For me it was Blade Runner. Everyone always talks about how great the movie is, and man, it was a struggle to get through. The setting was cool and that's about it.

The whole premise was that they're in danger and need to get to Canada to be safe (the bad guys don't have passports I guess 🤷), but have to wait just before they cross the border for everyone to show up seemingly for no reason.

I think that Ready Player One was terribly ported from the book format to the movie. The book went so much more over the top than the movie did, the latter turning down on a lot of nerd aspects. Having said that, different formats need different ways for conveying the same idea. The main character would literally get a "+1 blazing sword" in the book. +1. As if it were an MMO or something.
Having said that, Dune (book and movie) were terrible. The movie felt plagued with references to stuff I didn't get. Only recently did I read the book just to find it was as uninteresting as the movie.
I'll never forget those opera singers singing right to my ears when a ship would land... Now that's a way to startle a person.
On the bright side, reading the book has allowed me not see the second part of the movie.
Ready player one and also Scott pilgrim or whatever its called. That whole "needs are cool, buy funko pops" craze is super cringe.
V for Vendetta. For a movie with both Padme and Palpatine as actors, the movie is just an edgy construct. I'm sure V isn't totally without reason, but bro, you sabotaged a train just because you wanted real butter on toast.
