Dumbest reasons you’ve heard for disliking a movie?


I remember when Django Unchained first came to DVD my dad rented it and the next day he was telling me how awful and unwatchable it was, that it was one of the worst things he’d ever seen. I spent months finding this purplexing until I finally forced him to explain just what he disliked. Turns out, he didn’t even last five minutes into the movie. In fact, he turned it off before the opening credits even ended, because the opening credits music was just so awful that he couldn’t sit through it. The next day we sat through the movie together and I forced him to sit through the opening credits, which he spent the entire time groaning over, but he ended up enjoying the movie. I just find it hard to believe someone would take out a DVD based on the opening credits music. Like, how bad does your pacience have to be to where you cant sit thru 2-3 minutes of old cowboy jingles?

A movie not being Woke or an older film being judged by 2022's nutty standards. "John Wayne played Genghis Khan?! That is white washing!"

Yes, because I am sure Mongol actors in Hollywood are in great supply.

This might be the dumbest reason I ever came up to turn a movie off... but I turned off The Eternals when they showed the Indian-movie-esque singing and dancing scene.

It's just so out of place in a (supposedly) superhero movie. I just lost all my mood to watch the movie.

"This movie is too long and boring." Which, by today's standards, would be anything longer than 90 minutes that isn't filled with explosions, car chases and constant sensory overload. Whatever happened to the appreciation of character development and taking time to set up the story?

Nothing happened. It's still here. You're just looking at the other way.
