So I got
this book by Roger Ebert last Christmas. It is a collection of reviews of movies he hated. Here is an example of one he really hated,
Alien Resurrection, written by you-know-who.

Artistically, the film will have no impact at all. It's a nine days' wonder, a geek show designed to win a weekend or two at the box office and then fade from memory. Try this test: It's been five months since "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" opened. How often do you think about it?
So Kittens, what movie do you REALLY hate?
Now keep in mind I love bad movies. I have entire seasons of MST3k committed to memory, but some movies are just inexcusable. And that is what this thread is all about.
Remember, not everyone has the same tastes. Just cause I hated a movie doesn’t mean that it was a bad movie (well…).
The movie I really, really loathe is
Saturday Night Fever.
Gods, this movie could not have pissed me off more. Let me quickly recount it’s crimes.
Disco. The Disco era. The 70s in general. The Bee Gees. John Travolta And John Travolta. I mention him twice cause I just can’t stand him.
Blow Out I liked.
Pulp Fiction was great. And that is it. Yes, I hated
Grease too.
Answer me this, was I supposed to feel something other than contempt and disgust for his character? This self absorbed loser that only worries about going out to dance and his hair? Cause if I was, it immediately would have turned to out right loathing after he tries to rape his girlfriend. Then at the end we are supposed to feel sorry for him?
Hey he gets what he deserves in the end. He has to appear in a bad 80’s sequel with a soundtrack featuring Frank Stallone.
If I want to watch a movie about idiots living in New York in the 70’s I’ll watch
Warriors. At least that is a fun one to bring up while drinking.
So, what movies do you hate and why? Cuase I have a ton.
