Movie Characters

I was watching the Phantom Menace yesterday, and i had truly forgot what a terrible character Jar Jar Binks was.

so whats your favourite and least favourite Movie Character?

Favourite: the guy Liam Neeson plays in "Taken"

Least: Jar Jar Binks. without a shadow of a doubt.

Haha, Jar Jar is seriously annoying, but then the whole film is poor anyway. Not a big SW fan mind you. Neeson is great in that film.

Favorite: Ordell Roby (Sam Jackson in Jackie Brown) - so cool.

Least (not because of being annoying, but because I wanted him to meet his end from the start): Tim Roth's character in Rob Roy - which actually shows how good Roth was.

Favorite: Either Kaiser Soze or Tyler Durden - Probably Kaiser Soze.

Least Favorite: Jar Jar and the Korean Caricatures were annoying. Otherwise the rest of that movie was alright. I may have to go with the twin ghetto robots in Transformers 2.

Good choices, both! I hate those robots, ruined the film.

Same, i'm not big on SW. just put it on cause i got a bit bored.

Liam Neeson is a great actor, but only in a few areas; typically one where he has alot of power or strength.

im shamed to say I have not seen either Jackie brown or Rob Roy, i will get on it soon.

agreed on the robots thing, but i think i was able to ignore them

Favorite: Raymond Babbitt

Least Favorite: Caledon 'Cal' Hockley

Oh Jackie Brown is an awesome film. You must see it asap.
Rob Roy too really, and Neeson again is excellent in it.

I'll get it watched soon. when i have a bit more money to throw around... unless one of my friends has it.

i watched Contact yesterday (largely due to Doug b's "guess what i am watching" thread) and thoroughly enjoyed it. great soundtrack on that film aswell.

Yep agreed its a great film but then Elmore Leonard is one of those rare writers who work translate perfectly to screen.

I really think that this question needs to have an option for multiple answers, based on movie genre. After all, your prerequisites for liking or disliking a character are based upon many different things. And fiction/fantasy vs non fiction etc.. have a different criteria set when building upon said characters.

That said... This is a very difficult question! For instance, while I hate Jar Jar to death... I didn't like the movie enough to even consider using it as an example. I'd first have to like a movie, and then name a character who ruined it for me. And man... there are just SO many movies to consider!

ahah okay doug, in terms of sci-fi films (as i took star wars) what is you least favourite?
