I do sometimes. Like I wanted the humans to win in Avatar just because they had the cool technological stuff.

I'm not sure that would count, since Kira isn't really the villain; just an anti-hero. Also, yes.

More often than not, I cheer for the bad guy.

Scoreboard says that's one more for the bad guys.

I usually cheer for the bad guys when the good guys are so cheesy and stupid, but still manage with luck to beat the bad guys who have all the cool tech and powers.

I root for the villains to win if the heroes are corny and cliche, like "good guys" in Avatar. The bad guys didn't have any more depth, but I found them amusing, at least.

It wasn't a bad movie, though. I enjoyed it.

I love the concept of the anti-hero, so yes.

I also love an underdog, if they happen to be both, then I consider the other guys the bad guys.

almost always,and i'm guessing it has more things to do with lameness of the good guys than coolness of the bad ones.

It happens a lot. Some bad buys are much more interesting than the good guys they're trying to defeat.

Not just on movies also with tv shows, I will cheer to the opposing side if they are cool looking. Also Im not sure why we be so black and white with characters we see. They are often called good or bad, good or evil, rather then two sides with different idea and agendas that dont meet eye to eye.

Same. I was rooting for the Joker the entire time. I also was rooting for the Bad-bad guy in Takers( There is the good, the better-bad, and the badder-bad.)

Only when the bad guy is really cool, or has a legit reason to be evil.

Sometimes, yeah. When the good guys are annoying and/or the bad guy is just too fun to watch. Can't remember which movies specifically but I seem to want to want the bad guys to win when the main heroes are little children and kids. :P

I always root for the baddies. I made a list of movies where the bad guys won because I got so tired of the good guys winning for stupid reasons (Avatar when the planet "called" the animals. I mean the bomb was about to fall onto the damn tree.
