E.T. is annoying.
Kick-Ass sucked ass.
Aaaaand Blade Runner. Somebody tell me, what is good about it? It has no redeeming qualities. No action, no real romance, no Matrix-style mindfuck, the plot was thin and slow, the setting was bland and dull... It had real possibility to be thought-provoking and intellectual since it was modeled after Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but instead they lumped the characters into stereotypical "good guy, bad guy" roles. I'd like to say Harrison Ford is the redeeming quality, but he just ropes you in to watching the awful movie in the first place. How on Earth did Blade Runner become THE sci-fi classic?

There are quite a lot, but to name a few;
The Social Network- it seems everyone liked this thing and I felt like I wasted 2 hours of my life I could've been gaming...wait
Napleon Dynamite- Everyone liked it, I didn't see anything funny. It didn't help that I also had to listen to my classmates quote...every...single...line from the movie.
The Godfather- there, I've said it. Boring and didn't see anything to it.
Scarface- How this gained such a following I'll never know. There was just something..."eh" about the whole thing.
Passion of the Christ- I was pressured into seeing this by friends and family who wanted me to change my beliefs. It was just a torture porn, plain and simple.

Have to agree with original poster. Avatar. James Cameron's greatest movie, my ass. It was almost scene for scene Dances with Wolves, the cinematography was too fast for a 3D format, and not to mention the entire final battle was in REAL TIME. Twenty minutes of fighting and blowing things up. It's almost as bad as a Michael Bay movie.
No wait, Michael Bay is worse. He messed with Freddie and Jason, therefore he must die.

Well, Scott Pilgrim was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It was bad, then the scene with the Vegan ex boyfriend just... fucked it. Literally half the people in the cinema I was in walked out :S. And yet, it's rated as a fantastic movie? I don't get it :S
The Kill Bill movies were fucking abominable. The only parts of that movie that didn't suck were David Carradine and Pai Mei.
Step Brothers, Beerfest and Super Troopers are the three major offenders in my book.
They have lots of lines to grab for quotes, but it doesn't have anything going for it.

Napoleon Dynamite: there were two brief scenes I found amusing. They were not worth sitting through that crappy, crappy movie.
300: I hated the faux bravado, the phony video-game-looking action scenes, all the stupid political BS that wasn't in the comic, and Gerard Butler. I just haven't liked a thing he's done. Except How to Train Your Dragon.
Anything with Sam Worthington. I don't know why he keeps getting cast in huge tentpole pictures, the man doesn't seem capable of emoting.
The Expendables: Mostly because it had all the ingredients it needed to be a kickass film, and executed them horribly. And I got my hopes up because Stallone's finales to the Rocky and Rambo series were so well-done.

I guess you had to grow up with it. That was one of the first movies I ever saw and I've always been into that kind of stuff, so I've always loved that movie, but I see where you're coming from.CombiBlood said:
As for me, there isn't really a movie I've seen that I could justify with a lot of rage that went against popular opinion. Every movie I hate, I hate for a reason, and so do a bunch of other people.
Perhaps its a stretch, but since I go to school with a bunch of hillbillys in The Middle Of Nowhere, Texas, WAY too many of them liked The Other Guys, and I thought that that film was an abomination. I never was a Will Ferrell fan, but after that, I even refuse to see Megamind...I just couldn't stand it, the only reason I didn't walk out on it was because I needed to do a review on it for the school newspaper...
2 hours of my life wasted...at least I saw it at the local outdoor cinema, so I got the edited version...
Definitely, Napolean Dynamite. Heard the hype, was ultimately peer-pressured into watching it, concluded that it was worse than 90% of the Uwe Bol catalogue, and reported my findings to my "friends".
"Oh, you have to watch it more than once!" They crowed.
To which I replied, "If I get robbed by a hooker, I'm not going to go back to the same hooker and ask if we can try again and hope that the result isn't the same."
Dumbfounded stares were about the only reply that I got.

While I didn't hate it, I didn't see what is so awesome about Inception. It was a very good heist/action movie, but it wasn't mind blowing in any manner and I feel it's patronizing when people talk about how clever it was or how you have to watch it several times to understand it.
It and District 9 (which I still enjoyed) were both good solid movies, but nowhere near as awesome as everyon says, their greatest success was coming out when there was nothing but dross to make them seem better.

Another movie I disliked was Step Brothers....it's stupid and full of stuff that is just plain...ugh I really do hate Man-Child movies....well there are exceptions like Old School.
Donnie Darko
Star Wars: Episode 6. Give me Jar Jar before dancing teddy bears ANY DAY. No, I'm not trolling. I genuinely feel this way. Shut up and leave me alone about it.
