10 Most Hated Movie Villains of All Time, Ranked

There are few elements as imperative to a great story as a truly fantastic villain. However, villains can come in many different forms, from the so bad they’re good type—like Heath Ledger’s the Joker or Christoph Waltz’s Han Landa—to the misunderstood antagonists who intrigue viewers with their shady morality and their complexity, like Blade Runner’s Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer). Sometimes, though, it is just nice to have a big bad who is oh so good at being evil.
