There's something brilliantly cathartic about hating on certain movie characters, especially when the character in question is a total a*shole and has been created entirely to serve that purpose. Our inherent desire to watch said character meet their comeuppance at the hands of the protagonist regularly offers us with a welcomed dose of the "aw, yeahs" - we freakin' love it!
