CBR's 10 Movies With Awesome Side Characters, but a Terrible Protagonist

"A film's protagonist is typically the character the audience spends the most time with, as they are usually the central character of the film, and the one who drives the action. As a result, standard practice is to make the protagonist the most entertaining, enjoyable, and otherwise good-to-watch character, with the side characters existing to complement them. Filmmakers don't always achieve this. For any number of reasons, from writing and acting to directing, a movie's protagonist can sometimes miss the mark. This doesn't always reflect on the side characters of a film, resulting in movies where the character the audience should typically like most is disliked, but other characters are enjoyed." - cbr.com
