You Honestly Felt Bad For This Character

[Raffine]

Several of the classic monster easily fit into this category:

The Frankenstein Monster
Larry Talbot aka The Wolf Man (and almost any other monster character played by Lon Chaney, Jr.)
The Phantom of the Opera
Dr. Jekyll (Mr. Hyde - not so much)
The Creature from the Black Lagoon

And King Kong, naturally.

Cheryl, the tree rape victim, in THE EVIL DEAD.  I definitely feel bad for her.

Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump

[JaseSF]

Godzilla and Dr. Serizawa in Gojira (1954)

[Leah]

Commander Vince Elliott in The Green Slime because he is trying to gain back his gal from this prick of a main character, Commander Jack Rankin!

Evil in FRIGHT NIGHT

[Kooshmeister]

Edmond Delhurst in Food of the Gods II. Yuck. Just yuck.

Tetsuo's girlfriend in Akira.  She got beaten up, possibly raped, treated like crap by everyone, then -- then -- SHE GETS CRUSHED TO DEATH!

That was one of the first times I ever said "f**k you, movie."

Most people don't like anime for good reason, but Akira (subbed or the original dubb-the new dub is unbearable) is still recommended to everyone.

Everyone.

Come to think of it I feel sorry for EVERYONE in that movie.

Most people don't like anime for good reason, but Akira (subbed or the original dubb-the new dub is unbearable) is still recommended to everyone.

I thought it sucked.  From a technical standpoint, the animation is excellent.  Some of the music is good.  However, I never could manage to give a rat's ass about Tetsuo, Kaneda, or any of the other characters ('cept Tetsuo's girlfriend) whose names I can't remember.  It's hard to like a movie when you don't care about anyone in it or what's going on.

I guess Akira is one of those "experience" movies, which have never appealed to me at all.

While I have mixed feelings about the movie itself, I definitely felt sorry for Lawrence in the latest version of THE WOLFMAN
