At the coffee shop and was really into it. He got excited when I told him it\u2019s from a movie. He got stoked and spent the whole day asking when we could watch it.<\/p>\n<p>That night, halfway through the film he asks \u201cCan we turn it off? E.T. SUCKS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So I asked him \u201cwhat sucks about it?\u201d and he replied \u201cE.T. walks too slow. He sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pretty funny. Got me wondering what other funny reasons people have for not liking particular films.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/comments\/1qmpmjt?utm_source=syndication&amp;utm_medium=yahoo_news&amp;utm_content=whats-the-funniest-reason-youve-heard-for-somebody-not-liking-a-movie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:thread;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;thread&quot;}\" class=\"link \">thread<\/a>, redditors confess the most absurdly specific reasons they have heard for someone disliking a film.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">1. Calling an obvious fantasy \u201ctoo unrealistic\u201d<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Some complaints feel less like criticism and more like a mismatch between expectations and, well, the entire premise.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">2. Rejecting a film because it looks too cold<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sometimes a person&#8217;s opinion on a movie has nothing to do with its plot twists or acting \u2014 just its vibes. For some viewers, a movie\u2019s setting can be such a sensory turnoff.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">3. Holding a character&#8217;s choice against the actor forever<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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&#8217;re in from then on.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">4. When the logistics don&#8217;t add up<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Some movie watchers are not bothered by monsters or magic but by the absence of ordinary infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">5. Getting a place &#8220;wrong&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Some people feel so protective over their hometowns and states that they refuse to see movies that might be inaccurate.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">6. The flip side of loyalty<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">People might love a person, TV show, or other movie so much that they hold a grudge against that property&#8217;s rival out of a sense of loyalty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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.
