the absolute worst Batman movie ever... bad hackmead(sp?) acting.... horrible story, the steroid user who played Bane,, even Uma Thurman could not save it
Jodie Foster and Robert Zemeckis showing that really smart people can still completely miss the meaning of what they're reading. Carl Sagan must still be spinning in his grave.
Clash of the Titans. Random characters come in and leave, things happen with no explanation, people know things with no explanation, gods are unimpressive and have a vague homoerotic feel, overacting for bit players and underacting for others. What a mess.
I despise a lot of movies, but I get irritated by any movie that I think is crap while it rakes in tons at the box office. Sometimes I find myself hating movies I have not seen because I think "Why are so many people flocking to this movie? The trailer looks like crap and the ratings are not good, so what the hell compels people to spend money on it?"
Examples of movies I have seen and hate due to the above reason:
Hellboy
Twighlight
Resident Evil
Juno
Most of the Michael Bay movies that I've seen
Examples of movies I have not seen and hate due to the above reasons:
Clash of the Titans
Norbit
Alice in Wonderland (and other recent Burtin films)
New Moon (and likely the next movie of the series)
Underworld (and sequels)
Resident Evil sequels
The Michael Bay movies that I have not seen
Pirates of the Carribean as a series (thought the first was ok, but can't stand all of the teenagers that flip out about "how hot" the actors are)
Movies I hate, but not due to public reactions::
LotR trilogy (especially the extended cuts)
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
The Core
Dreamcatcher
There's obviously more, but I'm blanking. Ever couple of weeks there seems to be a movie that crowds flock to and all I can do is ask "why?"

Wow, I had you pegged for someone who woulda loved Hellboy.

Different expectations going into it. Though, I'm pretty sure I would have still thought of it as a crapfest even with low expectations. I wrote a review of it years ago (2004). Here it is:
The first movie that I have rated a 1. I have been tempted with others but Dreamcatcher is my reasoning for them not receiving a 1. Example: I say to myself, "Hellboy was horrible, but it wasn't quite as bad as Dreamcatcher. Therefore, Hellboy gets a 2." I thought that the movie looked promising. The commercials didn't give away to much and actually made it resemble Fallen starring Denzel Washington and John Goodman (about an 8/10). When actually watching the movie, I still felt that promise of something interesting. They were out in the middle of nowhere when this strange sick man comes along. He then starts to bulge which makes you think that something cool is going to happen. Along with the bulge was a bunch of retarded farting noises that I tried to overlook. Then, the unthinkable happens. The guy goes to take a shit and dies with a trail of blood leading to the toilet. I was thinking WTF in an interested way. All of a sudden, this slug like alien slides from behind the toilet. I sunk about a foot in my chair because of how retarded the movie suddenly became. Eventually, the guy escapes the bathroom to be met by a giant one of these slug aliens which seems more human like with its arms and legs. Some how, don't ask me how it worked, the giant alien got inside the man and takes over his body. The movie from here on out will show the man trying to fight off the alien inside his head by hiding his memory from it. Keep in mind that his memories are kept in boxes in a storage room within his head. Talk about stupid. Later, one of the guys friends encounters one of the small aliens as well. It is way to obvious from the beginning that the alien is going to attack his dick. It is pretty sad when a movie that is trying build on suspense has aliens attacking peoples' asses and dicks. Its been a while since actually watching the movie but I also recall that all of the human characters were given telepathic powers when they saved a disguised alien from bullies when they were kids. They were forcing the kid to eat crap and were scared off (I think by threats of telling since they were younger). The movie also ended with a bunch of crap as the military started attacking herds of the aliens that decided to cluster despite their intelligence early in the movie. The only positive I can remember from this movie at all, was Morgan Freeman saying, "Shit Weezels." That should not ever be the only positive.
And for Hellboy (also reviewed in 2004):
I typically think comic book movies and big budget movies are crap (or atleast overrated) but this one is by far worse than many of the others of the sort. Yikes this was a horrible movie. I can't believe they are planning a sequel to this piece of crap. WHat was with that guy that was revived with no legs? He looked shitty and was annoying. Then he didn't even serve his purpose. He was to guide them somewhere and they walked through one door way and he died. Also, there was no suspense to that final fight either. I remember there being absolutely no reaction by the audience. Btw: I have never seen so many people leave in the middle of a movie before in my life.
I give this movie 8 thumbs down out of 2.

I love Star Wars as much as I love Batman and Star Trek, but the one gripe I have regarding Star Wars is one name... JAR JAR BINKS, what in the world possessed George Lucas to create such a vile, unpopular and dumb ass character?? The solution would have been to never create that character in the first place
I have TWO names.Jar Jar Binks AND Darth Maul.speaking of star wars,as much as I hate the prequals,I so much hate Return of The jedi even more so and Lucas for what he did to that film.
