Being a hero doesn\'t automatically make you likeable. Or interesting. Or even right.

Sometimes, we just can\'t help but root for the villain, and cross our fingers that they get the change to grind some do-gooder face into the dirt.

This almost inevitably leads to disappointment, but we can still dream, right?

Charlize Theron\'s evil queen had a tough time of it growing up, watching her mother murdered and being kidnapped. Her magical fantasy world doesn\'t seem too big on equal rights, so Queen Ravenna becomes a feminist icon standing against patriarchal tyranny.

Ok, so there\'s the draining other women of their beauty bit, but when it comes to charismatic leadership she wipes the floor with Kristen Stewart\'s Snow White, and she promises a truly fashion-forward future for the kingdom. Love live the queen.

2. Sheriff of Nottingham (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves)

Alan Rickman\'s Sheriff of Nottingham is the funny, sexy and cool guy that Kevin Costner\'s American-accented Robin of Loxley wishes he could be.

This was probably helped by the fact that Rickman wrote a lot of his best lines himself, with the help of Ruby Wax and pizza. We\'d have happily watched him put that spoon to good use on Robin and all his Merry Men.

Ian McKellen\'s Magneto lived through the Holocaust, so he has first-hand knowledge of the horrible things that can be done to minorities, and there is absolutely no denying that mankind has some horrible plans for the mutants. He tries to do something about it while Professor X dithers around and sends minors out to be killed.

And did we mention that he used to be Michael Fassbender when he was younger? What more do you want?

We\'ve already learned that a \'hero\' with a piss-poor British accent doesn\'t stand a chance against a truly charming villain, and nowhere is this better expressed than in Keanu Reeves\'s Jonathan Harker vs Gary Oldman\'s Dracula.

With Francis Ford Coppola adding an extra level of romance to the story, if we were Winona Ryder we know who we\'d have ridden off into the

Look Dorothy – the so-called \'Wicked\' Witch of the West just wants her dead sister\'s shoes back. The shoes that you looted from her corpse, incidentally, right after your house crushed her to death.

Maybe you should think about taking responsibility rather than adding murder-by-soapy-water to your ever-increasing list of crimes.

Keanu Reeves again, but it isn\'t his fault this time. In fact, his FBI agent Johnny Utah is as much in love with Patrick Swayze\'s dreamy, nature-loving and free-thinking Bodhi as the rest of us.

What\'s a few robbed bank registers between friends?

Highly educated, smooth, cultured, a great cook. Lecter is a match and an equal to Clarice who becomes ever more appealing as the two dance round their \'quid prod quo\' relationship.

It helps that in comparison to the other miscreants he\'s pretty much Mr Darcy – the cum-flinging Migs, the shin-suit wearing Buffalo Bill and in Hannibal, the truly repellent Mason Verger. It\'s no coincidence that he makes the perfect protagonist/antagonist for a spinoff show.

He\'s everything his alter ego wishes he was – brave, strong, a leader of men. Shame he\'s also a murderous revolutionary that\'s out of control. Ed Norton\'s narrator realises almost too late that his split personality has developed a life of his own – but luckily he\'s able to shoot himself in such a way that Tyler dies and he survives. Urgh. Dull.

At least Tyler was fun. And lest we forget, he\'s played by Brad Pitt, so there\'s also that.

Rutger Hauer\'s Roy Batty just wants a better (and longer) life for himself and his friends. He also has the soul of a poet and appreciates the value of human life more than Harrison Ford\'s ostensible hero, Deckard.

He even saves Deckhard\'s life and treats him to one of the most beautiful monologues in cinema history. His time with us was all too short...

Buddy \'Syndrome\' Pine was treated like crap by Mr Incredible when he was young – hardly the act of a noble superhero type.

And later, his \'evil\' plan is to make superpowers available to everyone in the world, thus breaking The Incredible family\'s monopoly on \'being special\'. Let\'s all take a step back and consider who the real villains are here.
