15 Great Movie Villains Who Totally Stole The Show

6. Alec 'Janus' Trevelyan - Goldeneye

MGM

I could simply point out that Alec Trevelyan is played by Sean Bean and that would be sufficient call it a day. Simply put, Bean€™'s turn as Trevelyan managed to stand out in a film revolving around evil Russians, a bitchin€™ stealth helicopter and Famke Jannsen crushing people between her thighs.

Goldeneye treated audiences to a brief glimpse of two suave MI6 agents working together in the field, eliciting screams of glee from men and women alike. It was not to last though as 006 is seemingly executed by General Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov a gaunt Russian skeleton in a uniform two sizes too big. Fans of Bean's mortality were in for a treat though as this is only the first of what I€™'d calculate to be three on-screen deaths during Pierce Brosnan'€™s debut outing as 007.

After secretly causing Bond trouble under the assumed name 'Janus' throughout the film, Alec reappears in a freaking graveyard to tell 007 that he'€™s evil. That's classy stuff right there. Their final showdown takes place high above a large satellite dish and ends with the former 006 falling from such a height that he would have disintegrated on impact if the scriptwriter didn'€™t hate his character so much. Instead he clings to enough life to scream as the entire satellite apparatus falls on his head.

No matter how awesome Alec Trevelyan was or how needlessly elaborate his plans, Goldeneye proves that all it takes is an angry, drunk sex addict to bring it all tumbling down.
