Welcome to Cinematic Error and today we will be setting up our list for the Top Ten Villain in the 21st-century movies. For this list, we will be concentrating on the humanoid villains which exclude Godzilla or Anaconda from the list. Villains are one of the most important parts but sometimes they become the best part of the movies. We would be counting down villains with a significant role, great acting, critical acclaim and gathered a huge amount of fan love. So sit back and relax because it's gonna be an adventurous ride in the dark side of the Force. SPOILER ALERT MAY BE!!!
- BILL ( KIL BILL VOL.-1&2): Bill aka Snake Charmer portrayed by the veteran actor David Carradine did charm the audience by his performance. This ruthless leader who want one of his Assassins (Beatrix Kiddo aka Black Mamba) dead because he thinks she betrayed him. The former leader of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. So he groups up the members of his group and kills her and her child in a wedding chapel with 8 other people only to his despair she survives and now is coming back with all she has got for the revenge. He is also the former lover of Beatrix and the father of her daughter. He is the final and eponymous target of Beatrix's revenge.
- SAURON ( LORD OF THE RINGS SERIES): The title character and the main antagonist of the series and also identified as the Necromancer is hard to forget when counting down the list of villains. He was the commander in general for the battle of the middle earth. Creator of the One Ring, Sauron was the most feared guy when it comes to the battle against the army of Mordor. We all just pray his eye doesn't spot our beloved Hobbit Frodo and is not able to lay his hands on the ring.
- DARTH VADER( STAR WARS SERIES): This fictional character of the Star Wars universe is one from whom the whole of the galaxy fears was originally a Jedi warrior but was turned to the dark side by Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. Craving to his personal needs and forgetting the values of selflessness that a Jedi must possess this young gallant warrior became the Dark Prince of the Galaxy far far away. Portrayed by many actors along the filming process of the whole series this one cannot be forgotten.
- AGENT SMITH ( THE MATRIX SERIES): “Only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love”. Although after the movie the love that all the human brain had for the character portrayed by Hugo Weaving was unending. Especially the way he greets Neo, Oh one love to see such manners and gentleman quality when talking about the villain of a prominent series and that is what makes him a stand alone in the list. Smith is an AI program in the matrix to keep order within the system by terminating human subject which could bring instability to the system. Welcome to the Matrix, Mr. Anderson.
- VOLDEMORT ( HARRY POTTER SERIES ): “The boy who lived comes to die”. This iconic character from the wizarding world of Harry Potter created by J.K. Rowling is one of the fan favorite villain of all time. Portrayed by Ralph Fiennes, Voldemort is the central antagonist and archenemy of Harry Potter who according to a prophecy has the power to vanquish the Dark Lord. Started as a student from the Slytherin House of Hogwarts he came to the most feared person in the wizarding world and also known as the last descendant of the wizard Salazar Slytherin. He who must not be named was sure to be named when it comes to the Dark Side.
- ANTON CHIGURH (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN): Portrayed by the veteran actor Javier Bardem gets our heart pounding when it comes about the villain from this movie. He is ruthless and will kill anyone who comes in his way of retrieving the stolen case of money. Portrayed with such delicacy this iconic role is hard to forget. He is remorseless and a man of few words and most often those words are as philosophical as terrifying and threatening.
- CALVIN J. CANDIE (DJANGO UNCHAINED): In this Quentin Tarantino western Calvin Candie is an owner of a plantation known as Candyland where he rules over the slaves with an iron fist. Portrayed by the legendary Leonardo DiCaprio, oh I don't wanna say any anymore just give him his bloody Oscar wait a min they did last year. This character has no redeeming quality, he is short tempered, snappy dresser and treats people like an object. But one think you will definitely love about him is his presence on the screen.
- RAOUL SILVA (SKYFALL): For the second time on the list a character portrayed by Javier Bardem, believe me, this never fails to surprise you when it comes to the Dark Side. I think he mastered the Dark Side better than Anakin himself. Portraying the antagonist in the Bond series this character was one who got everyone talking after the movie some considering better than the Bond himself. Do leave a comment on what do you think over this point. An ex-MI6 operative who turned into a cyber terrorist is just awesome to watch especially the scene where he gets to talk about the story of the rat and the island it is just so freaking awesome, gave me goosebumps while writing about it.
- HANS LANDA (INGLORIOUS BASTARDS): Third Quentin Tarantino flick in a count of ten proves that he just gives you the best villain of all time. This portrayal got Christoph Waltz his present day stardom launching the German actor into main stream Western movies and also getting him his Oscar. A fact to state over here that whenever Christoph Waltz and Quentin Tarantino joined hands Christoph laid his hands on the golden statue, we just can't wait to see them together again. He portrays an SS Colonel who is popularly known as the Jew Hunter as he is too good in killing the hiding jews in Germany occupied France. A so complex character that Hans can be so charming one second and literally turning and killing an entire family in the other scene and he does that also with perfection. You just can't get better than that believe me. His charm masks his fear and remorseless character sharp intelligent just makes him that much more intimating for the viewers.
- THE JOKER (THE DARK KNIGHT): “Why so Serious??”. While Christopher Nolan Batman series had many villains but the one who will be remembered for decades to come is the Joker. I really don't know what to write about it as it is just great to watch and don't recall any moment which you will not love. He is scary, test Batman psychologically, hands big weaponry, executes a plan like no one and one just can't forget the laughter. Portrayed by the deceased Heath Ledger gaining him his posthumous Oscar. The unique and makeshift makeover add the perfect ingredient to make a fearful villain which was absent from other Joker portrayal. One can never get bored watching him and it is too sad we can't get to see more of him. He is just the perfect Villain one can wish for.
