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.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

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.
Super Mario Bros. If Thesauruses had pictures it would have a full page spread in the antonyms section for "classic" or "great" to be sure...and I know the actors involved hated it...but darn it its so mesmerizing for some reason.
Legend. Yep the 1986 Tom Cruise, Mia Sara movie that also starred Tim Curry as basically the Devil. Though as I got older and the net got more widespread I discovered there was something of a cult following for the movie, and a sort of...schism, I guess, between the US soundtrack (Tangerine Dream) and the European Soundtrack (Jerry Goldsmith). I'll always prefer the FORMER, as the movie itself was such a product of its time and a thoroughly 80s-esque synth soundtrack compliments that.
Masters of the Universe. This is a weird one cause again like Legend there's a cult following for it, plus the consensus today is "bad but Langella stole the show as Skeletor". Plus the score which is a weird Star Wars/Superman amalgam. But I liked it even as a kid.
Howard the Duck
Predator 2, though most of the complaints I hear is its not as good as the Arnie version.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
It's Pat
Spider-Man 3
Is Eddie Murphy's "The Golden Child" hated? I remember seeing that in theaters. Loved it then love it now but its rarely talked about. "Give me the knife! Please!" "Brother Nombsie!"
Pootie Tang. So ridiculous, so good, so quotable. RIP Reg E. Cathey (Dirty Dee).
Fantastic Four, or I guess stylized as Fant4stic.
Ang Lee's Hulk
Daredevil (Director's Cut)
Elektra, I just wish they added back in Matt's cameo (its a deleted scene). Interestingly enough it made a killing on pay-per-view at the time.
The Crow 2 and 3, subtitled City of Angels and Salvation respectively.
I could be here all day. lol But those are off the top of my head. Ah, Highlander 3 and the out of print THEATRICAL version of Highlander: Endgame with the not so happy yet more fitting ending.
Spider-Man 3
Batman vs Superman
Solo
Guess those are the three biggies, especially tailored for this forum
Most of my others fall into the category of "I loved them, but hardly anyone went and saw them"
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
