Aliens. It's not that it's an awful movie, but I hate that it took the best sci-fi thriller movie ever and made a sequel that's an action movie. It discarded all of the best parts of the original and kept only the most basic, surface-level elements.
Really, I find just about everything James Cameron has directed to be vastly overrated, with the exception of Terminator 2, and possibly Abyss, though even that has a gag-me-with-a-spoon ending that ruins an an otherwise solid film.
