INDIANA JONES & THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL Tops Total Film's 50 Most Hated List

INDIANA JONES & THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL Tops Total Film's 50 Most Hated List

The mag has released the 50 movies they feel are the most fan-blasted around. Along with Indy's most recent outing there are another few CBMs in the top 10, and a LOT more scattered about the 50!..

As you will see by flicking through the list, there are a lot of movies on there that aren't actually bad - in fact there are a few great ones! But fanboy gripes, astronomical expectations or just plain overkill seems to have relegated a few to Total Film's 50 most hated. Of course many deserve to be on there too. Topping the list is the undeniably disappointing, but perhaps not quite as bad as you might think, Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. Among the top 10 we also have the second Transformers, Joel Schumacher's abomination, The Phantom Menace and the Bond flick Die Another Day. You definitely won't dislike all of the movies mentioned, but it's hard to argue that a lot of people out there just don't like em!..



10. DIE ANOTHER DAY
9. HOUSE OF THE DEAD
8. TITANIC
7. TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
6. BATMAN AND ROBIN
5. PSYCHO (1998)
4. TWILIGHT
3. FORREST GUMP
2. STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE
1. INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL


Other CBMs that make the cut are Daredevil, Superman Returns, Constantine, Fantastic Four (2005), The Spirit, Spider-Man 3, The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, X-Men 3, Hulk (2003) and Catwoman. There are also a whole host of CBM related/Sci-fi movies - in fact I'd say they make up most of the 50. Click to link below to check em out.

Well hate is a strong word. Strongly dislike with a fiery passion... I don't disagree with any of the movies.

I liek that you don't even mention what we all know, ror. The unmentionable. Great find. I personally would have placed Transformers 2 at the top of the list followed by the first GI Joe movie.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything bad about Forrest Gump.

I've never heard of anyone hating Forrest Gump. I really did hate Die Another Day and Transformers 2 though. I fell asleep during Indie 4 and The Phantom Menace was meant for 5 year olds.

No Ghost Rider? I guess that tops the list of least cared about movies.

Gump and Titanic have a LOT of haters. I think it's because of over-saturation and that they are so highly praised..while being, lets admit, not expertly crafted movie by any stretch of the imagination! I would say the schmaltz factor plays in to it too. I don't hate either of them, but I don't particularly like either of them that much either. Did when I was a nipper though.

I thought Crystal Skull was decent. Not near as good as the first three films, but I thought it was entertaining enough.
I would've put Batman & Robin and Catwoman at the very top. And Twilight of course.

Here is what they say about those two..

Why It Was Hated: The trivialisation of a major real-life disaster via cardboard characters, dodgy stereotypes and a manipulative central romance that asks us to care for Kate and Leo while hundreds of extras fall to their icy deaths.

Typical Online Review: "The problem with "Titanic" is that it's hideous incompetency cloaked in legitimacy. It looks good, crisp, exact, precise - just like all movies do these days. But the disgustingly bad characters and manipulative quality ruin everything."

And Gump..

Why It Was Hated: The chocolate-box sentiment, hiding a reactionary vision of American society in which protest is punished and stupidity reigns. Oh, and beating Pulp Fiction and Shawshank to the Oscars didn't help.

Typical Online Review: "Gump's wisdom is so cliché it fails even to rise to the level of platitude. "Life is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get." I hate to point out the obvious fact that most boxes of chocolate come with a little slip telling you exactly where to find the coconut crunch, but I think it illustrates a useful point. (Also, how wacked out of your mind do you have to be to accept candy from a mongoloid stranger on a park bench?)."

Are you [frick]ing Kidding Me?! Forrest Gump is one of the best movies out there! God I hate this 'we have to hate whatever everybody likes' trend rippling through society

MarkCassidy - 3/5/2012, 12:36 PM
Nomis, as someone who likes The Phantom Menace and hates Pulp Fiction, did you ever consider that just maybe a lot of other people, including the guys at Total Film, don't exactly share your definition of what's good and bad?..just sayin!

You guys really never heard the Gump hate? Maybe it's a lot more prominent outside of the US..

6. BATMAN AND ROBIN - yeah we all know
5. PSYCHO (1998) - never knew it existed
4. TWILIGHT - just horrible. the transformers 2 of vampire movies (all of these movies)

2. STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE - the transformers 2 of star wars
1. INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL- wouldnt had been so bad had heavy use of CGI and aliens not appeared. it also had glowing rocks and no nazis!!!! like temple of doom!!!

I don't think the list is about most hated BAD films. It's easy to hate a bad film, regardless of who the targeted audience is.

Films like Forrest Gump and Titanic, on the other hand, were fairly well received among both critics and movie goers, but I'm not surprised they're on this list, mainly because there are those niche groups of people who despise films solely on the magnitude of their cultural impact.

nuck82 - 3/5/2012, 12:45 PM
people hate forest gump?? that right there makes this list bullshit, only nazis hate forest gump, and i bet half of them still like it.. im looking at you gassy ;)

I see a list like this and I'm reminded of a bumper sticker I've seen: "Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups." Most of these movies DON'T suck. A handful do, (although NOT the "top two", despite what the pretentious jagoffs think,) but most of 'em are pretty good, fun entertainment.

All i've really found so far by searching for Forrest Gump hate is : 'I didnt like it because Pulp Fiction should have won the Oscar'

I kid you not... that is the most popular reason I've found to hate Forrest Gump

and one thing that said, "It gives stupid people a reason to be optimistic which it shouldn't"
