We're all frustrated with the current situation and unknown future, so thought something non-football might help us all relax a bit. 

In which film did you like the bad guy more than the good guy?

    Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and EndGame

    Loved the way they portrayed him in the first of those two... Felt almost in agreement with his "actions" coming out of the cinema

    A year later (using a different Thanos) they turned him right into the bad guy and completely switched my mindset of him from one that agreed with him, to that of someone who was just a evil bastard!!

    Know it was only really Josh Brolin's voice but they got the casting spot on with the deep voice that he's got

    The cast of the Italian job, although I felt a bit sorry for John Le Mesurier as the governer being ticked off by Noel Coward about the standards in the prison.

    Surprised it hasn't been mentioned but for me its always Clyde Shelton- Gerard Butlers character in Law Abiding Citizen.

    Yes he us supposed to be the bad guy killing people, but whenever I first watched it I rooting for him the whole way through.

    Michael Rosenbaum’s Luthor was brilliant. Hackman refused to shave his hair, I’m not having that.

    There are a lot of memorable bad guys here, but ones I’d say I liked more than the good guy... TDK’s Joker maybe. Training Day?! Mad! Denzel was a grade-A wanker in that! 

    The Nightmare on Elm Street movies are way better when you root for Freddy! And they all have tragic endings.
