The SS officer that ran the concentration camp in Schindler’s List. I really hated that guy.

Worst human being ever portrayed in a move:

Commandant Amon Goeth

[Clemenza]

Sandra Bullock's character in "The Blind Side."

Atticus Fnch

Julia Roberts as anything.

General Woundwort in Watership Down.

Norman Bates in Psycho.

Michael, Duke of Strelsau in The Prisoner of Zenda.

[JouleZ]

Ray Liotta in any movie.

Sean Penn in every movie.

Edward Norton, Jr. He’s just scary.

Do you mean characters whom the writers INTENDED for us to hate, or characters whom we hate even though the writers intended otherwise? I’ll throw out some of each.

(Can’t say for sure these are THE top ones, but they are the first to come to mind)

INTENDED TO BE HATED
Joffrey Baratheon
Dolores Umbridge
Wormtongue, Saruman
O’Brien (1984)
Scar (The Lion King)

UNINTENDED BUT HATED
Jar-Jar Binks, Anakin Skywalker in all three prequels
Hmmm, I can’t think offhand of any more characters whom I hated and whom the writers didn’t WANT me to hate.
