For me it is Watchmen, ok I've not read the comic but I found the movie simply awful. Poor acting, big blue wang and a terribly predictable storyline.

Second up is Bladerunner, i found it enjoyable but not amazing. This could be because I didn't see it in its prime and the effects were quite common by the time I did. I tried the ne release recently but couldn't get going on it.
 
The Twilight trilogy. I refuse to call it The Twilight Saga as that just ups the pretentiousness even further. All the women I know are obsessed with it. It's terrible.

Dawsons Creek with Fangs :p
 
About half of Kubrick's work inc. A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove and 2001: A Space Odyssey. He may be one of the greatest directors ever by critical acclaim, and maybe it's just a coincidence that he happens to write and direct a lot of films I don't like, but I don't see the fascination. Love Full Metal Jacket though.
 
District 9 - I was told it was a great film but was total garbage.

I've never quite got into the Harry Potter stuff either.. The ones i have seen I've fallen asleep right in the middle.. Just never got them. Such a big following yet everyone I know who's into it says "oh the book's are better". So by their own self admission, they are carp!

Aye, it is.

I like all the films mentioned above, but I do think The Godfather films and Blade Runner are overrated.

Watchmen wasn't bad, but it's not a patch on the book.
