

First, let me preface this by saying that yes, I'm aware that they plan on making another Avatar film. No, I have no idea what its plot will be.

That said, realistically, the humans did win. I mean, think about it. You've got a fairly small detachment of Marines (their heaviest equipment being a small number of recon/light assault VTOLs - hell, they had to use a civilian shuttle as a makeshift bomber) that get their asses kicked and sent home. The natives just barely managed to pull this off. Do you honestly believe the Marines just turned tail and ran? I don't. I think they left to regroup.

I expect that if the movie had gone on for another half hour, things would have gotten very bad for the natives very quickly. Colonel Quaritch would have been regarded as a fallen hero, and the Marines would have come back with far heavier equipment to avenge his death. We would have seen the planet's surface glassed, we would have seen round-the-clock air strikes, we would have seen arrows bouncing worthlessly off the heavy armor plating of tanks. The Na'vi would have been regarded as insurgents and brutally put down, since collateral damage wouldn't be a factor.

So yeah... assuming there weren't going to be a sequel, I'd say the Marines lost the battle but would have easily won the war.

EDIT:
Wow, didn't realize someone necro'd this. Sorry, friend!

 

[Frasman]

Kurt Russell in Death Proof - the women in that movie are so shallow and annoying.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Hard Candy. That film does a really good job of fucking with your head. I don?t know, the way the film portrayed the characters made me dislike the protagonist about as much as the antagonist, so I was kind of interested in seeing what would happen when she would eventually fuck up in her master ?make the paedo confess his crimes? plan.

Home Alone. That snotty little brat was annoying.

 

[IamQ]

2. Disney's Hercules: Hades was the only sympathetic character. He's constantly tormented by his entire family and wants to get back at them for years of torture and being forced to live in the underworld. Whereas the "hero's" main goal is to become famous

YES.

It's worth noting that Hades keeps his word regarding every deal he makes, no backstabbing. Yet when he and Herc make a deal at the end who screws over the other? Hercules was a shitty hero.

Well, in all fairness, it was a shitty movie.

OT: Yeah, I can't think of shit right now.

 

[Ryu-Kage]

Odd, a two-year-old thread. Oh well.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head was MAYBE Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The Decepticons are trying to create Energon so that their species doesn't die (from what I gathered from this shitty movie's plot), but the Autobots are against using our Sun to do it because the humans would die from the lack of energy. However, most of the humans in this movie are horrible people anyway: selfish, suspicious for no adequate reason, unfathomably stupid, not grounded in any conceivable sense of reality die die die die DIE! (*cough*) And it seems like just about every person on the planet is like that: insufferably awful. So if this is the race that has to be wiped out to feed Cybertronians, I'm not complaining. (Look at me, trying to offer insight into a Michael Bay movie. Oy.)

Can't really think of many others. Does Dr. Horrible count? Considering Dr. Horrible as the "bad guy" despite being the protagonist? Because I'd root for Dr. Horrible over Captain Hammer any day.

 

[dreddfan]

Avatar, spaceships versus blue cat people, the cat people win, seriously?

It happens in real life. Look at the Vietnam war.

 

[Coffeejack]

Peter Pan. Especially the more recent film. I did not appreciate being dragged to see that.

Also, The Patriot.

 

[Johnny Impact]

The kid from the Cobra Kai Dojo in Karate Kid. I think his name was Johnny.

Sure, he was a bully. But he trained years just to get his ass kicked in the end by some kid with like, what...a couple of weeks of training in karate? Not cool, man.

Not cool.

Yeah, but Daniel was pure of heart, plus he had a training montage. That pretty much seals the deal.

OT: Star Wars. Because Darth Fucking Vader, that's why.

Lord of the Rings. The Men were weak, fractious, and gullible. The Elves were cowards, flat-out running away from the problem. The Dwarves were impotent, mostly killed already by goblins. The Wizards were too few, too self-obsessed, huddling in their towers looking for dead secrets. And Hobbits, don't even get me started. Sauron easily tricked the good races using the Rings, united disparate nations under his banner, built an unassailable fortress and a world-smashing army twice, raised dragons and unkillable wraith servants for fun, and was smarter and more dedicated than all the good races put together.
