12 Dumbest Comic Book Movie Characters

4. Curt Connors - The Amazing Spider-Man

Yes, Dr. Curt Connors is a brilliant scientist. However, Rhys Ifans' version of the character from The Amazing Spider-Man, is a little lacking in common sense. It€™s hard to deny that his villainous plan - which consists of turning New York citizens into Lizards for no apparent reason - isn't exactly the stuff of genius.

Connors also dishes out stupidly transparent dialogue straight to Peter Parker's face. Stuff like, €œthere€™s rumour of a new species in New York [€] it can be aggressive, if threatened.€™ He could only be more obvious he had a tail poking out of his lab coat.

Again, though, it€™s in the really tiny details that his true stupidity shines through€

Stupidest moment: Curt Connors leaves a video running in his secret lab that explains his whole plan. It has a video narration, info-graphics and everything. He might as well have just handed himself into the police there and then.
