10 Terrible Movie Super Villains Which Deserve Another Attempt
10. Rhino
Spider-Man has one of the most interesting and colourful rogues' galleries in all of comic books, and with a total of seven movies over three separate iterations of the character, there's bound to have been at least one of the webslinger's nemeses done wrong.
Rhino's inclusion in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a strange one. Something of a throwaway cameo intended to set up a sequel to Andrew Garfield's unimpressive sophomore effort, Rhino first appears in non-Rhino form during a failed heist, is apprehended by Spider-Man, then later reappears at the very end of the movie in an effort to inspire some excitement for a sequel.
There were a few problems with this iteration of Rhino, the largest of which can be forgiven. The villain's remarkably brief appearance was intended to serve only as a teaser to his inclusion in a Sinister Six follow-up movie, which ultimately never came to fruition.
The use of a huge, lumbering suit of mechanical armour took much more creative license than it should have, but at least it was in keeping with the tone of the movie. The awful Russian accent that even Rhino actor Paul Giamatti openly dubbed as "hammy"? That was truly unforgivable.
Rhino deserves another shot in the MCU, and hopefully next time around he'll actually be Rhino-eque instead of just a shiny walking tank.
