Truly, I do not think that there is an Earthly pure good and an Earthly pure bad. While most of us believe that everyone is either completely good or completely bad, it is tough for us to be just one thing.
However, the extremes of good and evil are what we like to use to set each other apart from one another; and to make a good movie plot. If the Queen in Snow White was a "moderate", shall we say, there wouldn't be much of a story, would there be? By that same token, if Superman was just an okay person and Lex Luthor was just a mildly bad person, there would have never been a single movie made, I guarantee it. There has to be extremes.
But, in reality, are there these set-in-stone extremes? Without getting on my religious spiel and explaining the contrary, there is not a completely good and completely evil on this Earth. Are some people really good? Sure. Are some people really bad? Of course. But does each one exhibit behaviors of the other? Absolutely.
No human is perfect. We all have our good sides and our bad sides; some just have more lopsided proportions. And yes, the Dark Side is fun to think about and watch on a movie, but I think it is silly to believe that everyone is just one kind of person.
