Not exact matches
The aliens are
clearly bad, but it's the
characters, themes of good and
evil, the manipulation of the media and what humanity really is that you'll want to return to.
A good example: I've been playing a videogame of late with a combination Greek / fantasy pantheon in which the player -
character is a very faithful servant of a particular goddess, knows other gods exist (because killing them / beating them up is the main plot of the game), and winds up with an ally who can
clearly see that the gods exist but only cares about following himself — so there's a mix there of misotheism with a few of the gods (they are there, but they're
evil), faithful worship (serving a good goddess), and nay theism («You gods are selfish jerks, I'm going my own way!»).
DiCaprio

evil character - when he sneers with stained, grotty teeth it's as unsettling as anything else in Django Unchained.

clearly relishing the
evil their
characters do.
In a rather gutsy move, Akhtar doesn't take the easy way out in bowing to the
character's popularity and soften Don into a more palatable «antihero»; Don remains gleefully, unrepentantly
evil (and retains his fondness for Tom and Jerry cartoons), making for a rather refreshing villain's perspective - driven actioner, and a fiercely energized Khan
clearly relishes this latest opportunity to break away from his trademark roguish romantic hero persona.
Just as Nicole Kidman
clearly relished camping it up as the
evil taxidermist hunting Paddington in the first film, Hugh Grant wallows flamboyantly in this
character's delusional theatricality.
Characters — main and supporting — die throughout; and even if the endings are somewhat hopeful, they are far from happy given that there is
clearly a greater, unchallenged
evil that has been playing puppet master the whole time.
The game also suffers from Grand Theft Auto IV syndrome, where the player
character murders literally thousands of zombies but then gets remorseful about killing humans who were
clearly evil bastards.
