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

Donnie darko and the fifth element are terribly overrated. Films made to make teenagers think they’re deeper than they are.

Okay, I can at least see where you're coming from with Donnie Darko, but I'm completely confused when it comes to The Fifth Element.

Did The Fifth Element even have any teenage characters at all?
It doesn't seem like it dealt with anything remotely like typical real-world teenage life.
I can't see how it treated anything as being especially deep, either. I mean, the characters were flat and goofy, not complex and angst-ridden.

I mean, there are countless movies aimed at teens could maybe fit your criticism, but this seems like a movie where it's simply inapplicable.

Is there any chance that you're thinking of a different movie with a similar name?
