i have a question. what is the absolute worst film you have ever gone to see at the theater? no straight to DVD things and no picking things like the most recent star wars unless you REALLY mean it. i mean movies you were so pumped up for and ended up being rather disappointed or immensely disappointed or EXTREMELY disappointed (maybe even downright frothing at the mouth angry). unfortunately, i do not get to the movies much, but i have had this happen to me a few times. some examples:
final fantasy - i never anticipated how much it would bother me to have really famous people doing the voices. i think that more than anything ruined it for me. it was hard to suspend belief hearing a voice i recognized but not seeing a face a recognized.
sideways - i was not chomping at the bit to see it, but the reviews made it out to be really hilarious. in my opinion, i found it to be more depressing than funny. of course, lots of people loved it, so maybe I am the one off my rocker.
those are the only two i can think of right now. anyone else want to chime in?

American Hot Wax. Only flick I actually walked out on.
Woulda walked out of Forbidden Zone too, 'cept my ride wanted to stay.
$8 totally wasted. Shoulda just dropped it on the ground.

Blair witch project ... everyone talked during the movie since it was so boring and we left the cinema earlier.
And not in cinema but i rented the Psycho remake once .. and god was that bad... sometimes remakes should just be forbidden.

Well, I can't say I was excited to see it, but I did see it in the theater, and The Avengers (Ralph Feinnes, Sean Connery, and Uma) is the worst movie I have ever seen, anywhere. Here are just a few examples (if I thought about it, I'm sure I could come up with many more, but I've blocked them out of my memory and I have no desire to bring them to the surface):
1. Sean Connery plays the villain, and his climactic act is to screw up the weather. So there are storms, hurricanes, etc, and he makes his getaway in . . . a hot air balloon. Probably the single worst place to be in a hurricane.
2. A meeting is held between several bad guys, and they all wear bright colored teddy bear costumes. I think it was to hide their identities from each other, but come on. There has to be a better way. And later, when the "heroes" are running around some building, they're being chased by these teddy bears. It was actually quite funny, but it was supposed to be serious. If I was older and less law-abiding, I might have thought I was having a Jerry Garcia acid flashback.
3. Your name is Ralph. R-A-L-P-H. Not Rafe, so stop pretending like you pronounce it that way. Sorry, that has nothing to do with the movie, but I get annoyed any time I even look at him. Pretentious prick.
Now, Cabin Boy was a horrible film, but it was supposed to be horrible. It quite successfully accomplished its goal, which makes it good. Or something.
I mock you with my monkey pants.

when I read the thread title I was thinking of all the terrible films that I've only caught part of on TV
(I had known enought to know I wouldn't want to pay to see them in the theater)
like Dumb and Dumber
or The Cable Guy
but then I read your stipulation about having it be something I paid to go see...
and I'm afraid Star Wars the Attack of the Clones totally fits that criteria...
I had been disappointed with the Star Wars the Phantom Menace but I didn't hate it (no frothing at the mouth anger)
but Star Wars the Attack of the Clones was far worse in my opinion...
I was terribly bored, and frustrated. I knew what they were going to say before they said it. There were no surprises or plot twists or anything at all of any interest to me.
Of course that isn't the only movie I've hated.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider I found to be really stupid and boring (and I paid full price for an evening show), I was ready to walk out of that one because it was such a waste of my time.
And what was that stupid Ben Afflic film where they kill off President Morgan Freeman with the atom bomb (we can blow up a big section of the East Coast, but it is no big deal)?...hated that too, but at least it was only matinee money.
Yeah, you're right...I do get madder at the films I was excited about,
when I go see something I know will be lame then I'm really not annoyed at all when it is.
edited to add: I really agree GRRARRG: The Avengers was TERRIBLE
bad writing, bad acting (who knew these people could be so bad?)

Battlefield Earth - bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad! It got down right comical at the end when human slaves learned how to fly Harriers that just happened to work after centuries of just sitting there.
Wing Commander - It's really sad to say this, but the video game was WAY better than this pile of crap. To add insult to injury, I had missed the opening trailer which debuted the Episode I teaser.
There was a third movie, but it was so horrendously bad, I've completely blocked it out of my mind.

Motel Hell. They check in but they don't check out, but are instead are buried up to there neck in the back yard and until the hotel owner is ready to make them into Jimmy's Little Pork Sausages.
Okay, so WHY did I go see a movie like this? I was in college and someone in my group thought we could really have fun making fun of this movie....and of course I was drunk.

Episode I: probably the only movie I've gotten really pumped up for, I mean like Serenity pumped, and then been dissapointed. I got the worst sunburn of my life waiting to get tickets for that movie. Only to get home from it and say, "eh, it was ok". That review was only made possible by the final lightsaber duel.
Notting Hill: the only movie I've ever walked out of. When Hugh Grant is argueing about what size orange juice to get for 15 minutes that just tears it.
28 Days Later: seriously monkies infected with RAGE!!! is what caused a terrible epidemic. These people decide to have a picnic in the daytime when they can safely travel? They drove through a painting at one point. When you're hoping to be rescued would you write "HELP" or "HELLO" in big letters on the ground? I would have walked out on this movie but I had to stay and pay the bill for food I ordered.

Wait one minute, she looked good, some of the music was okay,...Some of the last fight was well done....
She looked good...
Okay, so it was kinda stupid and boring.
Seriously, though, the 2nd one was quite enjoyable! Did you give that one a chance, even as a rental?
Oh, I just remembered, Alien vs. Predator made me want to demand my money back, only reason I didn't is that I realized shoulda known from the PG-13 rating that it was gonna suck!

The Beach (with Leonardo DiCaprio). I was SO excited to see this movie, partly because of an awesome soundtrack, partly because the trailer was so good. When I saw it, though, I realized that the trailer must have been for a different movie. It built up a different story, and I went to the theater expecting that story.
Another movie that let me down was Sin City (and I know, I'm going to get crucified for saying this). Don't get me wrong, I loved the way they filmed it, that comic-book style, and I loved Benicio del Toro and Clive Owen. But the stories were so horrible, and poorly put together, that I walked out of the theater feeling completely empty. It was sad, because I thought it was going to be a movie about gothic romance and tragedy and heroes, like the trailer said it would be. That's the last time I trust a trailer. (I mean it this time.)
