We love the movie heroes. Really, we do. We love it when they finally defeat their enemies, even with the odds stacked against them. We love it when good triumphs over evil and we can feel that justice has been served. The credits roll and we can go on our way, safe in the knowledge that the heroes always win.
But let's be honest. As much as we love the macho protagonists and the unsung heroes, there's something about villains, that just speaks to us on a darker level. We're talking about the heavies, the bad boys, the villains with evil on their minds. The characters set on destruction and mayhem excite us with their rule-breaking. Don't they always seem to have more fun than anyone else? Maybe we admire them because they don't seem to care what others think about them at all. Maybe we just love that they aren't afraid to go against the grain? Whatever it is, bad boys get our pulses racing and without them, movies just wouldn't be the same!
Today we want to see how well you know the bad boys of film and tv. Let's see if you can match these pictures to the right movie character!
