What was the first ever film you actually really hated so much and still do to this day?

Gotta be Eragon for me. When I was a kid I feel like I never saw a bad movie, it was when I walked out of the theater for Eragon was when I realized movies could actually be really bad

Kangaroo Jack. The trailer f****** lied. It's not about a rapping kangaroo. The movie is f****** terrible. And it's one thing to be terrible. I've seen my fair share of terrible movies. But this wasn't even the film advertised. If this had just been a terrible film about a rapping kangaroo, all would be forgiven. You gave me what you promised. But they didn't f****** do that. It was the classic bait and switch. Which is the reason why it's so hated. Yes, it's f****** terrible. But because it f****** lied.

Remembered Kangaroo Jack! F*** that advertisement! I wanted more cool kangaroo!!!

Son of the mask

Downsizing. Amazing concept and actors but it turned into clichéd pile of shit.

The Water Babies. It used to be on the BBC what felt like every Sunday afternoon. It’s such a great example of films adults think children should like. There’s no fun to it, it’s Victorian children should be seen and not heard misery. You know what I liked as a boy in the 1980s? Star Wars! Oh, gee, I wonder why Star Wars is one of the biggest media franchises in history and nobody here even knows that the f****** Water Babies is.

Meet the Spartans. I went as a kid with some friends and I literally left the movie 20 minutes in and just sat in the arcade while I waited for my friends to finish it

The Happening. Went to it on my 25th birthday in the theater. Was so pissed. I should have walked out...still have not recovered from the stupidity.

I remember being so excited to go see The Golden Compass (2007) after watching the trailer, showing bits of a high stake moment between the characters near the end of the story. I was so taken aback those parts never made it to the final cut, with the movie ending in a complete different way.

'Somehow, Palpatine returned.' I didn't even get past the rest.

Jaws 3D. Still a kid, still hyped up about another sequel, and in oh-so-cool for the times 3D. It sure sucked, in full on 3D.

The Master of Disguise was the movie that made me realize that movies could be bad.

Pacific Rim 2

Mine was American Sniper. That thing is so insanely pro American and vile, that it made me really mad. Normally I can stomach the usual amount of American propaganda but this one was so awful, I hated Bradley Cooper for appearing in it. Every pro war soldier is portrayed as good, every doubtful soldier dies and Iraqis are all evil and rotten to the core. It's like a movie made in Nazi Germany. It's the only movie I actually hate. That it came out afterwards that Chris Kyle fabricated most of his own story, is really the cherry on top. God, I hate this movie!

Transformers 2 for me - saw it opening weekend after loving the first one and felt genuinely cheated by the time it ended, the runtime alone felt like punishment and nothing that happened in it mattered at all, still brings up mild frustration when someone mentions it

Mine was The Last Airbender. I remember being so excited for it and then just sitting there wondering how it went so wrong. I’m still salty about it years later.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. All I knew going in was that Gualtier was doing the costuming and it was supposed to have the same vibes as The Fifth Element. It was a giant piece of hot garbage. The costuming was disappointing, the CGI was awful, the acting even worse, and the dialogue, especially for the MCs, was vomitous. I don't even remember the plot because everything else was so incredibly horrible.

Highlander 2. In a dollar theater. Wanted my dollar back

My brothers rented Meet The Spartans. I believe I stopped watching when "Paris Hilton" came on screen like 15 minutes in. It was all just so bad.

The live action Cat in the Hat was the first time I remember thinking a movie was bad. It scared the shit out of me as a kid

It's either "Transformers: The Last Knight" or "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" and the more that I think about it, it's probably Star Wars.

Dragonball Evolution, I don’t think anything more needs to be said.

David harbor Hellboy.

Deadgirl. I used to love creepy edgy indie art House films. Honestly I still kind of do. Took pride in not even blinking at the horrific things. That one broke me. I won't recount the plot. I won't recommend that you watch it. I don't recommend that you even read the synopsis. I will however recommend that you never watch this movie. I'm aware this exact kind of warning that young me would have found an enticing challenge. If you're going "oooh I gotta check this one out now" don't. Just don't. EDIT: removed space.

The Dark Tower. If that movie existed, I’d really hate it

Tusk. Watched it with my wife and I don't think she's ever seen anything by Kevin Smith. We both still bring up how awful that movie is.

The Golden Compass. Thought it was absolutely atrocious when I saw it as a kid.  It was a rare moment my dad took me to go do something that wasn't one of his interests, and I remember a quiet ride home up until I spoke about how bad the movie was and then we both just laid into it. Irregardless of the source materials (hah) being my favorite book series at the time, I could just tell it was bad.

Dumb and Dumber To. Still hate it when I randomly see gifs of that movie in comment sections.

Spider-Man 3. I don’t know if I still hate it per se, but something about how the memes have kind of laundered its reputation annoys me a little lol.

Dude I remember watching that as a kid and being so confused about why anyone thought this was a good premise for a movie lol. The whole time I'm just thinking about how gross it would be and wondering if the actors actually had to eat anything nasty during filming

The English Patient. F****** die already.

Crash 2004. I remember the buzz it got and I thought it was going to be amazing.. it was the first movie I can ever remember being mad that I wasted my time and money on.

Space Jam 2: A New Legacy. There's a lot of bad movies I've enjoyed. I'm a lover of terrible found footage horror movies. I actually enjoyed Rise of Skywalker (you may now point and laugh). I was aware that Gigli is bad, but it didn't stick with me. Space Jam 2? The only good things are the 2d animation, the voice cast, and Don Cheadle knowing EXACTLY WHAT MOVIE HE IS IN. Everything else in that movie is Warner Brothers Studio furiously jorking it while staring in the mirror like Patrick Bateman during sex.

Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. Being a huge fan of, what was then, sort of a more niche game series in my social circles at least, I was so excited that we were getting a movie about it. I naively thought that they would be adapting one of the current games and never really kept up with any information about the movie until it released. Only for it to be barely related to Final Fantasy at all. There was a character called Sid (not the correct spelling but sure, why not) and that was it. It could have, and should have, been a standalone movie with no connection to Final Fantasy. And the only decent character died at the end.

Holmes & Watson. Didn’t even make it half way through. Very disappointing since I loved Talladega Nights and Step Brothers.

The Polar Express... I can't handle the animations. It's just a weird movie overall.

Pinocchio (2002)

Second Hobbit movie. The first one was pretty bad, but the second one was utter garbage. Never saw the third one, and never will.

F****** Crash. The best picture of 2004

Matrix 4. There's a lot of discussion about 2 and 3 being bad. Then comes 4 and completely shits the bed.

I’ve seen a lot of “bad” movies and while most had something I enjoyed at least a little, I cannot say that for Darkness (2002). The premise was standard haunted house stuff but the execution and acting was terrible. Is there a mystery or strange happening? Why is it like that? Don’t worry, they’ll exposition dump to tell you what’s going on immediately. No suspense or mystery, at least past a couple of minutes. Are we going to talk about the story and explain what’s going on? Better whisper below the music and sound effects so you can’t hear anything, even in a movie theatre. Surely the scares are good? Not really at all. Even when they show a thing in shadows, it’s not even close to threatening or scary. It’s not even goofy so you can laugh at it. It’s just bad. Maybe there’s a redeemable ending, a reward for putting up with this bad movie? Nope. Everyone alive probably dies, but you don’t know that because it cuts to black at the end and credits roll. Most of the movies on this post have a redeemable a quality. A “at least it had this” or some kind of shitty detail or scene that you make fun of after the fact. Darkness does not give you even that. The only thing I have left is my hatred for this movie to the point I cannot make fun of it or laugh about my poor decisions. It’s the only movie where there was a line afterwards to get a refund and EVERYONE who went to my showing was in line for it. Darkness is bad. Don’t watch it.

Four Christmases. It pissed me off so much that they had a kid in the end.

Godzilla '98. Only movie I ever just walked out of the theater on. Also for some godforsaken reason friends and family who didn't see it or know how shitty it was kept gifting it to me and I ended up with 4 copies of it lol

500 Days of Summer

I remember really hating "Getting Even With Dad".

English Patient

Both Star Wars 8 and 9

Batman v Superman. I have never walked out of a movie so angry at what I just watched. The movie misunderstood its characters so completely and was just a massive pile of garbage. The fact that it has become a rallying point for disgusting right-wing douchebags has only served to further compound my hatred for this film.
