I watch a wide range of films.

I have favourite films in all genres and do not discriminate. That said, if a film sucks it sucks. Most films that suck are ones that are formula driven that don't do anything interesting within the formula. As others have noted, just because it follows a formula doesn't mean it's going to suck, some of the best films are formula films. People don't like to watch films that break from form too much because they like to see their expectations met (this happens in all genres by the way). We are, generally speaking, slaves of the narrative form.
