Do you like reading about another person's opinions that you're most likely to disagree with? Then you'll probably hate this article but for unrelated reasons.
I have a lot of opinions that make me unpopular at parties and funerals. Opinions like "black licorice is really good" and "maybe Jesus kind of deserved it." I don't have a lot of friends, is what I'm saying.
So I thought I would start cataloguing my worst opinions here in the hopes that I might finally find some like-minded basement dwellers who agree with me, or at least rile up obsessive fans and drive a few hate-clicks my way. Either way I benefit from your suffering, even though I don't put ads on this site so "clicks" mean nothing to me.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is really good, actually. And the Fem-boot/"Answer the Call" is better than Afterlife.
Let's start off light, because I know that Frozen Empire isn't the most hated movie ever. But it's definitely looked down on compared to the previous film.
Up until Afterlife I could confidently say that I loved every piece of Ghostbusters media I had consumed, including/especially Extreme Ghostbusters. But Afterlife was so dull and held the original film in such reverence despite it being a hot mess (in the 2010 Ke$ha sense) that I truly can't stand it or its fans. The all-female reboot (which actually is the most hated movie ever) may have missed what made the original funny and went for pure slapstick, but at least it was ACTUALLY FUNNY.
Luckily Frozen Empire came along and salvaged the new characters in a way that was entertaining and actually felt like a Ghostbusters movie. Podcast still sucks, though. Nothing against the kid playing him. I'm glad he managed to wrangle two paycheques out of that character, but the character still sucks.
Also, Ghostbusters 2 is great and you're a twat if you think otherwise. Vigo is the king of the upper west side.

The river scene in The Hobbit Part 2 is the best part of the whole trilogy.
No, I can't be bothered to look up what the second Hobbit movie is actually called, because the whole trilogy should have been one movie anyway. But during the river scene, when the fat dwarf pops his arms out of the barrel and starts spinning around with two axes like a Diablo 2 barbarian, I could taste your chagrin and it empowered me like a woman wearing slutty clothes.

None of the Bioshock games are good.
I'm sorry. It's simply true. They're all bad.
DMC is the only good Devil May Cry game.
I have played every Devil May Cry game except 5 and I hated them all except DMC. It was the first game in the series with a decent camera and the combat was a huge improvement. The music they used for marketing it was also great, introducing me to The Glitch Mob and Kap Bambino, even though the song the latter made for it was only used in the trailer and has never been officially released outside of that.
DMC even gets extra points for going out of its way to piss off fans, who are all annoying brats. Emo Dante with a mop on his head is what fuels me.

Evil Dead Rise is the best Evil Dead movie, and the Remake is better than the original.
The first part of this opinion is probably the least-controversial take on this list since a lot of people really like Evil Dead Rise, even though a lot of other people hate it. Those other people are wrong, by the way.
As for the remake, I actually don't like the first two movies at all so it wasn't a hard contest. I appreciate the first one for its place in the horror pantheon and how much they did with so little, but without that context it really doesn't hold up. Evil Dead 2 tries to be both funny and scary but isn't either, and even Army of Darkness isn't as funny as you remember.
