"Hate" is a strong word - I wouldn't say I hated any movie. The limit of my dislike for a film would be to turn it off before the end (assuming it's a DVD or TV broadcast - I've never walked out on a movie at the cinema).

Here are some films that could be considered "great", or at least somewhat popular, that I switched off before the end:

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Rita, Sue and Bob Too!
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Gangs of New York
Signs
The Village

I did make it through LOTR I and II, but didn't have any inclination to attempt III.

I have yet to meet anyone that I know of who really liked [Blade Runner] upon their first viewing.

EDIT:

HAHA! I read this post after I made the above post. So I am not the only one who has experienced this exact same thing.

Blade Runner gets better the more you watch it.  I thought it was "meh" when I first saw it - now it's my favorite film of all time.

I first saw Blade Runner as the Director's Cut version during its theatrical run - I loved it. Later watched the original theatrical version on VHS, and I can see why people thought it was "meh".

The Blade Runner Final Cut was the first BD I bought (and I still only have 2 discs in my collection so far, the other being Ghostbusters.)

As I said above, "hate" is a strong word. I hate clueless fuckwits who record their TVs then put the footage up on Youtube.

this may come as a shock to people.   I've never watched Blade Runner.   At some point I intend to though

Hmm. That gives me an idea for a new thread!
