Think on this.
Underrated - People don't know your skills
Underappreciated - People know the skills, just for one reason or another, you don't get the recognition as the top choices.
That being said, my list for Top 5 under appreciated movie villians:
5) "Billy the Kid" William Wharton, The Green Mile (Sam Rockwell) - This dude was just a buck dude. He was funny as ? and just....CRAZY. Them pranks he played on the guards (? on one, the moon pie thing to Brutal)...hilarious.
4) Warden Samuel Norton, The Shawshank Redemption (Bob Gunton) - What makes him so cool as a villian is sthat he actually started out as a good soul in appearances, than started using the ? out of Andy as time went on...AND was caking up off of him, while quoting the Bible to boot.
3) Lex Luthor, Superman Returns (Kevin Spacey) - Look, I know the movie under-performed, but Spacey did his thing as Lex. He ? Superman UP.
2) Colonel Hans Landa, Inglorious Basterds (Christopher Waltz) - Cold, calculating ? . He carried this movie alot. And his detective skills, combined with his wit and then turning that ? to evil ? (especially in the beginning).....awesome. I know he won an Oscar, but he's still slept-on cause this movie ain't as mainstream as it should've been.
1) Anton Chigurh, No Country For Old Men (Javier Bardem) - Plain and simple, this nig was flat-out ruthless. Like a human Terminator, rolling up on people with the silencer shotty. Some cold ? what he did to Carson Wells (Woody Harelson)

Dude was ? INCREDIBLE. He is one of the few roles where I knew it was an Oscar Winning performance AS I was watching it -
I have only seen the movie once, and do not know the character's name off hand.
The genius villian from Watchmen. He set into motion everything, plotted out every course of action, and instead of letting the heroes talk him out of his plan, he had the countdown for his bombs set off before they even arrived, and detonated as they stood there. Essentially, he's the only bad guy I've seen whose plan worked. -
Christopher Walken is always a great villain but he plays two of the most underrated villains ever IMO, both named Max.
the first is Max Zorin in the James Bond flick A View To a ?
^^^ the scene where he hoses all his workers while laughing his ass off is GOAT ?
the second is Max Shreck in Batman Returns.
^^ he was the only real villain in the movie, creating and manipulating both Penguin and Catwoman while upstaging both with his hilarious dialog.
"Santa Claus, afraid not. I'm just a poor shmo, who just got lucky. So sue me if I want to give something back. I just wish I could hand out more than expensive bobbles. I wish I could hand out world peace, and unconditional love.... wrapped.. in a big bow." -

Ozymandias. That dude could FIGHT.
And he's not the first villian to "win". If you've ever seen Fallen, the spirit Denzel was fighting actually survived and won. -
another favorite of mine is De Niro's portrayal of Al Capone in Untouchables
-
zorg in the fith element
hans in die hard
tom sizemore in natural born killers -

this and Dark Knight
everytime dude was on screen he jus made me ucomfortable
"ah aha ha, wait for the cream" -
idk is this is generally underrated,

You have a point, though we do not know if he ever made it out of that forest in that body though. But you are correct though. -
Kevin Bacon as Sean Nokes in Sleepers

Can't Co-Sign 1 & 2..Them ? Are Probably The Most Lauded And Celebrated Villains In The Last Ten Years....They Both Won Oscars I Believe For Those Roles -

Naw, "? " the demon made it out, in the body of a cat.
Remember in the beginning he says "I wanna tell you about the time I almost died"....meaning Denzel almost killed him but he survived at the last second and won. -
I know it may not be underappreciated but Brad Pitt as Jesse James dude literally had boys shook when he came for a visit. That scene with Casey Affleck when he put the knife to the throat and shook him up and then start laughing.
