I can't expect everybody to get Sheens Genius on the silver screen. That's why they made "Toy Story"!:p

It has to do, per MY criteria (and possibly Scott's) with the strategy employed by the antagonist of the movie.
And, like Ken said, I thought he was the good guy....

In my eyes also, he was a good guy. But what dictates a bad guy? You not liking him? Good guys are bad guys too. Show me how your guy was worse.

Got all your guys beat -- the Terminator.
Ruthless, inhuman, nearly unstoppable, and quotable too!

Scott originally used the word VILLAIN: A dramatic or fictional character who is typically at odds with the hero.
Neither of us used the word WORST; we both used the word BEST.
Just for the heck of it, name some "good guys" who are regarded as "bad guys." I can think of "bad guys" who are regarded as "good guys" (like Porter).

Nope, good guys do bad things too. How was Hans, better then "The Outlaw".

Josey Wales was more of an antihero badass. He wasn't out there killing nuns and children, he was killing other badasses (I think, It's been awhile since I saw it) for society's benefit. Gruber was going to kill 100 people just for money, much more despicable.
