but now you're giving me second thoughts. I will, just to connect the dots.
Absolute agreement on the evil "Dr. Ock". Antagonists are more important than heroes---and its harder to make a "good" one. He has to be evil, yes, but it's much more effective if some part of him is likeable or, at least, admirable (thinking of the excellent Alan Rickman in "Die Hard.").
Follow Ups:
Tin,The problem with the original is that Willem Dafoe is a lousy bad guy. He's not sympathetic, charming, nor cool. The other issue is that Kirsten Dunst is a terrible actress.
Alfred Molina is a good guy, who loses control due to a lack of humility.
Alan Rickman was incredible in "Die Hard". Bruce Willis' lines are completely forgettable in comparison. The manner in which Hans Gruber takes control, loses control, gets it back, and proves to be a coward was the best part of the film.
I always root for the bad guy with minor exceptions.

believe it's the Die Hard guy.
The movie almost is sunk by a guy I assume is Ben Kingsley's son. He is terribly "cute." Too terribly...
