I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
I just don’t like Star Wars and I like sci-fi in general. But Star Wars is just one of those stories I can’t make myself to like.
I remember fondly the prequels with pod racing and that red black guy with double lightsaber. I wached those movies as a child.
Later I tried watching all of them and I could not bring myself to finish even one. The dated effects (good for their time) just took me out of the story way too much.
I also tried waching the new ones, but they just felt boring so I dropped them.
I don’t know what is it about Star Wars, but I just can’t bring myself to like them even with nostalgia by my side.
Star wars was always more of a fantasy film than scifi, maybe that’s why?
I mean, I like both, so that’s not it…
Maybe because Star Wars, at least the original 3 movies, aren’t really sci-fi. It’s a fairy tale with some SF veneer. There’s an evil emperor, a princess, knights, magic and a hero who saves the princess and eventually overthrows the evil emperor.
I think I like fantasy even more than sci-fi. Lord of the rings was awesome, both books and movies. I really liked The witcher books. I wouldn’t really say I have a strong preference to genre as long as the story is good. And execution of the story is even more important.
I used to love it as a child but as an adult now the only one I can tolerate is The Empire Strikes back.
Because it’s the only really good Star Wars film. All the rest have either cringe-inducing acting, nonsensical plotting, or are inundated with inane family friendly elements like Ewoks, Anikin and Jarjar.

I absolutely love Star Wars, but I can admit they are pretty dumb and have terrible writing.
