What's an often hated movie/show/game that you experienced, that made you go "I get the hate, but I don't hate it myself"? And how much did you tolerate it?

The Last Jedi. It took me a while to even process the hate, and I still don't really respect it, but I think I understand it. TLJ is flawed but by far the best sequel, and an Ep9 where Kylo is beyond redemption and rebels and force users are bubbling up from everywhere could have been really interesting.
Even if they'd backtracked thematically, The Rise of Skywalker made a huge mistake in overtly shitting on it, literally fucking over its own story (such as it was) and pacing to do so, and thereby pleasing no one. Even if you don't like what your partner did, you have to "Yes, and...," not go full "Michael Scott in improv class."

All Star is on my hate list because I've heard it too many times at this point. It joins

- Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
- Nevermind by Nirvana
- A few Red Hot Chili Peppers songs

I've recently played Resident Evil 6 for the 1st time after playing Resident Evil 4 (an absolute masterpiece) & Resident 5 (a pretty good game). I was already aware of the hate this game got over the years. But after experiencing it, it's only bad in an artificial way. Like yeah, it's nothing like the classic games and it's too much in the action category.
Otherwise, as someone who loves action games, it's a pretty fun game. Especially in Mercenaries Mode, where it's fun to mow down body-horror themed enemies. As a Resident Evil game, it's pretty bad. But...as an action third person shooter with splatter punks, it's quite well executed
Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012.
I get the hate, it isn't like the OG at all, but when played without caring about its name it is a banger game. -

sword art online, sure it doesn't have a sensible plot or good writing but it has so much potential.

I know a lot of films and TV pilots start as a writers original idea, sometimes even a great idea, but for one reason or another never get picked up. Or even worse it does get picked up. But in both cases someone says, "This won't sell, can you make it Super Mario themed?"
The writer, creative as they are and just happy to get work, then mashes the two together.
I think a film featuring a parallel New York ruled by evolved dinosaurs and deevolution guns is a wild but potentially interesting film. What it has to do with Mario... I have no idea.

Speaking of resident evil: I really like the movies. All except the last one and the one in the desert. They might shit all over the games and any semblance of continuity, but if you can shut off your brain for a while (as much as for any other action horror movie), they are fun. Especially in a proper home cinema and even more so in 3D.

I liked RE6 as well. I don't remember if that's the one where you punch a boulder into a volcano or if that's 5, but I enjoyed the over the topness of it. I liked the set up of playing different characters too. Leon going through the White House was awesome.

My take away was that the protagonists were too caught up in being the protagonists and the outcome would have been better if they had just done nothing.
Which just isn't a very good adventure story.

There was actually a deleted scene originally in the movie where an executive from Nintendo met with Mario and Luigi to buy the rights to their story and that the movie was actually what happened and the games are the ones that changed things, which I've always thought was a fun tongue in cheek nod at the source material (or lack thereof).

I enjoy Gods of Egypt, even have the Bluray. It's a dogshit movie but good junk food entertainment. Kinda gives me The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vibes which is another crap movie I like.
Not sure why, I think I'm just a sucker for ancient Egyptian themes even when they're butchered to the point of being insulting.

The Marvels. The first movie wasn't great but this sequel was genuinely pretty fun.

Danganronpa. (the games, not the anime) It's hard to defend in some places, with its abysmal minigames, nonsensical plot, and anime tropey story that gets very uncomfortable and insensitive at times. I am also of the opinion that to be cringe is to be free, but it's one of those franchises with an online fanbase that turned me off of the entire thing for a long while.
But, when I was encouraged to actually give it a fair shake, I enjoyed it a lot. At its best moments, there's some solid murder mysteries surrounded with entertaining characters and a tense atmosphere. Camp doesn't excuse the worst parts, but it definitely makes them sting a little less.
The third game in particular gets a lot of flack for its ending and I get it, it's not a very satisfying conclusion for the characters or universe but as a reflection on the franchise I do see what they were doing and thought it was interesting - probably more interesting than if we got actual answers for the worldbuilding questions it bypasses.
Definitely skip the anime covering the first game's events, it's way too compressed and just heinously awful in a lot of ways. Can't speak for the other anime series, the movie, or the books, though I'm still interested enough to give em a try sometime.

The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy.
Story time. I'm nearing 30 and had only seen bits and pieces of the original trilogy (not more than 10 minutes or so at a time), and I saw episode 7 in theatre. Last year, my roommate (who is a huge Star Wars fan) and I decided to watch through the whole series. We started with the original, then trudged through the sequels so we could line up the prequel rewatch with the 20th anniversary of episode 3 and see it in theatre.
I went into it "knowing" that the originals were the best, the sequels were embarrassingly bad, and the prequels were pretty heavily shit on but still decent. I actually ended up liking the prequels more. From a technical standpoint I'd argue that they are probably "worse" movies. There's the obvious things that don't make sense (like Anakin being a child in episode one and a young adult in episode two yet Padme looks relatively unchanged) and the dialogue is certainly goofy at times, but I felt a lot more connected to the story and had more fun with the prequels than the originals.
The sequels were, in fact, absolute dog shit though.
Really, a lot of the prequel hate comes from them taking such a huge step down from the OT. In 1999, The Phantom Menace was the first major Star Wars film in 16 years; it wasn't just a cool new thing, it was a cultural event. People expected great things.
Obviously it failed at that. Not once, but twice. Revenge of the Sith barely even got a chance.
And so the backlash was brutal. While the critique wasn't unfair in its points, it also came from a perspective of starkly emotional disappointment. People say the prequels are looked at more fondly now due to 'nostalgia', but mostly I think it's that the emotional pain has faded and we can analyze them more objectively as flawed, but ultimately solid films rather than 'disasters'.
It may be that one day the sequels will be more coldly studied as well, with more focus placed on the issues produced by cycling directorship and management pressures... but I also think even a coldly analytical appraisal of them will still come up as "hollow and emotionless".

It's always going to be one of my favorite Star Wars sequels because I got into it around the tail end of a deep depression and watched it early enough not to fall for the bad press
Luke's story hit home in a weird way and I liked that Johnson at least tried to make Rey's parents irrelevant as a much-needed dismissal of the whole idea that the fate of the galaxy far far away hinges on at least one magical bloodline
On top of that it's given me a good litmus test for what differences in opinion should actually be respected. Don't like the movie? Fine, but it is rather telling to me in all the ways people get downright aggressive over hating on it
Luke’s story hit home in a weird way
IMHO it it home because that is almost the only way it could have been done, especially after what JJ set up in The Force Awakens. We know that Luke blamed himself. We know he ran away. We know not even Leia can locate him via the Force. At least being a grumpy hermit was a way to take back a little bit of agency. When you have a hero's journey, and the hero's journey ends, you're not really supposed to revisit them thirty years later with a massive new threat, because now they have to face it, but not as the hero. Once you decide you have to have Luke in the damn story, there is nothing you can do except make him a mentor or a villain. Villain was right out, but having him fall back into old habits (doomerism, jumping to conclusions, whining) and having all that make him start as an ineffective mentor was actually really clever.
It also maybe hit a little close to home for the generation that grew up idolizing Luke, re-evaluating what he was after reaching his heights in his mid-20s. That said, it also tells that same group, "Yes, you are fatter and angrier and grabbing breakfast and a latte is the most interesting thing you'll do most days, but you have wisdom to pass down, and you have the power to beat back the darkness and learn from your own mistakes, and there is so much more to you and than you've come to believe about yourself." I actually walked out of the movie thinking that once you have a Luke that let the First Order arise at all, then this Luke was a god-damn hero and saved the galaxy one last time.

TLJ is just about the best movie in the whole series. The hatred is 85% pissed-off fans who thought the franchise belonged to them. And the rest is just anti-woke hysterics.
In time, TLJ will get the respect it deserves.
I do think the movie was weak on the handwavium when a few lines could have turned the siege/chase into something a little more compelling. Some of the dialogue skewed a bit Marvel-y, and Finn's TLJ arc was way too similar to his TFA arc, only nudging forward his circle of empathy a bit. I also wish wish wish somebody had simply said the Holdo maneuver worked because she locked onto the hyperspace tracker: BOOM, two birds with one battlecruiser. Casino planet dragged a bit, but I didn't mind it nearly as much as others. Maz was wasted, and in some ways, the whole movie actually mapped too closely to ESB (subversion indeed).
However, Luke's arc hit me exactly right given that they were forced to revisit a Hero's-Journey hero whose journey was done, because JJ Abrams set up the galaxy in possibly the least compelling way possible. Luke's return from backsliding into his own old habits, accepting his failure, and using the energy he had left to secure a future for the next generation... that's good stuff, and a lot of the boomers and older X's who idolized him would do well to heed the lesson.
The initial tone poem with Rose's sister was beautiful. DJ absolutely fit as a tweak on Lando and commentary on what all this is supposed to mean. The Poe arc that he can't simply Maverick his way into leadership, the idea that Rey was no one and yet everything, that Force users and resistance could come from anywhere, and that Ren was on a path apart from Snoke's but equally irredeemable, all these things were HUGE improvements from TFA and were setting things up for a very compelling finale.
Instead, JJ crammed in his own Episode 8 into the first 45 minutes, left no time to have his own movie make any sense, just channelled Harry Potter and the Avengers for its conclusion, and repeatedly reminded people that TLJ was being undone ("come with us, Rose!" "Can't! Leia gave me homework!"... We picked "Yer a Palpatine, Rey!" from the hat full of fan theories!), thereby reminding TLJ's fans that it was being undone, and its haters that it existed. Just a piece of shit movie all around, and to top it off, with my "ACKSHULLY" cap on, it still didn't connect the tracker with the Holdo maneuver!!!!!
Finally, for what it's worth, TLJ is the only ST movie to engage in good faith with the PT, which is something you need to do, even if (like me) they're far from your favorites.

I enjoyed both Battleship and Battle: Los Angeles. They were fun movies to turn your brain off to.
