What Movies do you hate the most?

I have to agree on that. All it is is that you have a bunch of preps singing a song, and the handsome jock and the pretty new girl is singing a song for a talent show, but you have the stuck-up girl and her brother trying to stop them from singing. In the end the boy and girl sing their song and everyone lives happily ever after. BIG WHOOP!

I don't like those musicals or movies that is something like a prep made. The two movies are also cliche and have no creativity whatsoever. I can't stand it!

I don't hate any particular genre. I think that's too easy and over-simplified. You have to pick individual movies. I generally think there's a lot of crud out there, and I should know because I make an effort to see almost every movie released (or at least available at Blockbuster). One month, we signed up for the Blockbuster online service, where we could keep 3 out at a time. Anyway, that month, we watched almost 60 movies including all the new releases at that time and we ended up liking only 2:

Triplets of Belleville
Intacto (...Spanish film)

All the others were marginally average to crap.

Romantic comedies, action/adventure, fantasy, and CGI comedies are my least favorites. There are exceptions every now and again, but I'm getting really sick of what seems every movie being released these days fits into one of these genres.

Horror, Suspense, Romantic Comedies, and Romantic Drama.

Anything overly violent, overly loud or that ones in which every second word is a curse word-which seems to emcompass nearly every movie made these days.

Lost in Translation.

my pick for worst movie is "no country for old men". there was no resolve at the end. the coen brothers made better movies like "fargo", but this is just plain horrible.

I haven't seen "No Country" yet, but I really don't like the "no resolve" style of film-making. Sitting through two hours of watching someone self-destruct through their own flaws is not my idea of fun. I need that one last act of redemption at the end, no matter how cliche it is.

I also hate action movies that try to be super-realistic by shaking the camera around everywhere. I know it's supposed to be from the point-of-view of someone who's right in the action, but why can't they choose the point-of-view of someone who's carrying a tripod? I like to watch action, not blurry lines.

And then there's the cheap "let's kill off one of the lovers for the sake of emotional drama" ending. This always results in the hero going emo by the sequel.

Any of the teen flicks.

Boy/girl going through some issue and "coming of age."
Boy/girl trying to get some girl/boy who they are interested in, to reciprocate that interest.
Boy/girl going through issues with puberty and a "changing body," and what it means.

And my most hated of hated teen flick subgenres/plots/whatever:
Boy/girl in movie trying to lose virginity. And/or/or including: Teen girl gets pregnant.

These last two I have mentioned I hate with an extreme and utter passion.

I don't much care for non-action movies unless they're either interesting or funny... however, there are a lot of action movies which I thought were pretty lame, too. I hate most teen dramas. I utterly despise movies about "romance" or relationships... they're shallow, boring, and a reminder of what I'll never have. I absolutely hated Titanic... one of the most overrated movies of all time, IMHO. I also don't like movies with a lot of sexual content, because it's embarrassing to watch when other people are around. Oh yeah, and I think most of the Disney films are incredibly lame... though I did like the first Pirates movie.

I used to work at a movie theater at the height of the Bennifer craze. By the time I stopped working there I wished nothing but white hot death on both of them.

DAREDEVIL: Such a waste. Michael Clarke Duncan and Colin Farrell saved it.
SUM OF ALL FEARS: They nuke an American city that Ben Affleck is in and he DOES NOT DIE. The dude's like a cockroach!
CHANGING LANES: In this movie you have Sam Jackson, Sydney Pollack, and William Hurt and Ben Affleck gets higher billing than all of them! What the hell??
ENOUGH: Women actually came to this movie and related to it. What the hell??
MAID IN MANHATTAN: We actually had a guy who came and saw every showing of this movie every Saturday. I never understood why.
GIGLI: When J.Lo in a unitard doing yoga talking about her vagina can't save a movie, you know you're screwed.

We also had dreck like Bad Boys 2 and Pluto Nash.

Not related to work though, one of the worst I saw was The Black Dahlia. Okay, the movie is CALLED The Black Dahlia. It's ABOUT the Black Dahlia murders. Yea they spend easily half the movie NOT SOLVING THE MYSTERY. It's like the script had to taser itself into reminding what it was about in the first place.

Also for some reason my roommate had the DVD of Lady in the Water. I tried to watch it with a friend and we didn't get past the first hour. I can forgive a film for being bad, but not for being boring.

Oh yea, and I hated the Pirates of the Carribbean sequels. First one was good, second and third ones I had NO IDEA what was going on. And both of them were like what three hours each? They did NOT need three hours to accomplish what they did in each movie. It was only two movies but they felt like three or four. My friend basically had to trap me into seeing the third one and I've never forgiven him.

...Yea, I've seen my fair share of bad films.

Cabin Boy - worst. movie. evah.

'Head' comes in a close second, with Blown Away (the one with Coreys Haim and Feldman) rounding out the top three.

Just... so, so bad.


M.

Lost in Translation, Knocked Up, Broken Flowers, Sideways, Kaaterskill Falls..
And as of today: Margot at the Wedding. Stupid and pretentious.. Nicole Kidman needs to work on her accent, too.

There's plenty of others too. I dislike most Jennifer Aniston movies.. I also hate movies that are pretentious with forced dialogue and forced convoluted plots that try to be quirky and psychologically deep but end up just being stupid.

"American Beauty"

Boring.

I never, ever, ever want to sit through that crap again.

I agree 100%! !

There are exceptions to every genre, so I'll avoid making broad generalizations and name titles.

Can't stand Garden State, Moulin Rouge, Tim Burton's version of Sweeney Todd (sorry guys, but sad truth is Tim's wife and favorite actor can't sing and it's practically an opera- a straight version of the story would have been a much better choice), Juno...and probably some others that I can't think of now.


It really bugs me that modern musicals like to train their stars to sing in whispy voices, and then fix the intonation in post-production. At least old school musicals like West Side Story and My Fair Lady had the decency to get trained ghost singers for their stars.

I'm also getting sick of the independent-y flicks that become everyone's facebook favorites every year, but are even more cliché than Hollywood blockbusters. See plot: Emotionally unstable young man meets quirky but charming girl, and they form a unique relationship that has problems but will eventually work out in the end, because they're rebels damn it, and they don't care what society thinks!
