Peter Parker in Spiderman 3. He just comes off as a massive douchebag throughout the entire film, regardless of the symbiote, and frankly the single most sympathetic character in the whole movie was the Sandman, who was supposedly the villain.
Speaking as someone who liked the first two Spider-Man movies a lot, I have to say that Spider-Man 3 sucked ass. SM2 went to extreme lengths to show how depressed Peter was because of his decision to sacrifice a relationship with Mary Jane, the love of his life. What does Peter do in SM3, when he finally has her? He tells her to watch him swing in during a public event, and then shares their special upside-down kiss with some random hottie in the crowd. Holy shit was that stupid. Way to show how grateful you are to have her after acting so emo in the previous movie. I suspected that he may have already been under the influence of the symbiote when he did that, but later the movie refuted that excuse by showing Peter bonding with the symbiote for the first time. So that was all Peter.
Of course, all of that bullshit was to make Peter a "bad boy" so they could have him tempted by the unnecessary Venom symbiote. Venom shouldn't have even been in the movie, and the director was even OPEN about his dislike for the character. But he was put in their to appease the fanwhores. SM3 is probably the biggest, most clear example of how fanwhores can ruin a franchise.

So they have every reason to defend their freedom right? Ya know. The freedom to steal, the freedom to rape and pillage, the freedom to swindle, lie, and rip people off. The sacred rights of the pirates involve randomaly attacking merchant vessels, ports, and harbors. All to rob them blind and kill their inhabitants.
You can't tell me this didn't occur to any of the writers. Unless of course, they didn't care, and their only goal was to milk the Pirates cash cow into exhaustion. Well mission fucking accomplished I suppose.
That was the only reason the Pirates sequels were made.

The lobby scene was "memorable" until 2003. Nobody gives a shit about the Matrix anymore. Any of the fanboys who claim that Lucas "ruined" Star Wars or Indiana Jones with the more recent movies need to take a good look at the Matrix, a REAL example of a destroyed franchise.
