Twilight. Obviously.
Oh yeah, I'd much rather have seen James bite Bellwards face off in that ballet studio and then kill Edtard when he stepped in to try and "save" the day.

Also, I want Freddy Krueger to win, he's so awesome.

... Oh wait. ;D

Red Dawn - I want to see the Russians win for once.

Labyrinth - David Bowie for the win!
I need to watch that again, along with Time Bandits.

Alien/ Aliens/ Alien 3/ Alien Resurrection/ Alien vs. Predator/ etc...
Seeiong how the humans were supposedly the good guys in AvP, but there were 2 sets of bad guys, the alians and the predators (which are also aliens...) which one would you want to win? just to know whether you want the our faces to be raped by spider aliens, or our heads + spines torn out by super-hunter aliens :p

OT
The Town. Ben afleck should've been gunend down along the rest of his homies, fucking bank robbers.

Ergo, the kid from cobra kai sucked ass. Why would you root for the guy that sucks ass?
It´s the Cobra Kai Dojo. The awesomeness of that name alone makes me root for Johnny-boy!
Also: wax on, "wacks" off...an odd and creepy training regime, amirite? I´m not rooting fo THAT guy!

Schindlers li....

no um seriously, Dark Knight. batman was all talky and the joker was all burny.

id say rooting for the bad guys is something to do when your watching a bad movie really. when the movie does such a bad job of trying to make you connect with the good guys that you just identify more with the bad guys who are trying to kill theese two dimensional charecters.

It's funny that the two that immediately come to mind both star Jamie Lee Fox as the protagonist...

Collateral: seriously? You have the super awesome assassin guy die at the end of the movie? What because Jamie Lee Fox gets a lucky shot? (And he was a seriously unlikable character, where as Vincent was awesome!)

I know it's been said many, many times but Law Abiding Citizen, mostly because the movie becomes a completely different movie in the third act that doesn't sync up with rest of the film. (Gerard Butler's character goes from primarily wanting revenge on the system, to it all being about Jamie Lee Fox learning to value his family...) To make matters worse, the lawyer is a smug asshole through the entire movie, who doesn't bother to sympathize with Gerard Butler's character. Basically he's just: "It's all about me".

He didn't deserve to win...

Die hard. They seemed to be on top of everything for almost the enitre movie, matching mclaine's moves but they screw up at the end.
Are you kidding?
Those Russians were complete ass-holes.
Oh, I started crying inside and lost all faith in humanity. Oh, god. This is awful. I'm gonna wait until someone else reali- SCREW IT. THEY'RE GERMAN. AND DON'T SAY SAME THING. *dies inside*
Shit, you have no idea how dumb I feel.
I'm really sorry- you even had to use caps lock to show how distraught you were!
But my point remains, those GERMANS were complete ass-holes.
I still don't understand how anyone would actually root for them.

Law Abiding Citizen, was rooting for Butler all the way (I love movies with guys with plans). Not a movie, but Death Note as well (same reason).

Every movie i've ever seen. I'm a total villain-supporter. As a child I used to be upset when the villain died or was defeated in Disney films.

I wanted Hades to rule Olympus, I wanted Jafar to rule Agrabah, I wanted Scar to rule Pride Rock (particularly this one, something about the destroyed landscape just spoke to a very dark part of me), I wanted Frollo to kill Esmeralda and lock Quasi up forever, I wanted Gaston to kill the Beast.

This carries on to films today. I always want the villains to win. And why? Because the villains are always the coolest characters. Filmmakers try to make the heros the macho, kick-ass characters everyone's meant to look up to, but it doesn't work on me.

Fuck John McClane, I much prefer the Gruber brothers. They're just cooler, by far.

I think it comes down to Hans Gruber being the coolest, suavest ************ to ever lead a robbery and hostage situation. Seriously, how can you NOT love the guy? This is a dude who casually shot a guy in the brain, then went back downstairs to casually declare that the guy "won't be joining us for the rest of his life."

Never. I can't even play the bad guy in video games, so supporting one in a movie is out of the question.

Also, maybe Law Abiding Citizen, although I'm not entirely sure who was what in that film...
The main character would probably have to be the guy that was killing everyone(can't remember his name at the moment).

There are a few series that focus on the bad guy... Dexter is the first one that comes to my mind.

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.
thank you Nostalgia chick

I'll jump on the bandwagon here and say Avatar. I really, really hated how the whole damn thing tried to shove anti-technology, anti-military views down our throughts, painted everyone who wasen't a fucking hippy scientist as a redneck and the Na'vi themselves just pissed me off. They were so god-damn arrogent, they would shoot you as soon a look at you, were ignorant of pretty much everything medical or scientific because their damn planet was made for them in a way that would make Charles Darwin cry his fucking eyes out because apparently natural selection doesn't apply to the gaint god-damn smurfs. Worst of all was the bullshit ending, a god who doesn't take sides decides to help out by making everything from an oversized fucking rhino thing, to damn lizard hyenas attack the humans who had waysuperior technology that was mostly negated by god-damn floating rocks.

And the plot, stereotyped characters and stupid predictable plot twists made it even more agrovating. This damn movie is over 2 hours long, I'd like some damn characterization over Jake "holier than thou" Sully and his fucking preachy girlfriend frolicking in the god-damn hundred acre wood on drugs.
Hear hear! Until the Darwin part. Given how they DID manage to thrive, I think he'd be smug of his big smurf-chillenz.
What I meant is that natural selecction doesn't apply to the fucking smurf rejects because they can use tail/tentacle mind control on everything on that damn planet. No survival of the fittest in any sense, they don't bend to nature it bends to their will. So they actually came off as the spoiled brats of the fucking planet to me.
