I would like to apologize to everyone for saying "omg".

I got caught up in a moment.
 
Also the second and third matrix movies.
 
Identity thief was the worst movie I've seen this year.

All the Spiderman movies are terrible.

omg, me too! Well, not the 15 or 16 part. I tried watching it about 5-8 years ago and just couldn't get into it (outside of a few scenes, and the sound track).

It was probably amazing when it came out, but hasn't aged well? I didn't really like it either, but i was also a kid when i tried to watch it.
 
I'm STILL livid about the 2 hours of my life I wasted on Napoleon Dynamite... almost a decade ago.
 
A few on here I kind of liked, actually.

I'll add Old School. So much hype. Part of it could just be me hating Will Ferrell, but did not care for it. I still mean to give it another shot, just to make sure it wasn't my mood that day, but was not a fan at all.
 
Not much of a movie buff. But some years ago a man who had just met me and knew essentially nothing about me needed to provide an evening entertainment (long story, not relevant) so he took me to a double feature. He said one was an action flick with Clint Eastwood and the other a romantic comedy. I thought I'd hate the first and like the second; it was the other way around. The first was In the Line of Fire. Eastwood's character was a total dick (so of course the much younger woman fell in love with him because he was an asshole, something I can't figure out) but the flick itself was pretty good, held interest and had a real story, not just shoot-em-up. Can't remember the name of the comedy, some nerd with an Elvis thing steals a suitcase full of cocaine and he and his girlfriend dodge bad guys trying to sell it. Aside from the fact that people selling suitcases of cocaine fit my category of bad guys, this flick had EVERY stereotype. The woman (young, white, blonde, even named Alabama) had been lured into prostitution by black pimps whose every word was profane, they were ruled by mob bosses who of course were Italian, there is a scene with movie moguls, Jewish of course. It was totally putrid.

true romance, tarantino wrote the script before he was big
 
oh, and it is awesome, and the pimp was white, gary oldman
 
I'm trying to think of one.. But I really only see movies I'm sure I'll like, so this rarely happens. I'll keep racking my brain.
 
This is really digging, showing my age ... Woodstock.

The music was fabulous but the movie? I was so totally alienated. Woodstock, at least in the movie, was totally a man's world. Men made music, built the stage, battled the rain, talked to local residents, were interviewed for the flick. Women cooked, fucked, took care of children. I don't recall a single woman participant speaking on screen and the only female performer they showed was Joan Baez, talking about her husband. And some of my friends were acting like it was some kind of utopia but I just said no thanks. The movie was Father Knows Best in tie-dye.
 
The Hangover 2 was really bad... Essentially the same movie.

A friend had recommended Swingers a lot. May have been the most boring movie I have ever seen.

Hated these the first time and they grew on me over time:

Zoolander
Napoleon dynamite
Super troopers

LOL! Yes, in a way but according to the IMDB they are filming a Prometheus 2 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316204/?ref_=sr_1

Maybe that's because the first "prequel" offered almost nothing of depth to fans of the originals, instead sticking to fancy CGI shots, inconsistent (and unlikeable) characters, and cheap, gross-out scare tactics?

They must have put all the substance in the second prequel.

Janis Joplin didn't make it into the movie?
 
On a different note, I think I'm gonna run out and rent Undefeated. Looks good.
 
I really wanted to like We Are Marshal (or maybe it was just called Marshal).

But it lacked an emotional punch (I did like Radio, even as cheesy as it was at times).
 
I don't think Janis Joplin was there - she certainly was not in the flick.
 
Sideways was annoying. Safety Not Guaranteed wasn't half as good as I was hoping, and when the thing happened that you wanted to happen, you realized you were stupid for wanting it to happen.
 
Batman Begins was unbelievably tedious. The Dark Knight was marginally better but it must be the most overrated movie in the history of time. Yeah, Heath Ledger is great. But he's only actually on screen for about 1/3 of the film, and the rest of the time is tedious and underlit. I haven't even bothered with the third one. What's the point, if the Penguin isn't going to be in it?

The drugs must have been too much for you. But she was not in the original movie release.
 
Spring Breakers

What a horrific pile of shit this ended up being. I thought it might be a satire flick like an Oliver Stone Natural Born Killers, or even a campy comedy that could make fun of itself. Instead, it was about ... what, exactly? I watched it because it is a Harmony Korine movie, so I thought it might be at the level of Kids. Instead, it may well be the worst movie I've seen in recent memory. Sharknado was more enjoyable by a longshot.

The only reason I watched the entire movie was because James Franco did his usual stellar job.
