When it comes to determining the best movie villain of all time, there really is no competition. Darth Vader of the “Star Wars” movie franchise is the single most diabolical movie villain to ever hit the big screen. If you need proof, you only need to look at “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” where the first thing that Anakin Skywalker does after he becomes Darth Vader is to slaughter a temple full of children.Never heard of this before? Get up to speed here.

From the moment that Darth Vader first appears in “Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope” (1977), he looks like the most evil villain of all time. He tortures innocent people to find out information and then kills them when he gets an answer he does not like. He tries to choke out a member of his own organization and helps Grand Moff Tarkin to destroy an entire planet just to make a point.

The final touch that helps to create the evil character of Darth Vader is the perfect voice of James Earl Jones. No other voice could have conveyed the depth of Vader’s evil and the way in which he enjoyed torturing innocent people like that deep, distinctive voice of James Earl Jones.
