Everyone loves a good villain, or at least loves to hate a good villain. Most movies - whether fictional or based on true events - simply wouldn't function the same way without compelling antagonists, if they even functioned at all. Heroes and anti-heroes alike need obstacles to overcome, with the provision of such things often falling on the capable shoulders of a story's villain, or villains, to the point where movies without traditional antagonists are quite uncommon.
But the King of the Monsters’ opponents in 2014’s Godzilla, the MUTOs, deserve a little more love than they tend to get. Their name is short for “Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism,” and not only do they have a cool design, but a pair of them put up a surprisingly good fight against Godzilla during a spectacular climactic battle that’s easily the best part of the entire movie.
Jacki Weaver plays this grandmother, and shows herself to be a calculating and surprisingly sinister matriarch of the family, and someone who’s pulling most of the strings. Ben Mendelsohn also plays a great villain here, as the most outwardly physical and aggressive member of the Cody crime family, but Weaver’s character – not so menacingly nicknamed “Smurf” – is a different kind of villain; a more subtle and inevitably more memorable one.
6 David 'Alien: Covenant' The Alien series is home to some great villains, including the Xenomorph from the 1979 original and the greedy/callous Carter J. Burke from 1986’s Aliens. More underrated, however, is the android David from the ever-divisive Alien: Covenant, which stands as a sequel to Prometheus that also feels like a more direct prequel to earlier films in the Alien series, given the emphasis on horror and creature terror.
The three main characters are a trio of gym junkies led by Daniel Lugo , who concocts a plan to abduct and then extort a wealthy businessman to obtain his fortune. This goes wrong, and a series of disastrous events naturally follow.
All three of the men are responsible, in some way or another, for what happens, and there’s therefore something very satisfying about seeing the tables turn on the lot of them. The fact they’re all brutal, evil, and/or weak-willed just increases the sense of karmic justice that’s felt throughout the film’s second half, with some of the more extreme scenes in Revenge being genuinely brutal, and not for the squeamish.
