What movies do you hate the most, and why? If there is one movie that I truly despise, it would be October Sky. I. Seriously. Hate. This. Movie.
I don't have a problem with the movie itself, as much as the fact that it seems to be the only movie that's ever played in science class. I must have watched it at least five times by now, probably more, and now I'm watching it again in Physics class, even though it has no connection whatsoever with what we are studying right now. I don't watch a lot of movies, so there aren't really any others I can think of.

Any remake of a classic horror film. The original is always better, caveat emptor.

District 9 -- I couldn't even sit through the whole thing. First movie I ever walked out on.

I'm sure there are other movies I can't stand, but this one came to mind first.

I try to avoid movies that look dumb. But I've been forced to watch movies that I ended up disliking, such as The Devil Wears Prada, Kate & Leopold, August Rush. I thought Superman Returns was going to be good, but it ended up sucking.

I also dislike the Star Wars prequels (but let's not have that discussion in this thread), and the first Star Trek movie (good cure for insomnia though). I didn't like the sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean, either.

2001: A Space Odyssey. Yes, I hate it, can't stand it. Sure it was miles ahead as far as effects and it had good music... but I just didn't like it. The fact that everyone practically grovels at Stanley Kubrick's feet cause of it doesn't help. I just have to roll my eyes when a film snob gets on his soap box, flexing his pseudo intellectual mind explaining why it's the greatest gift to man... and then using it as a litmus test to gauge whether or not if you're on the same level of sophistication and enlightenment as they are >.>

Most movies, if I don't like it... I forget about it and that's it. So I can't think of any off the top of my head at the moment other than that. There's a number I don't like but nothing that really stands out as something I just can't stand.

The Star Wars prequels. They watch like a teenage boy's bad fantasy romance.

Escape from New York- I'm not one for action films, and while this one is considered.... I dunno what, but I don't like it.

And most of my mother's favorite 50's-40's films. All About Eve, for instance.

I have some more.

Every Home Alone movie except for the first one. Lost In New York was okay, but the other ones just sucked.

I also won't see any movie that is longer than two hours, besides LOTR and a few other exceptions.

Pitch Black is about the only movie I've ever wanted to walk out on in my life. Oh, scratch that - I walked out of Battlefield Earth. I also hated Alien Resurrection (stomped all over one of my favorite franchises...not that Alien 3 was any good) and The English Patient (most overrated movie EVER...).

X-men 3 such a dreadfully awful movie, also Boondock Saints II: All saints day. Flat out terrible

I know there have been movies I really didn't like, but now of course I can't remember them. Probably pretty much any horror movie. I really just can't handle them, I usually only like monster movies. Hm, now that I think about it I've seen some pretty sucky monster movies. Lake Placid 2 was pretty bad, I don't think I even finished it. I also definitly never liked the American Pie movies. I saw part of one before I think and it was just so dumb.

Oh yeah, Alien Resurrection was crap. Alien 3 wasn't much better.

I hate American Pie and everything it stands for.

Also, I couldn't finish Shakespeare In Love. Somebody must have paid off the Academy that year because that movie totally did not deserve all the Oscars it got.

The director of Alien 3, David Fincher, actually disowned the movie and likened it to a car-crash. Alien: Resurrection was disowned by its screenwriter, a fellow named Josh Whedon.

I did not like the first Twilight movie. Its the only film in the world I ever walked out of.

...Interesting.

Boondock Saints. Aside from being a rather lack-luster movie, it glorifies murder, which is something that I cannot willingly or knowingly promote.

Anything by Kevin Smith. I will never understand how he gathered such a large, dedicated following.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen- Wonderful idea turned into utter trash.

"Movie" movies. You know, Scary Movie, Epic Movie, etc.

And the Star Wars Prequels.

It didn't, but for a history/lit major who is totally in love with that time period, the little historical details and jokes that they put in there made it a ball to watch. I watched it simply to enjoy those!

The only Kevin Smith movie I still like is Dogma. Clerks has moments, but overall...eh.

I liked Boondock Saints, but it's definitely not an example of great filmmaking nor a paragon of morality.

I've finally decided that I generally dislike most of Quentin Tarantino's films. Pulp Fiction feels like little more than drugs, rape, violence, and pop culture reference loosely strung together with a high-dollar soundtrack. Some of the banter is funny, I guess, but a movie needs more than that. The Kill Bill movies are okay I guess. Inglorious You-Know-Whats was a disappointment.

Oh man, the first one that comes to mind is Eat, Pray, Love.

Wahh, I'm having a midlife crisis! *dumps husband and hooks up with loser actor*

You're supposed to like the protagonist in a movie.

Let's see, I hate X Men 3 and the Pirates sequels and American Pie and "Movie" parodies. They just aren't funny.

Why are you guys complaining about X-men 3 when you have Wolverine Origins to complain about?

I really liked X-men 3. Origins was just downright awful.

I liked Wolverine Origins. Better than X-Men 3

Never go to a movie I can't stand in theater so I never had to walk out, but District 9 was AWFUL!! I almost hurled sitting on my couch. Other than that... I can't think of many. Oh, the second and third Matrix (I will not discuss that XDD let's not argue, this is just my opinion)

I didn't care for the Matrix sequels either.

Hmmm...I don't know whether I necessarily hate any movies. Mostly I just think they're either bad or good, but it's not like I hate them with a passion or anything. Except for maybe Barney or Spot videos, because my sisters watched them way too much when they were that age XD And I don't really care for Charlotte's Web in any version or form, but I wouldn't call that hate either.

I don't hate Twilight because it's actually better than the book (which isn't saying very much), and because you can at least laugh at The Vampire Who Bathes In Glitter.

Normally, I don't stop any movie halfway through, even if I don't care for it. Three times I've done that, though - Pay It Forward, The Wild, and this one version of The Three Musketeers. Blech.

I strongly disliked Kick-A**. Too crude, too often for me.

Everything else that comes to mind right now is stupid kiddie stuff that I wish my younger sister never found. >:l

I have yet to meet someone who likes them.

This might sound stereotypical, but the first Twilight movie was a particularly painful experience to sit through. Not because of how bad the movie was, but because I was unable to make fun of it because of where I was seated...yeah that was an experience I'd rather not relive.

Casper is another one I hate. You see when I was a kid, my sister and I flew out to Seattle as unaccompanied minors. We got stuck in the Philadelphia airport for a variety of reasons. They have a room for unaccompanied minors that they stuck us in. There they played Casper. And when it finished...they played it again. We were stuck there for around 8 hours...yeah.

Funny unrelated story about this movie. I've yet to see the end of it. I was watching it on my way to Israel...but the monitor thing I was watching it on had issues and would keep freezing during the movie. I was able to a couple times restart it but the third time it did this...I failed. And it was right before the climax too...yeah

For me, the first one that comes to mind is Pulp Fiction. I had a hard time following it and it was too disturbing, and not in a good way. I'm probably the only person in the whole universe who hates this one.

You ain't the only one.

If Pulp Fiction is the movie I think it is then I didn't like it either and I only saw part of it edited on TV. Another movie I didn't like was A History of Violence. My mom wanted to see it because Viggo Mortensen was in it. We didn't even make it through the first half an hour.

Movies from that guy are just gross.

I love Tarantino movies. A lot. But I can admit that it's my inner 15-year-old that thinks they're so great.

There aren't a lot of movies I really hate, I guess. Except for AVATAR. That movie can DIE. It would have been alright if it were under two hours, but lawd. I came out of that theater wanting to burn down every rainforest in the world and litter alllll over some Indian reservations.

High School Musical. Not that I actually elected to watch it, but my first college roommate thought she needed it to lull her to sleep at night...every night...I've been scarred for life...
