Worst Movie(s) you have seen?

I liked Avatar, but it definitely reinforces my standard practice of "Wait at least two years before seeing any super-hyped movie that isn't comic-related." For years, all I heard about was how mind-blowing it was, and seeing it for the first time a few months ago, I can safely say that, while it's pretty good, for the most part all the hype was due to the "cutting-edge CGI" that still looks completely and jarringly fake when you see it on Blu-Ray years down the line.

As a general rule, I don't like being caught up in bandwagons or hype, and it's human nature to have your natural opinions overridden by what other people say. So usually, when everyone else loves something to death when it's brand new, I make it a point to wait until the hype dies down so I can form my own unbiased opinion. Most of the time, every "Best Thing Ever" is only that for the first five minutes it exists, and after that it's just Pretty Good in general.

Didn't hate the movie, glad I didn't pay theater prices for it.
