San Diego Comic Con has become one of the biggest film events of the year. For studios it's treated as both a high-profile location to announce new projects and a pre-release measure of a film's potential success, despite those in attendance forming only a small, unrepresentative part of a movie's eventual audience. In recent years such contradictory reactions include Green Lantern, whose early footage was initially well received and Avatar, with people who got a cheeky glimpse of James Cameron's behemoth quick to dismiss it. Even though they're a minority and clearly susceptible to hype, these fan-boys wield a lot of power. It was the reaction to a test-reel at SDCC that led to Disney going ahead with TRON: Legacy, a film with little appeal outside of die-hards who remembered the 1982 cult original. Thanks to the internet super-fans who were previously confined by geographical location have a much more direct line to those producing their beloved content and can have an influence of what gets produced. What's often less focused on is how these fickle types can influence what general audiences think. Here's a common situation; a new film comes out to general praise, but the more extreme fans sit in the corner grumpily moaning that it doesn't meet their high expectations. With loud enough grumbling this can actually shift public perception of a film. Here are ten movies whose reputations have been marred by fan hate.
