actually, did you ever watch the show? it had quite a few over the top villans that made no sense and did stupid stuff. not that i am defending the movie. i saw it a long time ago and do not remember it very well. i vaguely recall it being rather stupid. just saying that the weather angle is not that outrageous for that movie. i mean, during the show, they had a guy who could zap people with electricity and another guy with diamonds in his stomach.

lemme see, oh yeah Van Helsing - wooden acting, crap special effects, was there a plot? oh and that ending.............
Se7en, boring, and so predictable, - only film I can think of that i actually left during the middle of to have a cig.
Dawn of the Dead, (remake) eek what was I thinking? That maybe, just maybe you can improve on an original. Doh. Not that one.
Alien 3 and Phantom Menace.
And one more - curtesy of the child person - Thomas and His Magic Railway. OMG. What were they thinking? That kids are gullible and will swallow any old rubbish, probably. Funny, I don't know a one that likes that film.

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.)
My other choice: Jury Duty. Dunno why I thought Pauly Shore would be funny, but boy was I wrong.

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.
Ouch... really? That's a shame, that you can't deal with that. I wonder if it has anything to do with the near-photorealism of the work. The art director of that movie said in an interview that he found a curious phenomenon with that movie: the eye seems to be capable of dealing with the suspension of disbelief to a certain point. Once the quality of the animation crosses that threshold, it suddenly looks terrible. Because we are so used to looking at human faces, a near-perfect animated face looks distractingly odd, where a Bart Simpson, for instance, doesn't cause any problems. Maybe if, for instance, Donald Sutherland was voicing a cartoon, instead of (in my opinion) one of the most finely-crafted animated actors in history, you don't have nearly the same problem.
(I don't remember the name of the art director off the top of my head, and my back is too sore to walk eight steps to my bookcase. Sorry.)
As you might have guessed, I really enjoyed that movie. A little hokey/new-agey plot, but the technical work was sheer genius.
My vote: Envy, with Ben Stiller and Jack Black. For me and the friend that went to see that, it is now the standard by which all cinematic crap is judged. Wish they could have used the movie's Va-Poo-Rize product on the film itself.

Sorry, but I'm confused. Is the question what movie you expected to love or really like and have been most disappointed by? Or is what is the worst movie you've ever seen? The worst movie I've ever seen is GLEN OR GLENDA? But I relished its badness. It must be seen to be believed. Movies featured on MST3K don't count because I haven't seen them unMSTied.
I rarely get "pumped up" about movies and I've never hated a movie I got "pumped up" about. I can't remember the last time I got "pumped up about a movie" but I'm sure I didn't hate it. I am, however pumped up about SERENITY. But it's virtually impossible that I'll hate it.
This may be the most pointless post in this thread because I'm not sure I can answer this question unless the question really is simply "What is the worst movie you've ever seen?"

Black Moon Rising.
Every single trailer included every single second of footage they had of the car, edited and shown out of context to give the impression that it was a central thing to the movie.
Which, of course, had nothing to DO with the car, of course - the only scenes with it were at the end of the movie, and wasn't much of it at that.
I call that false advertising, felt I was lied to, and not only walked out near the end pissed, but outright demanded (and got) my money back.
Trailers shouldn't give away the plot, but neither should they mislead or lie about it.

So many to mention. I'm not too great with melodrama so most films that tend to win oscars leave me cold... However here's a list of films that I either walked out of or ended date's over...
Requim for a Dream : Paint by numbers melodrama.
Legends of the fall: One long shampoo ad for Brad pit and his long hair.
Van Helsing: As mentioned before. Dreadful film - shameful acting and effects. Utter rubbish.
Zorro: With Hopkins (again) and Banderas - what trash.
Harry Potter (1st one) Haven't seen the others - I couldn't possibly take the risk I may throw my foot at the screen.
James Bond (The recent one with the invisible Jaguar - Sheesh!
Tomb Raider: Stupid breasts looked ridiculous!
Air Force One: I'm a big fan or Harrison Ford so this one crushed me.....
In the Line of Fire: Ruuuubish!
Crash, The Idiots, Eyes Wide Shut, Brian De Palma films, Gangs of New York, Heat, Gladiator, anything written by Joe Esterhas or whatever his name was..... I should stop.
