I can't say I have any I hate, rather some I've seen way too many times. Avatar and Lucy are two that come to mind.

Most of the Transformers movies look and sound great. However, I wouldn't say any of them are cinematic works of art.

Another one (dare I say), The Fifth Element. It's a longtime AV enthusiast goto for demos but for me, it's a bit too out there storywise and I love a good SciFi flick.

I agree about Transformers. Great AV material but the story is very weak. lol. :)

Sure you didn't mean The Fifth Element? ::)

Well, I could put a few of the Terminator movies into that same category.

Don't forget the blatant product placement for Wilson sports. ;D

It has been a while since I saw it, but I remember liking Castaway.
