Another Top 10 Movie Villains with Understandable Motivations

We hate to admit it, but these characters kind of have a point. For this list, we’ll be looking at even more big screen villains with understandable motivations and complex back stories. We’ll be excluding animated baddies, as that list already exists, but we will be including secondary, or even tertiary, antagonists. Point is, they don’t have to be the primary villain to earn themselves a spot. Our countdown will include villains from films such as “The Dark Knight” (2008) , “The Matrix” (1999) and “Watchmen” (2009). Which villain do YOU think had the most understandable motivation? Let us know in the comments!
