Sonic the Hedgehog - If they hadn't reworked his design. That movie was hated & fans wanted it canceled way before it's release.

You didn't mention Disney's delayed, controversial and still not released live-action reboot of "Snow White", which nobody wants and I hope is never released.

VENOM had the writer from 50 SHADES OF GREY (who is also directing THE LAST DANCE)

MORBIUS had the writers from GODS OF EGYPT (Who are also behind MADAME WEB)

And KRAVEN THE HUNTER has the writers from TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT

AVI ARAD doomed this cinematic universe the same way he doomed TASM series

Furries found _Cats_ to be repulsive, which is _not_ a good sign.

'Cats' hit the 'uncanny valley' - faces were too human, female cats had breasts, the scale of bodies was wrong. No wonder it creeped people out!

The only decent thing about The Emoji movie is that Jordan Peele was so offended over being offered the role of Poop Emoji, that he decided to quit acting, and focus on directing instead. As a result, he created some of the greatest horror movies in recent years.

To be fair, most of these films actually ended up being bad anyway.

I actually liked “The Hunt”. It’s action packed and darkly hilarious. It’s like Hunger Games exclusively for adult viewers. I think it’s overhated.

"50 Shades of Gray" is basically "Twilight" fanfic

[jakerocinante]

Twilight was hated by my 3 younger sisters for very specific reasons. 1st sister a nurse, the entire series encouraged self destructive teenage behavior. 2nd sister theater major, the lead character is an obvious Mary Sue, the dialogue is lame and the premise is stupid. 3rd sister worked at a theater at the time and frequently read books, same criticism as 2nd sister about the source material and after seeing a bunch of teenage and middle age woman screaming and talking dirty going to the premiere really hated Twilight.

*Cats looked so stupid the second I saw the trailer for it. And there’s no way the 2016 ghostbusters had more hate than cats.*

[Robert-eyxh]

For me Joker, TMNT(2014), Amazing Spider-Man were pretty good so they didn't deserve any hate.I didn't care for Ghostbusters (2016).

[BladeStar-uqxe]

Battleship was stupid! As a Navy man there's no way that one guy would have been allowed in the Navy, much less an officer after the crimes he committed early on!

[tristanflynn]

I don't remember anyone up in arms that a pale Scotsman played a Spartan in 300. People are weird.

[myfriendcaffeine-tbfn]

"I really hope they make a movie version of Cats" said no one ever in the entire universe.

[kamsismith]

Back to Black. While the movie isn't out in America yet, many people have criticized the movie for exploiting Amy Winehouse’s pain and trauma for entertainment and that we already have a documentary that treats her with humanity and empathy. The still shots weren't any better either.

[COMPFUNK]

I really don’t think Ghostbusters deserved all the flack it received. One thing I _will_ say though, is that Chris Hemsworth’s character was unnecessary.

[HULLGRAFFITI]

Ppl who have never actually read or seen the original 'Ghost in the Shell' clearly didn't know that the Majors character is specifically called 'a western model' cyborg

[samqualls]

The only thing good about Dragon Ball Evolution is that it was so bad it got DB creator Akira Toriyama to become involved in the franchise again. He worked directly with the production team on DBZ Battle of the Gods and everything after it until his passing this year.
