Whether a person likes a movie or not is entirely subjective, and their reasons for not liking something might not always make sense — especially if that person is a toddler. Recently, a redditor shared a hilarious take their 3-year-old had on a classic film with the r/movies community:
What’s the funniest reason you’ve heard for somebody not liking a movie?
My 3 year old saw a statue of E.T. At the coffee shop and was really into it. He got excited when I told him it’s from a movie. He got stoked and spent the whole day asking when we could watch it.
That night, halfway through the film he asks “Can we turn it off? E.T. SUCKS.”
So I asked him “what sucks about it?” and he replied “E.T. walks too slow. He sucks.”
Pretty funny. Got me wondering what other funny reasons people have for not liking particular films.

In the thread, redditors confess the most absurdly specific reasons they have heard for someone disliking a film.
1. Calling an obvious fantasy “too unrealistic”
Some complaints feel less like criticism and more like a mismatch between expectations and, well, the entire premise.
2. Rejecting a film because it looks too cold
Sometimes a person’s opinion on a movie has nothing to do with its plot twists or acting — just its vibes. For some viewers, a movie’s setting can be such a sensory turnoff.
3. Holding a character’s choice against the actor forever
Some people take what a character in a movie does so to heart that they then transfer those feelings to the actor who portrayed the hated character and refuse to see any other movie they’re in from then on.
4. When the logistics don’t add up
Some movie watchers are not bothered by monsters or magic but by the absence of ordinary infrastructure.
5. Getting a place “wrong”
Some people feel so protective over their hometowns and states that they refuse to see movies that might be inaccurate.
6. The flip side of loyalty
People might love a person, TV show, or other movie so much that they hold a grudge against that property’s rival out of a sense of loyalty.
Movie taste can be deeply personal, but these comments show it can also be hilariously petty. A single, mundane detail like the weather can override everything else on screen. Do you relate to any of these reasons?
