I agree with everyone who said the Percy Jackson movies. I love Logan Lerman and the movie wasn't bad, it was entertaining and everything, but they didn't stick to the books AT ALL and that really ruined it for me.
But I think the movie I will never forgive anyone for is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, it's my favorite Harry Potter book and I was so excited when it finally came out, but then they took out my favorite parts (most of Voldemort's back story) and they completely ignored so many important details that would matter in the next two films. Also the dialogue was weird and it fell flat compared to the dialogue in previous movies. It was overall really weird and awkward and not at all like I imagined it would be. I'm still angry about it.

Three Musketeers both the 2011 and the 1993 versions, but I think the 2011 one was worse.

Dracula Untold. The CGI was good, and some of the characters were okay, with some good moments, but everything else is just disappointing.
