Blackheart (Ghost Rider)

2007’s Ghost Rider was one of the poorest comic book movies of recent times – and that’s thanks in no small part to the fact that it had one of the least convincing villains in movie history.

The usually decent Wes Bentley played that villain – none other than the demonic son of the devil himself, Blackheart – but he was truly awful. Rather than the reality-warping evil monster from the comic books, he came across as a wimpy and emotional teenager full of angst!

One of the worst things about him was his dialogue. It wasn’t inherently awful, but it tried to portray the character as sinister when he simply wasn’t at all frightening. Here are some examples of that:

Blackheart: “There’s an old saying, don’t raise more demons than you can lay down. My father raised one too many.”

Blackheart: “My name is Legion. For we are many!”

Blackheart: “Your Penance stare won’t work on me. I’ve no soul to burn!”
