Star Wars, Star Trek, any of those “universe superhero” movies, and generally most movies that were nominated for best picture in any of the award shows.

This is almost the same as the question What highly regarded movies don’t you like? asked 2 weeks ago but I’ll bite:
Star Wars…had to keep asking who was who and why they were doing what they were doing and who were the good/bad guys, never watched any more of them.
Don’t watch superhero movies like Batman, except loved Jessica Jones.
Don’t watch romances unless they sneak it into a dramedy.
Haven’t watched so many movies that people my age have watched: Porky’s, the one with the gopher popping up out of holes on the golf course with that Blues Brother, so many others.
Men in Black, watched the first and that was plenty.

I walked out of the Batman movie with Bane in the first sequence. The music bothered me. I did watch at home later.

@smudges I did try to search to see if this was asked before I asked and nothing even close came up so I figured it was safe well so much for google.

Hate is a high bar. And most of the stuff I would say I hate is not popular. Like I could bust on Batman & Robin or Episode 7 and 8 of the Disney Star Wars trilogy….but they weren’t popular. EVERYONE busts on them. Transformers kind of falls in the same category. I hate it…but it seems like everyone else does too…and yet they make enough money to keep getting sequels. So maybe Transformers is my best answer?

Deerhunter wasn’t popular but it was highly rated, and it’s SO BAD. There’s ONE good scene (the russian roulette scene) and the rest of it is absolute trash.

The original Avatar wasn’t a bad movie, but would probably be my pick for ‘most overrated of all time’. But that’s not hate I guess.

2001 a Space Odyssey. Pretty much went down hill after the first 5 minutes. The endless light show was brutal. “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”. -HAL 9000

Here’s the previous, from two weeks ago:

https://www.fluther.com/235114/what-highly-regarded-movies-dont-you-like/

I googled “fluther what highly regarded movies don’t you like” and that’s how I found it.

I don’t like Marvel movies, Sci Fi movies (like Vanilla Sky or Star Wars), movies where there’s a lot of suffering or torture, like Hunger Games (or shows like Handmaiden’s Tale). I’m not a big fan of kids’ movies like The Minions.

^^ I’m a huge fan of kids’ movies! They take me away (like Calgon) and let me be a child with a child’s delight again. I also love bright colors, so that may be why I also like cartoons.

Yeah, I said it! Wanna make sumpin of it? 8D

LOL You seem very familiar to me, also. Maybe we knew one another in a previous incarnation?
