Kinds of movies you HATE


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.

I forgot to say this in my original comment, and other people's comments reminded me of it: I find almost any sports movie to be utterly, mind-numbingly boring. There are a couple I like, but I'm just completely uninterested in sports, and therefore almost any movie that revolves around sports.

Non-linear story-telling, really stupid premises, badly-written stories, dramas that never go anywhere, sequels that ruin the first film for you, sequels where they don't even cast the same people for the roles, sequels that are made more than 2 years after the first one, anything that glorifies gay people, low-brow comedy with a lot of disgusting jokes, and dark, depressing movies.

Oh yeah, remembered a few others: films that have a lot of jerky camera movements, movies where nearly everyone dies needlessly, anything with Will Ferrel in it, superhero movies that make the hero look stupid, cliche festivals, anything with an SJW theme, slow, boring films, sci-fi films using really bad science (believe me, there are a few), time-travel stories that mess with your head, really bad book interpretations, and historical films where everyone's wearing badly modified modern clothes and acting modern, but they're supposed to be living in "ye olde days."

This might become a long list.
Teen movies that involve singing and/or dancing. Not Dirty Dancing or Footloose, but the Step Up or Pitch Perfect / Glee type stuff.
Adam Sandler.
Lifetime.
Fast and Furious franchise. Emphasize FRANCHISE. How much of this stuff can most of us take? Hard core car freaks only.
Juvenile humor (see Sandler + Spade, Gottfried, some of those other SNL jokers).
I'm probably missing some things, but this isn't too long a list.

movies with large hulking sullen he-men and, increasingly, he-women, exploding things.
