    Well these are more categories but they are still movies I hate.

    Just about every horror movie ever made consisting of screaming and crying teenagers/girls running around while dong this.

    Just about every action movie ever made consisting of someone getting shot at 1000+ times without being harmed and killing the enemy in one single shot or some other ridiculous action.

    Then my tops would be any movie touched by Mel Gibson as a director. Can't say enough about the crap that guy puts out with little to no information/research about what he's doing (but usually he prefers to play off of people's emotions or push his own prejudices to make vast amounts of cheap cash). :pity:

    I like horror movies just not the cheap recycled ones that they use in every single one. You know the horror movie template. The same goes for action movies. Its just those particular kinds of action/horror that I hate. :up:

    most horror movies today are crap. Why? because horror movies/stories were once a social vehicle used to critique society in an extreme world/situation, now its just mean to merely give cheap screams.

    Batman and Robin: This movie made me hate movies for a time. It was just horrible and bad. It was just bad. I hate this movie so much. It is just horrible. I can't describe how horrible it is.

    Very Bad Things: Movies rarely make me feel like I am less of a human after watching them. This movie did. I just felt like this movie was just bad. It was supposed to be a dark comedy, however it wasn't funny. The only thing about it was they just had to keep on murdering people. From someone who actually laughs when people die in movies, this movie was just horrid to me.

    Most Chick Flicks: I find it hard to think of a third movie that I hate. However there is Boys, which was freaking boring. My Best Friend's Wedding which sets the record for the least likable characters in a movie. 0. That one with Madonna where she tricks some gay guy that he is the father of her child and then tries to get custody away from him and I am supposed to see her side for being a stupid *****. Pretty Woman which some how made me think that a store who makes money based entirely on reputation made a mistake about not selling their clothes to a hooker. Yea that was a big mistake. Think of the money they would of lost if it got around that hookers shopped there! Plus a stupid movie overall.

    I agree that the movie doesn't actually make sense, but dude it's an alien flick.

    This is like hating on ET and saying its against the laws of physics to make a bike fly. :lol:

    but seriously: movies I hate:

    1. Traffic. I dont deny that its very well acted and well produced. That said, I NEVER want to see it again...ever.

    2. Boiler Room. You're seriously gonna sit me down, and have Ben Affleck try to do Alec Baldwin's scene in Glen Gary Glen Ross? Seriously?

    3. The Hills Have Eyes. This movie has serious f'n problems...and if you enjoy
    teen rape, pregnant women getting murdered brutally, moms getting killed, grandmoms getting butchered, and gross sick mutants doing a plethora of nasty ****
    then you have some serious problems too. crossed WAY into the realm of bad taste.

    A.I. I was actually angry when I left the theater.

    Battlefield Earth It almost crossed into that "It's so bad it's funny" area but not quite. It just stayed bad.

    Napolean Dynamite A friend told me I had to be Mormon to get it. Well, I'm not and I didn't.

    And I don't get the Shawshank hate. It's one of my favorite all-time movies.

    I agree with the Hills Have Eyes. What you listed was the selling point of the movie.

    I thought Traffic was a decent movie. Not great, but it had a few good moments.

    Boiler Room I liked. Affleck is only in about 5 mins of the whole movie.

    I actually wrote and published a lengthy essay on the graphic novel and as for the art part, it's about as artitistic as a Leni Riefenstahl film.

    Not trying to defend Batman and Robin because it isn't a good film but if you try to watch it knowing it's not a serious Batman film and is more of a campy film ala the 60's TV show it is that bad. Again don't get me wrong it's crappy but it was never trying to be serious, just a 2 hour toy commerical to get kids to buy the newest action figures.

    I loved Boiler Room and thought Ben Affleck did a good job in his cameo. I mean he played the part perfectly. He's full of crap and so is the company. He's all talk. Good casting choice in my opinion.

    No not at all. I personally don't think he's much of an actor and only really liked him in Boiler Room (which he was only in for 5 minutes) and Chasing Amy. Who someone roots for sports wise or where he was born/from doesn't matter to me at all.

    I just happen to think his cameo came off well. I don't understand how you could hate a movie just because an actor was in it in a total of what 2 or 3 scenes (which was maybe 5 minutes running time) when his character was minor and didn't affect the outcome or plot of the movie.

    Yes. And I'm guessing that you're going to say that he tries too hard to be like Alec Baldwin or is doing a bad Baldwin impression but I think that's the whole point. Remember the scene in Boiler Room when they're at Nicky's house and all quoting Wall Street? I think that's the whole point. Everyone at the J. T. Marlin is full of crap and just pretending to be the Gordon Gekko or a character from Glenn Gary, even Nicky in BR asks Giovanni Ribisi if he's seen Glenn Gary, they mention numerous times how great Charlie Sheen was in Wall Street or how they want to be like Gekko. J.T. Marlin is a fake firm and all of these guys are trying too way to be these big shot financial guys they see in the movies, hence the Wall Street scene. I think you missed the point with some of the scenes in the movie.

    Let's see:

    - Both main characters go to jail.
    - Both are being punished for more than they deserve.
    - Both are hated by the other prisoners.
    - Both eventually win over other prisoners, with acts of rebellion.
    - Both have to deal with the loss (one way or another) of a loved one.
    - Both have sadistic wardens.
    - Both wardens had right-hand men who were evil personified.
    - Both are attempted to be broken of their spirit.
    - Both try to escape.
    - Both question life outside of prison.
    - Both have best friends in prison, who also question life outside prison.
    - Both never give up.
    - Both remain true to who they are, even through deception.

    You sure they're not alike, considering they share most of the same major plot points?

    Thank you sir... when that movie had finished I was sick to my stomach and angry. I thought it to be the emptiest shell of a movie (at least until I saw 300 which is even more appalling). But everyone around me adored it, So I was like... "Maybe I just missed the point, maybe I should watch it again"... I did... hated it even more.

    I don't hate bad movies that where always doomed to be bad. Catwoman was a bad idea from inception, as were things like Son of the Mask, they do not deserve the effort it takes to be hated. My pain comes to movies that think they are doing something good when in reality they are just making horrible movies.

    So to me it goes like this:

    1) Brick: Isincerely hope no one ever has to watch this self absorved daddy's boy excuse for a movie. (If you read the producers names, they all have the same last name as the director... who somehow managed to use this movie to get himself a bigger movie with Adrien Brody attached to it). It is awful, a sort of high school noir that simply takes itself waaaaay to seriously. And utterly fails at every thing.

    2) Sin City: Completely a-moral, utterly cliche, pathetically acted. Made by computer lovers that appreciate an esthetic image that is more fit to making a Coco Channel commercial than to making a movie. Full of one-liners that try to sound smart but end up just creating weak caricatures of characters. It has a middle story that is absolutely stupid and appalling (plus makes reasonably able actors look like idiots)... fact of the matter the only thing kinda worth it in the movie is Mickey Rourke... and even that is shticky.

    3)Kill Bill: I'll preface this by saying that technically this movie is amazing. The dialogue is great, the cinematography is darn good as is the editing. The ideas behind some of the scenes are wonderfully pulled out (like the anime scene) and the acting is good... the problem is that it is stupid. Actually it is very stupid, and that is what hurts. You have a good director at the top of his game that is not interested in making a good movie, he is interested in making a mish mash of pop references... well pop references are cool in tongue in cheek essays, but are absolutely vacuous and can't be the basis of a movie (as in pop referencees are just that pop references, they are not plot, they are not character). So you have what is clearly a supremely talented group of people... and they are making crap.

    I do wish to add to it stuff like Napoleon Dynamite, and Mistic River, and Crash... And in my personal view Barry Lyndon (I did like Eyes Wide Shut, but can't get through 5 minutes of Barry Lyndon)

    wow...

    i liked Sin City, but i wouldnt watch it over and over...(did i accidentally post it on that other thread? whoops)

    I kinda agree about Kill Bill, honestly I liked it for its visual stuff. But I didnt care for the story much, and I thought the ending kinda sucked.

    meh

    I never did like Almost Famous or Boogie Nights. I know a lot of people liked them and said how great they were but I found both to be extremely long and boring.
