It wasn't even that it was a bad movie, I just don't like a film being billed as one thing and actually contextually being something else... such as a drama with a few funny moments being hailed as "the next big comedy" and they literally show every comedic beat in the trailers. And don't get me started on the phrase "thriller/thrill-ride"...

When it came out, I thought it was terrible because it was hyped as an action flick and not one man's decent into madness. If I knew that going in, I would have been in the long line of people who have subsequently sucked off that movie as one of the greatest things ever filmed. With things being as they were, I was bored with it and felt gyp'd at the time.
Had an opposite reaction to Fight Club...

I had seen the trailers, and had thought it was just some dumb action movie about dudes beating each other up. So I didn't watch it for years, until in university we watched it in some film class, and I was surprised by the content of it, and loved it.
