What genre/type of movie do you hate?
For me it's musicals (can't STAND them), most animated films (usually he ones that are just glorified musicals), post-apocalyptic movies, and whatever the hell you call the Twilight saga.
Lawyer movies. Who watches these things? OMG they're so boring. I think the only one I like is My Cousin Vinny.
shareI used to like court room stuff, until I realise they ALL LIE. After a year of law school and sitting in boring court room after boring court room I bailed.
In retrospect I should have stuck it out and at least get paid well to do jobs I hate.
Pompous shite like The English Patient and The Thin Red Line
shareUgh....The English Patient was agonisingly boring.
I saw The Thin Red Line stoned off my bracket so I kinda liked it.

I still watch movies stoned/various states of influence. I often wonder if the directors of certain movies expecting people to be off their faces. I KNOW musicians do.... 😅
shareCan you say “2001”? Can you say “Tommy”?
Sure you can.
Im the same, Sometimes films and music are not as appreciated as much as they can be unless you're under the influence of the substances. Take 'No Retreat, No Surrender' for example. 100x better than it already is whilst 'intoxicated'
shareI hate stupid comedies. Unfortunately most of them are stupid now. I like comedies that are clever, that aren't 99% dick jokes and the like.
I don't like gore movies, or the fact that they're considered horror. I don't think they're scary at all; just gross. The best horror movies are the ones that rely on atmosphere rather than just grossing out the viewer to the point of nausea. That's not to say I'm against blood in a movie. For instance Battle Royale, which has copious amounts of blood, is one of my favorite movies (though I prefer the novel). But when a movie is just blood and guts for its own sake, eh, it's not for me.
I find most romance movies boring, especially the romcom ones, a category which overlaps with my hatred of stupid comedies, since romcoms are mostly stupid. There are some romance films that I like, but I'm not into it as a rule. And it seems kind of redundant anyway since almost every movie of any genre has obligatory romances in it even if they don't benefit the main plot in any way.
I also find most superhero movies uninteresting. There are exceptions of course. For instance I LOVE Batman Begins, which I believe I rated 10/10 on IMDb (at least 9, but I think I gave it 10). But I consider most superhero movies to be pointless CGI fests that all follow the same done-to-death formulas. I also consider the whole superhero concept fundamentally elitist and I find that off-putting, but that's a philosophical thing for me. Anyway good entertainment is good entertainment, and as I said I love Batman Begins and there are a few others I like, but for the most part the superhero genre doesn't do it for me.
I don't judge other people for liking any of these, but they just aren't my thing.
I dislike slow/boring movies. Like when nothing actually happens for far too long (Call Me By Your Name.) I know Italy is pretty... but come on, just get the story started will ya?!
Or if they took too much time doing uneeded expostitions for a simple concept (Ready Player One, Kong Skull Island.) Everyone knows what virtual reality is, no need to spend frickin' 20 minutes to explain it. TRON did that in 1982 already!
Anything by Tyler Perry🤮
shareMost romantic comedies, sports movies, school movies, movies about talking animals, anything really saccharin and insipid such as Hallmark, Lifetime, Disney channel movies...
Just anything where there was no vision behind the camera.
Most comedies (especially the raunchy ones), westerns, romantic dramas, sports movies.
shareStrat, I think it’s safe to say that all sports movies are the same movie, repeated endlessly: overwhelming odds overcome (whether absolutely, or of the personal best/“moral victory” kind) in a tearful, “uplifting” ending.
Kind of like more traditional porn, but less fun.
Yes, they all follow the same limited formula. I'd love to see a sports movie in which the protagonist loses and doesn't get a standing ovation either.
shareThere was the wonderful cartoon in Mad Magazine, years and years ago: A boxer is getting mauled by his opponent. He is saved by the bell, and crawls back to his corner. Someone comes to him and says, “Your family is here, and your wife forgives you.” The fighter rises, a look combining determination and smugness on his face. His opponent decks him, winning the bout on a knock-out!
