I've heard that if you liked Guardians of the Galaxy there was a good chance you didn't like GOTG Vol2, and visa versa. I believe that because while I liked the first one-i HATED GOTG Vol 2.

Al the characters felt flanderized

The movie was laughing way too hard at its own jokes.

And I call BS on that whole Yondu thing at the end, where in the last 5 minutes I'm supposed to care about a character whose been almost another antagonist through the series. I'm not buying it Disney.

i agree with all but the wizard of oz and GOTG2. LOVE them both!
miracle on 34th street is mine, HATE that movie!

I'm seconding Wizard of Oz, but I have a particularly personal reason for hating it:

My 5th grade class (circa 1981) performed "Wizard of Oz" as a stage play for the entire school, and yours truly was cast as the Cowardly Lion. (If you'd known 11 year old me you'd probably say, "Oh, that's perfect casting," but dammit, I auditioned for the Tin Man. They gave that to a kid who could barely speak English!)

Anyway, as part of the preparation for said play, we watched scenes from the movie over and over AND OVER AND OVER again....

When performance time came, words cannot describe the humiliation I suffered standing on stage in front of what seemed like the entire world, wearing a cheap lion costume with "whiskers" drawn on my face and a tail pinned to my ass.

As an added bonus, the girl who played "Dorothy," in addition to being a total b***ch who hated my guts, had not quite finished going through puberty yet, so she couldn't sing worth a spit. Hearing her squeak out "Over the Rainbow" dozens of times in rehearsals started out as unintentional comedy ("Sooooome...WHEEEEEEEERE... (crack) over the (squawk) RAIN-BOOOOOWWWW....") but eventually became sheer torture.

To this day if I hear that damn song I break out in hives.

I swore once that experience ended that I would have nothing to do with "Oz" ever again.

ah yes, that awkward moment during a girl's teenage years when her voice hasn't quite broken yet.... erm.hang on, what. you sure she wasn't a he? you know, like a he she, she's a he not a she, mrs doubtfire stylee?

Here's the original thread, if anyone is interested in reading old opinions.

http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,149140.0.html

Got plenty of examples because I'm one of those annoying people that sees something extremely popular and has to hate it, but I'll just copy the one from there:

I know this is hardocre necro, but it's a nice thread to keep going, and I did wanted to say something about a movie I saw recently: The Big Lebowski.

It was nearly impossible for me to even trying to form a smile in my face while watching this crap. Awful, simply awful. The "jokes" were so unfunny and predictable that I almost cried (the car smashing scene, to give a quick example).

BTW, regarding SUPER TROOPERS, my favorite comedy of all times: I've tried to show it to plenty of people to see if they like it, so far I havent' had any luck. I don't know a single person that actually enjoyed it.

What? No love for 4?

Besides that there are no movies that I could think of that I loathed while others love them.
The closest thing would be ET I guess. I don't hate it, but I only saw it once or twice in my life and I don't have any emotional connection with this movie tbh.

A Christmas Story

The Butterfly Effect. This is a bad movie and not a good bad movie, or a good movie. It's just bad.
