Okay, this is just my opinion but I was extremely disappointed that Hans was the villian of Frozen. Everybody says he took the Gaston-route and I have nothing against that but I think it's just lame if they show that the character is seriously nice and charming at the beginning and makes a major turn in the last ten minutes.

There were moments where Hans didn't have to conceal his true goals that much: For example after Anna went to the coronation and he stayed behind (still stared after her with a goofy smile after she went) or the moment where Elsa was fighting those thugs and he told her, she shouldn't become a monster and saved her from that one guy who wanted to shoot her. I mean seriously... if his plan was to kill Elsa then why not let her kill those other guys, what would've make her look even more evil, or at least let her get shot by that one guy. No one could've blamed him for that! But all his facial expressions, emotions and his body movements were still "good" to deceive the viewer. That just makes the character unbelievable for me - if you know what I mean.

So in my opinion he could've been no villain at all but it still would've been ok for me if Hans did not love Anna and did want to marry her just for being recognized by his brothers and marrying into the Arendelle royalty. So that means his body language and facial expressions could've just stayed the same until the library. At that library scene he could've kissed her without success or just tell her that he doesn't love her. But I'd find it more believable if he wouldn't be that murderous and would've just told Anna that she is a nice girl and all but all he wanted was to be recognized by his brothers (or being part of that royal family) and that he's sorry that he can't help her or something like that. The storyline could've continued as it did... for example Hans could've left the room - maybe because he wanted to search some other help or had to do something different - and Olaf could've come in and tell about Kristoff. Or even Hans alone or with Olaf together could've helped Anna to get outside the room and try to reach Kristoff. And one of the Duke's thugs could've tried to kill Elsa in that scene where Anna sacrificed herself.

Otherwise I have no problems with those kind of deceiving villains like Lotso or King Candy.. as long as they don't behave unrealistic while they are alone just for the sake of deceiving the viewer (who shouldn't even exist from the character's point of view). Both Lotso and King Candy gave hints via expressions and body language when there was no character that needed to be deceived. But it was different with Hans and that's why I was really disappointed that he made such a big turn and was such a murderous villain out of nowhere.
