Bummer.

Scarecrow in Batman Begins. They developed the character really well visually, then they only had him on screen for 2 minutes or so (Not Dr. Crane, just Scarecrow.)

Superman- Superman Returns, for a superman movie there really wasnt very much superman momments, and the ones that did shocase superman were basically scenes recycled from the original

X-men3- All of the x-men aside from storm and wolverine in. Seriously, that movie should have been called Wolverine and storm. I guess this was the least of this movies problems though

Jennifer Jason Leigh in Palindromes, she played one of the better versions of the character for me, and she didn't get a lot of time on screen.

Albert Wesker got wasn't even in the movies and he caused every problem that happened in Resident Evil

the aliens and predator in aliens vs predator

Not a favourite character, but one of my favourite actress. Julie Christie's roles in troy(thetis) and harry potter and the prisionar of azkaban(madame rosmerta) could be longer, not only a few minutes.

Yeah Dr Crane could have been better developed.Also now that someone else mentioned it,most the xmen characters from the x-men movies.The movie is called XMEN not Wolverine for god sakes!!! 😠 Also since someone else mentioned it,Boba Fett should have been in in Jedi more,damn Lucas for killing him off so soon!!!!! 😠

I do disagree with these two points. These are both supporting characters, and although Crane has a place in the plot of Batman Begins, you can't tread too far away from the plot, or it just won't sit well with the audience. You have to remember that it's Bruce Wayne's story we are following, not the Scarecrow's, and I felt the Scarecrow was very well represented. I feel the same way aout Boba Fett; a very interesting character, but Return of the Jedi isnt his story.

However, I definetly agree with the X-Men point, but not in a way that would damage the plot.

Boba Fett.

The Gimp in Pulp Fiction. no2

I will think up more as I go along but definately for me, the number one would be Darth Maul.

He MADE that movie for me which is my favorite Star Wars (yeah, I know..... 😮 )

Also, Boromir in Lord of the Rings.

Not enough of Colossus in X men and not enough Juggernaut/Sabertooth.

More later.

If somewhere already posted, sorry. But, I didnt find any.

I have to argee with you with that.Darth Maul did have a very little part and Binks had alot.How is that fair?Maul is so much better and have the best lines I thought anyway!I have no idea why movies do that it is so annoying.jm 😠

Maybe Maul could have been a decent character if so. I've just rolled my eyes at Darth Maul since I first saw the Phantom Menace, so over the top, yet predictable to breathe some blood into the PT, and it set the pattern for the whole trilogy; style over content.

Boromir obviously
Zorg from the fifth element
Sirius black in the fourth potter movie but hopefully 5 compensates for it

I knew the phantom menace would suck when i first saw Darth Maul.He was the dumbest thing about that movie,he looked like one of those rock stars from KISS.not at all a believeable villian.BOTH maul and jar jar were the worst things about that movie.
