I hate Avatar, the scenery and graphics are the best part about the movie, but they killed off half of their cast, the story line was very weak, and now they want to make a sequel? I don't think the story line for the sequel can out do the first one, but James Cameron has surprised everyone before.

In no particular order except Annie Hall and Shakespeare In Love are the worst on the list:

Annie Hall
Shakespeare In Love
Mamma Mia (love the music, hate the movie)
Gone With The Wind
Pretty Woman
Pirates of the Carribean (the first one)
Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring
American Beauty
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Spiderman
There's Something About Mary
All of the Batmans except for The Dark Knight which was great
The Wizard of Oz
Men In Black
ET
Back to The Future

For movies above that had sequels, except for Batman, I stopped going after the first one so I don't know if I would hate the sequels.

I generally don't go to movies I'm pretty sure I won't like, so my list may be shorter than most people's. For instance, I refused to go to the Titanic, no matter what my wife said.

In addition, I think there's a difference between movies that sell a lot of tickets and movies that serious people actually think are good movies.

That said, some of my most hated movies that other people seemed to like:

Forest Gump
Something About Mary
Gone With the Wind (but maybe because I don't get all nostalgic about slavery)
Kenneth Branagh's Henry V--well done, but I disagreed with the overtly political message in favor of English imperialism

I wouldn't say I hated them, but all three LOTR movies fell so short of the book that I couldn't fully enjoy them, especially the Two Towers. I think I would say that every single change made from the book to the movie was a change for the worse.

One last point--Mamma Mia? Twilight? How in the world could anyone expect them to be anything other than the dreck they turned out to be? You have to know that if you buy the ticket that's what you're getting. That's why what may be my most hated movie ever, Old School (remind me never to pay to see Will Ferrell in a movie) didn't make this list.

I don't know if all of these are outright 'hate,' but I don't care for them and don't understand why people think they are good:

Avatar
Matrix
Hangover
American Beauty
Moulin Rouge
Up in the Air
Howard's End
Close Encounters (omg...boring as hell)
Ghostbusters
just about any vietnam movie (except Forrest Gump)
Transformer movies (and I loved them when I was a kid)

Bridges of Madison County
Pretty Woman
Dracula - the miscast one with Kennau Reeves, Oldman and Wynona
(I hate it when the ruin Dracula, I won't be seeing Twilights)
On the same note - Interview with a Vampire - totally miscast
Lord of the Rings - again, mostly miscast, the hobbits were awful

Loved Gone with the Wind and American Beauty and a few others of above lists though

I don't really consider Saw etc. movies

Right there with you, particularly the first.

Also:
Something About Mary
The Incredibles
Titanic
The Blair Witch Project
Watchmen

I know there are more, but, I've wiped them from my memory.

O Blair Witch and its crappy sequel who could forget those lol. Watchmen I heard sucked massively, titanic was OK but was more of a love story then about the ship. The other two aren't that bad.
