3. Denethor (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King)
Denethor (John Noble) easily wins worst father award of the year, as I assume you all know Boromir (Sean Bean) was gunned down (shot with an arrow, but if it was present day it would have been a bullet) by Lurtz. Denethor, being the douche that he is, likes to remind Faramir that it should have been him in his brother's place. I understand that you lost your son and you're bitter, but you've still got another one, so you would imagine you would love them unconditionally, but no, Denethor sends Faramir and a bunch of other soldiers to their deaths, in a nutshell. Despite the bombardment of arrows, Faramir somehow survives and is delivered back to Gondor like some sort of UPS parcel, so Denethor should be pretty happy that his only son survived, right? Wrong. He decides that he will burn both himself and Faramir, however, he doesnt succeed; Gandalf comes in and kicks some ass. Its also worth a note that he eats like a pig; next time you watch it, look out for the scene where Pippin is singing and he eats the tomato. Its gross.
