I'll cast my vote for Napoleon Dynamite. I think I smirked slightly at the line "Do the chickens have large talons" and "Tina, come get some ham, you fat lard", but I don't know why as those lines are not particularly funny. Overall: awful. Completely awful. A terrible movie. I am completely baffled at its cult following.

Napolean Dynamite was awesome!

Napoleon Nynamite was a stupid movie whose references I had to live with for a year because some dumb red necks in high school wouldn't stop asking for tots.

As you can tell, this movie and I have some emotional issues

Yeah, Napoleon Dynamite is awesome.

'Ever take it over any sweet jumps?'



Anyway, the films I really hate are those 'Fockers' films. To quote Morrissey, 'that joke isn't funny anymore'. Actually, it was NEVER funny.

I'm gunna say Napoleon Dynamite too. I watched it after people said it was awesome and... well, I want that wasted time back.

At first I thought i'd missed the bit that makes everyone understand what they're watching, but it soon became clear that I didn't, because there wasn't one.

Honestly, I don't see what the fuss is about.

I feel bad in myself that quite a few of those movies mentioned I quite liked.

Anyway, any High School Musical, some parts, not all,, of the LOTR series, Moulan Rouge, Mamma Mia just to name a few.

...Hmm, I suppose I could do without the sea of remakes/reimaginings, but really the only film that I find myself wishing "didn't happen" would be the as of yet to be released adaptation of " World War Z"...based on everything I've read this film is going to blow.

Starship Troopers
Dragonball Evolution
Suckerpunch
Star Wars prequels
Star Trek Nemesis, Star Trek Insurrection /facepalm

I thought the animated one was decent.

never saw it
more so meant the michael bay ones

Find a copy! The 1986 Transformers movie is not merely significantly better than the Michael Bay films, it actually seems to be pitched at a more mature audience.

The animated movie's cast even includes Orson Welles, a man generally regarded as one of the twentieth century's greatest actors, which is, let us be fair, about as gargantuan a step up from Shia LaBeouf as one can take.

Arthur.

HATED it.

What I disliked about Arthur was at the very end, that final scene undid the entire movie, all his personal growth and achievement; BAM! worthless

How has Space Marine not been mentioned yet?

Both the Dragonball and the Avatar (Last airbender) movies made me want to gut the respective directors with a rusty spoon...

Insurrection was fine. It wasn't top tier, but if it had been a season finale, it would have been a sweet season finale.

AvP

How could you make me hate both the Aliens and the Predators?

Before that movie I would have bet big money that anything with Aliens or Predators in it could not possibly suck as completely and consistently as AvP does.

AvP could have been awesome. They just botched the job

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "Aliens". It made the franchise more of a 'Hey! Alien! Let's shoot the hell out of it and now it dies!' instead of a 'Oh gak. Did you see that? Oof, there goes my head. And yours. Well, we need Sigourney Weaver in a giant Mech Suit to kill [ijust one[/i]


TL;DR Aliens took a franchise I liked into a direction it shouldn't have gone.

Airbender was atrocious.
Alien: Resurrection was bad.
Star Wars prequels are a fething joke. In fact, let's discount everything past The Last Crusade as horrible things George Lucas made.
Michael Bay sucks at everything.
Sucker Punch, if only just to not have it feel like it was written by an acne-stricken 15 year old chronic masturbator.

Maybe it's just me as someone who's never really seen the Star Trek TV show, but I thought the new movie was fantastic.

There have been a lot of bad movies over the years and personally it would be too annoying to list them all.

The main ones that stand out for me are the Michael Bay Transformer movies and Dragon Ball Evolution although I wish that these movies were made with competent directors/script writers.

Imagine how awesome it could have been if the live action Transformer movies were as good as the original animated movie and Dragon Ball Evolution as good as the anime.

I loved Aliens! How could you say that? The point of the movie was to get back at the Aliens and kick some bugs like Fire Warrior gunlines and a squad of gaunts. Hey, and nearly everyone died anyway, so it was really similar to the original. Who doesn't love it when the main character gets a really big yellow suit and kicks the crap out of a self-reproducing roach? I guess I can't change your opinion, but that's mine.

I do wish that Conan's remake was trashed, though. UUUGGH.

For diehards, The Matrix does not have a sequel. Let alone two.

star wars 1 2 and 3 should never have been created and everything that has Tom cruise or even a cameo of tom cruise

I lost focus after you said Star Wars...

HERETIC! PLEASE JUSTIFY YOUR OPINION!!!

simple the star wars should only ever have had 4 5 and 6, new hope, empire strikes back and return of the jedi, the newer stuff was just garbage

I actually really loved the Star Wars prequels, far more than the original trilogy, in fact. Except The Phantom Menace, that horrible excuse for a movie can go die in a pit.

My most hated movie of all time is Nacho Libre. I hated that movie, it ruined my respect for Jack Black. I loved him in School of Rock, that was an excellent film, but Nacho Libre made sure I would never enjoy anything that had anything to do with Jack Black again.

I also hated Avatar. Looked gorgeous, and I rather enjoyed it, right up until the end, when all the humans get killed because their bullets cannot penetrate the magical plot armor the Na'vi are wearing. I hope Pandora gets bombed into oblivion from orbit in the sequel.

The Hangover had it's funny bits, but could not hold my attention at all. My friend had to tell me the best jokes afterwards because I ended up watching Firefly on my phone instead.
Speaking of Firefly, Serenity left a lot to be desired. I liked it, don't get me wrong, I just felt they could have done better with it.

EDIT: Fixed a typo.

I don't know, obviously the originals were better although 6 got a little towards the end, but it always seems as though the prequels are legit, especially the way 3 puts everything together...

Revenge of the Sith is my favorite out of all the Star Wars films. I loathed Return of the Jedi. I found myself rooting for the Empire the whole time.

If you go to http://redlettermedia.com/plinkett/star-wars/ you will see why the "prequel" movies absolutely suck, and should never have been made.

I agree with Alien 3, and Resurrection.. As I positively love the first 2 Aliens movies.

Predator 2 should probably have been axed before filming.

Also, without seeing the "new" conan, there was only 1 conan movie, and it was NOT the one that co-starred Wilt Chamberlain.

Rocky V... For Rocky fans, this movie simply does not exist.

Pearl Harbor, this movie was terrible, on top of all of the historical inaccuracies.

The Wolfman Remake, with Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro.

I really shouldn't have to type this, but it hasn't been mentioned yet.. Twilight

Man, I'm so disappointed in the Matrix. I mean, it was a great movie, and they just let it die without a sequel?

Twilight is high on my list. If only because I have a family member who thinks its the greatest thing since sliced bread. (A younger sister, shockingly enough)

As for the Star Wars movies...I really don't see why they got so much hate. I enjoyed the prequel trilogy. I feel Jar Jar Binks was...unnecessary to put it mildly (I fear going against forum rules on this one ) but I liked seeing the background to the original trilogy, and how Anakin fell to the Dark Side.

The two Matrix sequels : why ruin such a good story ?
AvP 1 & 2 : after reading the comics of AvP I went to the cinema hoping for something good.. well.. at least enjoyable... NOT.
DareDevil
Predators : why make it ?
..and many others I have erased from my long term memory.

I thought the Star Wars 1-3 haters would come out sooner.

My opionion:
