This is my runner-up. The only thing worse than this movie is that boring long-ass wreck 2001: Space Odyssey. I actually had to call up the person who recommended this film to me and yell at him. He cried, Robbin Williams cried, I cried...what a nightmare. I refuse to be subjected to it ever again.

The Cell
I can't say that I hate all of the movie because I couldn't bring myself to watch the second half. I don't care for psychological horrors at the best of times, but going into the warped mind of a serial killer as J-lo was just so meh.

Would be interested to know other peoples take on this one.

This is one of my favorite movies. Idiocracy is sheer brilliance, sir.

I totally can see why one would hate Inception and I am with them for most part. I wouldn`t watch it a third time. I just could not understand the hype.

Uh..lets just set the last dream in snowy mountains, because it just looks so much cooler....ugh.

Inception is visually great, but that`s about it.

And please leave the Shawshank Redemption alone :-( It`s a great, great movie and I could watch it over and over again.

Also: There will be blood I saw it some years after it came out, and although I liked the acting by Daniel Day Lewis and the looks of it I could not get the story to interest me.
I did not want to turn it off, but it felt so long and boring. I don`t know, it`s hard to describe with my english skills.

But I somehow hated it, without really hating on it.

Doesn`t make sense I guess.

28 Weeks Later should have been the Aliens to 28 Days Later's Alien.
But, instead of a 90min zombie gunfest, it's the most depressing pos movie I've ever sat through.
Totally wasted Robert Carlyle as well which is unforgivable and the ending was just ******ed.

Imo

Most James Bond franchise fans unanimously hate Timothy Dalton, but I thought he was great. I loved both of his Bond movies (License to Kill & The Living Daylights). Not sure why he gets a bad rap, I like him better than Daniel Craig

I didn't hate this movie by any stretch but I do think it's seriously overrated.
Daniel Day is still the ****ing man though.

Also saw love and other drugs recently and that's pretty damn terrible.
If there is a worst genre ever it's romance.

Minority Report

I'm a P.K.D. fan and they butchered the story.

I'm down with the Shamalamadingdong hate, but my hatred started with Unbreakable. **** that POS, cramming the comic imagery right down our throats and then failing so badly with such an obvious and truly vomit-worthy "twist" that I can't believe I actually saw another Shamalamadingdong film after that. **** "Signs" too. I've already seen the Wizard of Oz, idiot. I know witches, and those aliens are no witches.

+1 mirrion

LOL...Katy, you need to be more critical in Lounge threads - you're hilarious when you are!

It's a strange one, but a film I can't stop watching when it comes on.

I agree completely, but only if you switch the two movies around.

I'm one of the few who love this film. So much better than 28 Days Later.

And this has what to with the thread?

Love this movie, too.

Hadn't seen this one mentioned yet - anyone else hate Forrest Gump?

Maybe it was because of the hype/reviews, but I thought it was so self-congratulatory and just so obvious in its attempt to manipulate emotions that I still hate it.

Thats another great nomination. The Untouchables is just a bad movie its not worthy of hate.

You're the Tom Paulin of the lounge.

Naked

I hated virtually everything about this movie. I couldn't wait for it to be over. Despite a great performance by the lead guy I despised the character as well as every other charcater in the movie, the plot (plot?), situations, and dialog.

Typically I would have turned it off way early but it was a Lounge DvD club selection so I felt I had to suffer through it.

There are probably lots of other movies I hate just as much but I have a pretty quick trigger on throwing in the towel because I have a perfect understanding of what I hate. So I likely never saw more than the first 15-20 minutes of them.

You think it's visually great but you hate that the director makes a choice based solely on what looks visually cool? I think he might justify the fortress in remote snowy mountain setting bc it's meant to represent how difficult the innermost layer of the psyche is to penetrate for Leo and his gang. And even if not, I wouldn't fault a director for making a choice solely on visuals in a visually stylized film.

Oh no you didn't!

Like I hated 2001, I can see hating the whole package but there were definitely great elements to it.

Crash. and it won the Oscar...despite being terrible.

One of my favorite bloggers tackled the issue well:

edit: to include notice of grunching

comparing The Birth of a Nation to Crash is kinda stretching it.

Saying Shawshank Redemption is the movie you most hate just seems ridiculous to me.

The Blair Witch Project

Yes, you broke new ground in marketing your movie, and I am not against trying new things in cinema. But, jesus, there is a reason most movie have written scripts. Or actors that actually have taken some kind of lessons. Having to listen to those obnoxious idiots yell "****" 20 times a minute was painful (and I am not even talking about the motion-sickness inducing camerawork). And those stick-figure things that were supposed to be scary looked like something the average pre-schooler would make at art time with popsicle sticks. There was not a single minute where I felt even a little scared or an iota of tension.

The review that summed it up best for me was "About halfway through, you start rooting for the witch."

Also, Double Jeopardy was one of the most insulting movies I ahve seen. The glaring plot holes are beyond ridiculous (everyone convicted of 1st degree murder is released in like 7 years, of course; your kid will never find out his mom was convicted of killing you, so sure, you can move right back in with him; anything that happened in the cemetary). TLJ sleepwalks through the whole movie, and the scene where he is on the strechter and babbling about Ashely Judd getting the keys to the city and the thing to put on her keychain was embarrasing.

But the most insulting thing was that we were supposed to believe that a late 20's, educated, American citizen had never heard of the concept of "double jeopardy" and needed a fellow inmate to explain it to her. To me, that is the filmmakers telling the audience "**** you. We think you are morons. We need to spell this out for you as obviously as we can."

Ok, I feel better now.

Isn't it interesting that most people's hate for a movie is rather a hating on other people's good reaction to a movie they dislike rather than hating on the movie itself. (Exceptions to that include the Crow and 300.) Which is why so many movies mentioned in this thread are classics.

I still haven't figured out how anyone can like 2001. Let's take a stort rather uninteresting story and S T R E T C H . I T . O U T . W I T H . T H E . S I L E N C E . O F . S P A C E. It would be one of my top disliked movie but not sure I hate any movie.

No, it isn't that interesting.

Most hated movie: Any Uwe Boll creation

Most popular hated movie: Toy story 3, I seriously feel like they stole my money and the entire internet, imdb, and movie reviewers were in a conspiracy...

I think it is a pretty normal reaction. It is a matter of overexposure. The same could be said for other pop culture acts like Justin Bieber, Madonna, etc. We have more of an opportunity to hate those things that we are bombarded with on a regular basis.
