Movies that You Abhor

[Libby]

Following the Horrible Movie's Thread, tell us about the movies you abhor-
aka - hate with a horrible passion and why. This isn't meant to be a Horrible Movies thread, but even good movies that you personally hate for some reason or the other. This can even mean hating classics like Godfather because you love horses.

I can't think of any at the moment, but have fun telling us about the movies you hate. (and any debates are welcome, just be nice. kay?)

[Duel]

Jumper

Good movie but it feels so incomplete. Like making a sandwhich without bread.

[Phoenix]

High School Musical

I don't know why, I've never seen it, but for some reason everytime I see an ad for it I just feel like hating it.

[Bon]

Bee Movie...

While the animation was pretty good, the dialogue disappointed...and I can now affirm, with great certainty, that Jerry Seinfield is effing overrated as a human being.

[Smurf Taco]

God damn Notting Hill. And for some reason, every girl at my school seems to be in love with it at the moment.

[IRC]

I'm tempted to merge this with the horrible movies thread and slap a new title on it.

[josh]

Juno. ****ing annoying. stereotypical, formulaic, and incredibly one-dimensional.

[Sezjeuric]

God damn Notting Hill. And for some reason, every girl at my school seems to be in love with it at the moment.

That's because it was featured on television by at least 2 different networks in the last month.


I remember watching that movie when I was 13, and I hated it.

Now.....not so much

[sleepywolf]

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within!
I wouldn't say I 'hate' this movie, it just severely flung me off a cliff of disappointedness... I remember when I first was sitting down in a theater waiting for it to come on. I was thinking bout all my favorite FF's(7 and up basically) and all the cool stuff in them, but there was NOTHING in the movie that showed it was a Final Fantasy! ( cept Cid, that is XD )

[Jamos]

Silent Hill. What happens when you put together great looking monsters with grade A special effects? I thought the answer would be "a kick ass movie." God, was I ever wrong. Terrible acting, bad writing, unscarey. They also had to include a monster that shouldn't be there in the first place. Well, technically anyone with a dark past that has seen the painting of Pyramid Head could possibly be haunted by him... However, Rose knows little to nothing about the town, has no troubling past (that we know of), and never even seen anything about PH. So in conclusion, bull****!

[Wavelength]

Monsters Inc.: What a letdown after the joy that was Shrek! Too cliche, way too saccharine, and the plot was underdeveloped. And the only funny parts (besides the great "outtakes" at the end) were all spoiled in the commercials.

True Lies: Maybe this one isn't fair to put up, because I saw it when I was like ten years old. But I remember it being an absolute mess of violence and cliche, even at that age, and a reminder of why I don't like Action movies.

The Truman Show: Definitely not the worst movie I've ever seen, but probably the most boring. Big disappointment from Jim Carrey.

Pearl Harbor: Too easy, you say? Yeah, you're probably right.

Meet the Fockers: I actually know a lot of people who liked this one. I personally found it to be an awkward jumble of unlikable characters, misplaced jokes, and a completely insipid plot. There were some genuinely funny scenes, but they could have been watched on a highlight reel without losing any of the effect.

The Second Half of Mr. and Mrs. Smith: As if the telegraphed "twist" and absurd romance halfway through the movie weren't bad enough, everything past that point involves the titular characters disloyally shooting up a bunch of so-called assassins that can't hit a man-sized target from 10 feet. Why not rename this movie "The Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship"?

[Riotsword]

I'll repeat my previous statement in the other topic and include Rob Zombie's version of Halloween. Basically, not only is it a bad movie, it's something that's meant to entertain me, but only ends up ******* me off, and not because I thought the original is superior(it is).

[Kire]

I hate A Bug's Life...it's byfar my least fav Pixar movie. It's seen as a good movie, yet it's just so...painfully formulaic.

[Wavelength]

Anyone want to be a real man and profess their eternal hate for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? :p (I personally liked it, so I can't be that man.)

[Riotsword]

Are you meaning the one with Johnny Depp, or the original and you confused the names?

I thought the Depp version was okay, much more true to the book, but I grew up with the Gene Wilder one, and he's the only real saving grace of that movie looking back at it. I mean, bad-acid-trip boat ride? Seriously, in a kid's movie? And the fact that it's a musical gives it serious negative points from me.

[Red Dragon]

Oompa Loompas in the original are the greatest things ever.

I'm tempted to merge this with the horrible movies thread and slap a new title on it.
Do it.

[Wavelength]

Are you meaning the one with Johnny Depp, or the original and you confused the names?

Oops, yeah, I meant the original. Fixed. Thank you.

[Jamos]

I mean, bad-acid-trip boat ride? Seriously, in a kid's movie? And the fact that it's a musical gives it serious negative points from me.
B..b...but the acid trip was awesome and everyone loves the Oompa Loompas. :tear

[Riotsword]

I just thought of it as an unfortunate byproduct of the times the movie was made in.

I did forget to mention the Oompa Loompas, I did like them in the original flick, much more than the modern one(s).

[altoecko]

Juno. ****ing annoying. stereotypical, formulaic, and incredibly one-dimensional.

NOOOOOO

THEY'VE DONE AWAY WITH NEGATIVE REP. I AM POWERLESS AND IMPOTENT IN MY RAGE. Arrrg. :hulksmash

[Big Rick Cook]

Yeah. Juno didn't strike me as terribly formulaic. It's not the best movie of its kind out there, but it's certainly not the worst, either. It was kinda funny and cute in a melodramatic way. And I like most of the soundtrack. =3

I'm not fond at all of Troma's terrible messes, and I've seen so many of them because my brother is a fan. I guess I hate Troma and its movies. Well, almost all of them. Buttcrack and Decampitated were kinda fun and funny.

I'm also an avid hater of Van Helsing. Because so many people apparently liked it, and it's such a ****heap of a movie.

[John Mora]

On my own, I just thought the Bourne movies were average. It's all of YOU that have made me turn that into hatred. THEY'RE JUST OKAY. DON'T CALL THEM THE BEST SPY MOVIES EVER, OR THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR OR WHATEVER.

[Big Rick Cook]

I only liked the third one for its parallels with the first one. And I like Julia Stiles. =3

[John Mora]

Julia Stiles is talentless.

[Big Rick Cook]

But she's got CHARISMA.

And boobs.

[John Mora]

Her face is sooooooo flat.

[Big Rick Cook]

I liked watching her panic in Edmond. =3

[Kire]

People tend to forget that the majority of the original Chocolate Factory sucks balls.

[Funk]

Donnie Darko

Mulholland Dr.

The Talented Mr. Ripley

Grease 2

Planet of the Apes (2001)

[Crimson Knight]

People tend to forget that the majority of the original Chocolate Factory sucks balls.
CHOCOLATE, SALTY BALLS!?

Yeah... I'm sorry. :(

I hate every movie that has TV previews. I mean, you wanna see the movie at first, you see the previews and you're like "Wow, I wanna see that movie!" And then when you finally see it, you realize the only good parts were the ones in the previews on TV... that and you wasted $10 just to see it when you could've waited for a home release.

[John Mora]

People tend to forget that the majority of the original Chocolate Factory sucks balls.

Nuh uh.

[Denmo]

The original Wonka was classic.

The new one has its moments, but it's too Tim Burton-ized, if that was an actual term.

Movies I absolutely despise? I could say Open Water, but that one is so laughably horrible it actually provided some entertainment.

Oh wait, I know.

Star Wars 1-3.

[Nixon]

Forrest Gump.

It's the biggest load of bile I've ever seen puked up onto the big screen.

If you like this movie, come to my house so I can punch you in the face.

[John Mora]

I want to hate it so badly, but a part of my wussy heart is always tugged by the ending. It's manipulative as ****, but I can't help it.

[Nixon]

Are you kidding? It just gets more and more unbelieveable and stupid as it goes on. The ending panders to all the sentimental fools who thought the rest of this garbage film was "heart warming."

[Denmo]

I think you'll have to punch me Nix. :(

[Big Rick Cook]

Me too.

[Nixon]

Take a number and form a line to the right.

[Dreamknight]

*grabs ticket number 3*

[Nixon]

Have you guys actually watched this recently? Were you sober?

[Dreamknight]

But he inspired John Lennon to write "Imagine"!

[Denmo]

Yes I have, and yes I was.

It's not the best freakin' movie ever, but I'm a Tom Hanks fan. I watched it for his one-liner moments like, "Sometimes, there's just not enough rocks."

Besides, people say I look like Forrest.

[highwind]

I like the punching line.

[Nixon]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Nixon/richardnixon140a-1.jpg

[Big Rick Cook]

I admit, I watched it a couple of years ago at the last, and I was rather inebriated. I just wanted to be with the cool kids. D=

But yeah, I really do like it. For all its emotional manipulation, it does a god-damned good job at it. Way better than Pay It Forward could ever hope to manage.

[John Mora]

I SAID I RECOGNIZED THE MOVIE'S FAKE AS HELL, NIXON

[josh]

haha, I love Forrest Gump. at the very least, you have to admit that Tom Hanks does a great job in it.

[Nixon]

I don't know you people.

[Big Rick Cook]

I've never seen so many people aligned against Nixon before. This is amazing.

[Chad]

How can you hate Forrest Gump and pretend to have a heart?

[Jamos]

I can't figure how it is physically possible to not like Forrest Gump. It is a good movie. No exceptions. :p

[Ωbright]

There wasn't enough insulin in the world to shield me from that diabetic onslaught. I didn't like Forrest Gump, and the fact that the ending actually got to my sucker ass just made me hate it more.

But it's not my most-hated movie, by far. That would be 'HAPPINESS'.

[Jamos]

I think this is the first time someones correct grammar made them incorrect. If that is the movie with Will Smith then in is "Happyness." Poor grammar FTW. :|

[Chuck]

I don't think I've seen Forrest Gump all the way through. I've seen parts, maybe even most, but not in one sitting. Don't really care to.

The following are so bad they require no explanation and though some people may get some perverse enjoyment out of them anyone who thinks they're actually good must be insane.
- Blade Trinity
- Jason X
- Hulk
- Elm Street 6 Freddy's Dead

I'll think of more.

[John Mora]

Hulk didn't turn out good, but it has so much tarnished potential, it's not in me to hate it. I love it like a mother loves her blind, deaf, retarded son.

[Ωbright]

I think this is the first time someones correct grammar made them incorrect. If that is the movie with Will Smith then in is "Happyness." Poor grammar FTW. :|

Nope.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d106/localgods/Happiness.jpg

[Jamos]

Oh, well in that case I nominate Happyness. For the sole reason of it just being a depressing flick with almost no happiness in it.

The following are so bad they require no explanation and though some people may get some perverse enjoyment out of them anyone who thinks they're actually good must be insane.
Hey! Us insane people have better taste than that. We are insulted. :upset

[John Mora]

Oh, well in that case I nominate Happyness.

It's called The Pursuit of Happyness.

[Jamos]

More like The Pursuit of Grumpyness.

[Nixon]

How can you hate Forrest Gump and pretend to have a heart?

How can you like Forrest Gump and pretend to have a brain?
:p

Since I've already put some people's undies in a twist, I'll add:

Dancer in the Dark, AKA Bjork's shakey cam/ham fest. I liked all the musical parts. It was just impossible to suspend my disbelief towards the end.

2001: a venture to movie hell.

Top Gun - GOOOOSE, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Oh wait, he's dead. Ahahahaha.

[Goufunaki]

Alright, I gotta add....

Napoloen Dynamite. I just didn't get the humor. I had to shut off the movie after about 30 minutes because it was just annoying.

[highwind]

For the record I love Happiness and think it's hilarious.

It is by FAR the darkest comedy I've ever seen.

By. ****ing. Far.

[SirTMagus]

Napoleon Dynamite is garbage. And SHREK is garbage, too. Who the **** connected it to Monsters, Inc.? That movie has more imagination in its little finger than Shrek could ever dreEEEEEAAAAAAAAam of.

Also, Forrest Gump sucks.

I VOTE FOR NIXON.

:convoy

So does Doom.

And so does X3.

and so does van helsing

[American Hero]

Can't believe someone doesn't like Forest Gump. It will go down in history as one of the greatest movies ever!

[SirTMagus]

Two.

Two people don't like Forrest Gump.

[John Mora]

I anti-vote for Nixon because I wuv Dancer in the Dark. :3

[Chad]

Two.

Two people don't like Forrest Gump.

Come on now. Nixon is a girl. Girls don't count.

[Chuck]

Three.

Three people don't like Forrest Gump.

Ah ah ah ah!
http://lovebscott.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/sesame_street_count_dracula-103107.jpg

[Kit Carruthers]

Four.

I like Dancer in the Dark a lot though.

[Jamos]

Sorry to hear that the four of you have no souls. :tear

For the hell of it, I'm going to mention one that will probably get people upset. Scarface... because it is too damn popular yet nothing interesting happens until the very end. Not that I need big gun fights every 10 minutes, but I got tired of all the damn talking. Which is about all that they do in the movie. If I want to watch people talk I'll just watch you guys. Much more intertaining. Ready your stones.

[Chuck]

You're watching us? AHHHH!!! Get your dang spy cameras out of my house! :shakefist

[Red Dragon]

Ehh...

I like Forrest Gump. I actually watched it twice in a row.

I don't drink or do drugs so I must have been sober.

I like films that are crazy and unbelievable though. Not because it was "heart-warming."

Although I only really liked it up till the end of the war part.

For a movie I hate...

Rocky 5.

I'm sorry, 1-4 were great 5 didn't feel like a rocky movie to me.

[Kire]

yes, it was so bad, Tommy Morrison got AIDS.

[highwind]

How can you ABHOR Scarface?

ABHOR?

Do you even know how strong a word that is?

And you ABHOR Scarface?

COME ON.

Abhor?

[Jamos]

Explained why I do.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

And yes.

[John Mora]

Saw. Shut yer goddamn mouth, Cary Elwes.

[highwind]

Explained why I do.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

And yes.
Ah, yes. Your explanation about how you don't like so much...talking.

In movies.

Yes.

[Kit Carruthers]

I'm not a huge fan of Scarface, but if you don't like talking in movies are you sure you like talking in general?

Do you find yourself getting really bored in the middle of conversations and asking the person you're talking to when the shooting starts?

[Biggie]

SLC Punk, do I really have to explain myself?

My retarded friend Colleen made me watch this garbage.

Honorable mention, The Wall.

I can't help but love the movie, music, animation, but ugh.....

Once I found out "The Wall" basically was, I just can't help but think its gay.

Still though, I can watch some scenes of it over and over.

And I agree with Nixon about Forrest Gump.

I don't think its atrocious.

But I get sick of actors who win awards for acting retarded.

**** I can act ****ing retarded too.

[Ωbright]

Once I found out "The Wall" basically was, I just can't help but think its gay.

Yup. Basically, the wall is. Existance is SO gay.

[Kit Carruthers]

...

[edit: err... @ bigfoot. well now the bluntness of it is ruined. oh well.]

[Wavelength]

Forrest Gump.

It's the biggest load of bile I've ever seen puked up onto the big screen.

If you like this movie, come to my house so I can punch you in the face.

Yeah, you've been wailed enough on for your wrong (just playing!) opinion enough already, but I'd go so far as to say I consider Forrest Gump to be the best movie ever made.

[Chuck]

But I get sick of actors who win awards for acting retarded.

**** I can act ****ing retarded too.
But it's not impressive if the person can ONLY act retarded. :p

[Crimson Knight]

Do you find yourself getting really bored in the middle of conversations and asking the person you're talking to when the shooting starts?
I do. After all that talkin', I go "Man, when is the action gonna start?" On a night out with a bunch of guys, it ends in stripper orgies. On a date with a girl, it usually ends at home, with pants down and lotion in hand.

(notice I said usually...there are rare occurrences of mutual desire :lol)

[josh]

But it's not my most-hated movie, by far. That would be 'HAPPINESS'.

aw but Happiness is a good movie... :p

[John Mora]

Yup. Basically, the wall is. Existance is SO gay.

Do you ever wish "beard" was a movie genre?

[Ωbright]

It IS.
:mora

[Jamos]

I'm not a huge fan of Scarface, but if you don't like talking in movies are you sure you like talking in general?

Do you find yourself getting really bored in the middle of conversations and asking the person you're talking to when the shooting starts?
Its not so much talking as it is talking about stuff that I couldn't care less about and find boring. I also have ADD so that may be a big factor. If I'm going to sit through several hours they better have something exciting going on in between. Other than the occasional wacking, I was left with an empty feeling.

As for being in a conversation and the like, that would spice things up a bit. :3

[American Hero]

4!?!

This is one of the signs of the End of Days. I read it in the bible.

[SirTMagus]

How can you ABHOR Scarface?

ABHOR?

Do you even know how strong a word that is?

And you ABHOR Scarface?

COME ON.

Abhor?
In his defense, Brian De Palma is a very silly director.

And lots of dopes (read: POOR SPANISH PEOPLE) love Scarface.

[highwind]

I LOVE FORREST GUMP.
