A MOVIE FEATURING YOUR FAVORITE VILLAIN

Well my favorite villain has to be Hans Gruber from Die Hard. He was just such a great villain. First off, he was played by Alan Rickman, who does evil so very well. Gruber emitted a classiness you wouldn't expect from other villains. He read about Asian Dawn in Time. He was German, and though that really has nothing to do with it, it seems that European villains are the classiest. I mean, think about any villain that was American. They did things the American way by getting into people's faces and had that shoot-first-ask-later kind of attitude. Asian villains always seemed to be either North Korean or part of a gang. There are very few smart Asian villains. They also always knew some sort of martial arts, but were never good enough to beat the protagonist. What was so great about Hans Gruber is that he had a brilliant plan (SPOILERS!). He affiliated himself with a known extremist organization and masked the entire Nakatomi hostage situation as a terror attack, instead of one of the most beautifully planned heists. He never abused the power of the gun, killing only two people, and only because he had too. Sure he was going to explode the roof of the building, but it was all for the charade. Gruber suffered from a case of wrong-place-wrong-time when dealing with the coolest action hero of all, John McClane. Without McClane, this heist goes down perfectly (he even incorporates action from the FBI into the plot). He even planned it so that he would not be sought after. No one ever thinks about the aftermath of the plot, only the plot itself. He considered every single possibility. Hans Gruber was one of the smartest and most meticulous villain of all time. Too bad he died one of the worst deaths of all time. He was dropped about 40 or so stories and then splattered on the ground. His expression as he realized his demise though was perfect. That instant moment where you realize that everything was so perfect except for that one guy who just had to break up the party.
