The obvious choice here is Avatar. There's actually quite a lot of hate for that movie...more than you think. But considering how much money it made, it still counts in the "everybody loves it" category. But yeah, it's over-rated, the acting was all sub-par, with the exception of Zoe Saldana (Hell even Sigourney-Fucking Ripley-Weaver didn't even try), the plot was full of cliche's, the characters were uninteresting slabs of wood, it ran waaay too fucking long, and the dialogue was cheesy as fuck ("We're not in Kansas anymore!" Really, James Cameron?) I get the appeal of it, but that's like getting the appeal of slamming your face into a brick wall. The only reason is because you're in a room full of idiots.
Rosemary's Baby. Okay I didn't hate it, but damn is it over-rated. I just don't believe it's aged well. Probably worked in the 60s or 70s or whenever it came out. Mia Farrow was great in it though...
Napoleon Dynamite. Fuck this movie. Really, what the hell kind of comedy is this. I mean, I thought The Hangover was actually kinda over-rated, but I actually understand the appeal of that, and there were at least a fair amount of funny bits in it. But this is just an abomination of all things comedy and cinema in general. Fuck the people who quote it, fuck the people who made it, fuck Jon Heder, fuck this movie. Hate it with a passion.
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Just like Avatar there is plenty of hate for it, but the number of people who like it outweigh the high amount of hate for it, which is something, because this movie is fuckin' stupid. I don't mind a dumb-fun, turn-off-your-brain action film, but this was just too much. Why the hell did they actually try focusing on the plot in this type of movie? Why is it that it feels so convoluted, when there isn't really much of a plot to begin with? Why should we care about Shia TheBeef and Megan Fox? Speaking of Megan Fox, why did that Joe Pesci robot hump Megan Fox's leg? Speaking of the Joe Pesci robot, WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A JOE PESCI ROBOT?!?! Speaking of the robots, why the hell do they look so convoluted and messy? Why does Michael Bay keep cutting and shaking the camera? Why are there racial stereotype robots? Why do people think they're funny? Why can Transformers teleport? Why was there a transformer that looked like a college student that was a total slut? Why the...GAAHHH!! Why did I even bother trying to insert logic in a Michael Bay movie?
All of Judd Apatow's films with the exception of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I dunno why. I don't absolutely hate any of them, but I just never really found any of them all that funny nor all that heart-warming, with, of course, the exception of Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Donnie Darko. Again, I don't absolutely hate it, but unlike the other films where I've said that, I don't think it's anywhere near "meh" territory, even. Richard Kelly just feels like a wannabe David Lynch. The twist ending was kinda neat I guess, but for the most part, this movie really bored me.
Primer. Okay, I get it. It's smart. Really smart. But too smart for it's own good. A smart film doesn't equal a good one. The acting was just so wooden it put me to sleep, and it was really hard to figure out what the hell was going on until I watched it a second time. I regretted that second viewing, because although certain things were clearer for me, it still didn't change the fact that it was a pretty boring movie.
The Expendables. Just watch MovieBob's review, because I don't wanna end up copying him word-for-word.
The Human Centipede: First Sequence. Okay, it was kinda gross, but CMON!! It's nowhere near the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. Watch fucking Martyrs, Frontier(s), the final scene in Inside, Irreversible, Antichrist (Even if it is utterly pretentious as fuck), if you want a disgusting film. Hell I thought The Wrestler was harder to watch than that movie. And without the "poo" factor, it's just an awful, cheesy B-horror movie with lots of stupid, stupid characters, and bad acting, with the exception of Dieter Laser, who was bad, but fun in a Nic Cage kind of way.
Antichrist. Okay, so there is a half-and-half debate on this one, but for the most part, most of the critics I like, such as Roger Ebert and shit, gave it positive reviews. It is by and far, one of the most pretentious movie ever made. One of my favorite movies of all time is The Fountain, but I'm well aware of how pretentious it is. Antichrist just makes The Fountain look like Braveheart by comparison, because it is seriously pretentious as fuck. I know people overuse that word a lot, but it really is. I don't care if you showed Willem Dafoe's erect penis cum blood because it symbolized something, Lars von Trier, because no matter what it represents, you still showed Willem Dafoe's erect penis cum blood, and that's not fucking cool.
The Limits of Control. Also one of the most pretentious films ever made. Except instead of having the stupid, but at least interesting, gross-factor of Antichrist, it just felt like NOTHING was happening. I could already see art-house snobs with berets on their heads just nodding meaningfully at each other watching this film and going like "Oh, but all of the different people he talks to are all symbolic of stuff like art, and film, and literature, and stuff, man. You're just not deep enough man." I DON'T FUCKING CARE! Your movie is boring. Nothing of value happens in this movie. The fact that this is considered a "thriller" made me want to choke something. Even Roger Ebert gave this film half-a-star out of four, and he actually liked Antichrist.
...wow, that was a long list...
That is all.
