10 Hilariously Unthreatening Movie Villains
7. Jafar - Aladdin
Who's the greatest Disney villain of them all? Hades, Scar, Cruella de Vil, Ursula, Gaston; there are arguments to be made for all of them. At the very top of the list is Aladdin's Jafar - one of the most iconic and distinctive animated villains of all time. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for his live action counterpart - as portrayed by Marwan Kenzari, in the 2019 remake.
Poor Kenzari is completely miscast as Jafar, lacking so much as a moustache to twirl in evil. Much of the blame has to fall at the filmmakers' feet - doing away with the sneering, snarling Jafar and watering down his personality so much that the man is barely even recognisable. There's no charm; no flair; no palpable sense of menace at all. His parrot doesn't even talk.
Sure, this is a more subtle villain for a different medium (not to mention one which has been updated for modern audiences) - but there's no excuse for making letting him be so boring.
