    One guy's take...

    Dredd doesn't seem like it is a film that folks "Hate". Was nowhere near big enough to be a textbook Hollywood blockbuster? Sure. That said, the film has it's fans.

    Edit: Come to think of it, I feel that way about quite a few films. That "Hated" is probably an overstatement(if not an incorrect way of stating it).

    This. Dredd didn't make money, but it has garnered acclaim and has a passionate fanbase. I don't see many people running the film down or passionately hating it. Most of the people who saw it thought it was good, but there just weren't enough people who actually cared enough to see it.


    King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is a film many people genuinely dislike or hate; I get why they don't like it as it abandons the French romances in favour of restoring Arthur to his original starring role, complete with Guy Richie's rather anachronistic gangster stylings, however... I really quite enjoy it. There are things there that I could do without (he really should have left the giant cgi war-elephants to Lord of the Rings, and Arthur's final fight against Jude Law was too computer-game-cut-scene to be exciting), but on the whole I like it.

    The Amazing Spider-Man Lots of people seem to hate this re-boot, but for me it is my favourite. It's not perfect, it's downright clunky in places, but it's the closest films have come to giving me the Spider-Man I love. And Garfield and Stone have the kind of chemistry needed to make the romance work for me, rather than feeling like a box-ticking exercise.

    I don't see any hate for Dredd. Being a flop don't mean people hated it.

    Huh. Thought I would be the only one to mention that. When the first one came out, I enjoyed it. And when it came out on VHS (I still have a whole bunch of those), I watched it almost daily.

    Another old one, Space Jam. I watched it for Looney Toons hi-jinks and enjoyed it.

    Most people do not hate either of those movies.
