In movies, do you root for the good guy or the bad guy?
 
I admit I love villains. They have more freedom of action. I admire the way they do whatever the hell they want. And what fun would a movie be without a really evil bad guy?

But I also have a deep sense of justice. So in the end, I want to see a badass, larger-than-life, ass-kicking, name taking good guy thrash the living shit out of the villain.

Vigilante. best of both worlds. he's a good guy but he's going against the rules to provide justice so he's a bad guy too.

Agreed. V(from the comic and movie) is a badass.

I also love vigilantes' or just the guy that bends or breaks the rules while still being the good guy.

Good answer. The vigilante. The loner. The amoral hero who seems caught in circumstances beyond their control.

...

But, honestly, it depends on the movie and the characters. Spiderman 3, for example. I cheered for the bad guys. Because all of the good guys were lame.

Usually I root for the good guy.

I love the everyman. The ones that aren't necessarily "Good" or "Bad," but are heroes on a more microcosmic level.

Example: The Dude of Big Lebowski and Lester Burnam of American Beauty. Two of my all-time favorite everymen.

I wasn't sure who to root for in the Phantom of the Opera because the Phantom was kick ass and a bad guy but he obviously loved Christine and Raoul was a good guy and loved her aswell but was kind of a pompous ass about the Phantom. So they were both good guys and bad guys to me.
