Very rarely. If a movie sucks enough to make me question the medium, yeah then I might get annoyed. I'm looking at you, Lady in the Water of 2006. Beyond that, my attitude is usually "It's only a movie. Let's move on."

Not too often but films with awful messages and propaganda films get me on edge. But then again I do like to see those films just so I have new stuff to add to my worst 100.
Films like Gods Not Dead - Mean and dishonest Loving the Bad Man - Awful message An American Carol - Mean and very one sided Cries of the Unborn - Pro kidnapping Audacity - Pure bigotry Right to Believe - More bigotry Accidental Activist - Even more bigotry

Occasionally in the case of a movie I'd been really looking forward to but that fails utterly to entertain me.

Seeing Creepshow 2 in a theater pissed me off but I didn't go into a nerd rage or anything.

Films with a "message" or advocating a position have the chance to do that for me. Especially when I wasn't expecting it to be there and get surprised with a religious or political push. More of these are being made every year it seems, going to have to start avoiding them, no need to go see something I know I'm going to dislike. I used to try and see everything I could but have gotten more choosy this year.

Beyond that, my attitude is usually "It's only a movie. Let's move on." You probably get angry by the fact that I actually enjoy Lady in the Water. The stuff you hate about it is humorous to me. The killing of the book critic and M. Night with his writing that will save the world. That is good stuff. You're taking it too seriously. The movie is basically his response to the hatred that The Village received by critics.

I would probably go with 'very rarely' but it's not like I am going to be REALLY upset over it or anything like that, but I would say I am to some degree (but probably more in the mildly upset range). but I will say stuff like Borat (2006) is that kind of so-called comedy I do not like at all as that kind of stuff is about as bad as it gets. the kind that just screws with people. or stuff with Tom Green as that guy stands out in a negative way for me but thankfully he's pretty much disappeared a long time ago now. or those Jackass guys acting like screw ups. basically this kind of stuff is for losers, especially if someone likes it to a higher degree I would tend to question them as a person to some degree at the least. but with that said... boring is typically the worst crime a movie can commit. although there are occasions (which some I mentioned above) that are worse than boring but, thankfully, those tend to be pretty rare. kingslayerI think after one has seen plenty of movies it's wise to limit what one see's because your likely going to watch a bunch of crap if you don't limit things on some level. because just watching pretty much everything is going to waste a lot of time and your guaranteed to watch a bunch of average movies at best with that kind of mindset. one has to be selective, at least to some degree, in order to avoid the crap. hell, most movies I have seen are average (i.e. 5/10) and I think I have reached a point a while ago now that, excluding movies released into the future (as I can still find a quality movie here and there in the future (i.e. 2019 on forward)), it's difficult to find a movie from the past that's of any real worth that I have not already seen. that's partially why I tend to re-watch plenty of movies because if I never or rarely re-watched movies I would lose most of my interest in movies in general simply because I would likely go longer stretches without seeing anything of any real worth. but since I do re-watch plenty of movies, that helps ensure movies stay interesting for me as I can obtain a certain level of entertainment from them where as seeing a random movie I have not already seen, especially from the past, there is a good chance it will be average at best most of the time.

I've seen some docs or things based on real-life events that had tragic endings, and they left me with righteous indignation.

Only when I'e been cheated out of my hard earned dollars. Pearl Harbor and Natural Born Killers leap to mind. And then it was more disgust.
The closest was The Dark Tower (I didn't go to the theater). I railed against a DT adaptation because I knew it would be garbage. And I was right. It's probably unfilmable, King's books are real crap shoots anyway and no film would probably had satisfied me anyway (The Dark Tower series is my favorite fiction my a mile). But that was beyond disappointing. I thought the one redeeming feature would be Matthew McConaughey as Walter O'Dim, the Man in Black. A role he could have turned into another Heath Ledger/Joker role. But he just slept walked through it.
The Man in black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed.

Rarely nowadays because I'm a more cautious buyer. I remember when I was a horny teen in the late 1980s renting a movie because there was a superhot lady on the cover, only to find she wasn't even in the movie. False advertising lol.
It's probably tied to how I spend my time and money.

Angry at the movie itself? I hate a lot of them but wouldn't usually say angry.

Cannibal Holocaust made me really angry, because they killed that poor turtle for real.

Maybe a couple of times, but it's rare.

Never really angry, but really disappointed when a film is hyped as a great film and turns out to be the opposite.
Mad Max Fury Road is a very good example.

Lately all the lame sequels, remakes, soft reboots, retcons, gender swapping and race swapping being done to intentionally troll fans makes me angry.
