What do you think is the worst offense a film can make?

There are really only two options that stand out in a negative way...
Exactly.
because the core of what makes movies tick is general interest/entertainment which basically comes back to a emotional response we get from watching a movie.
also, I don't mind slower paced movies as some slower paced movies can be solid movies but sometimes a slower paced movie can be quite dull and maybe even boring. but on the flip side... some action movies can end up being dull or boring etc to.
1)Boring (i.e. movies I score a 2/10); by that I mean truly boring in the sense you can't even finish watching the movie as your interest in it is basically zero. because I have a feeling some people will claim a movie is "boring" if it's around average, or maybe a bit below average, as that stuff I definitely disagree with as even a dull movie(as in a below average movie) is not truly boring status even though it can be a bit of a chore to finish etc as it's dull but not full blown boring like watching paint dry.
in general that's clearly the worst crime a movie can commit since it's the opposite of a movie being interesting/entertaining which is what movies are about as without that core aspect, movies would be largely pointless to watch.
as a general rule... I try to give a movie at least 30min+, but usually around 40min, before ill turn it off and call it boring and then give it my usual 2/10 score. for measure... only about 7% of all movies I have seen managed to reach boring status. or... about 1 out of every 14 movies I have seen over the long term that are boring and I generally can't finish watching them.
2)Greatly dislike/offensive (i.e. movies I score a 1/10) ; these stand out in a negative way (like ones I actively dislike quite a bit etc) but these are quite rare (pretty much only four movies managed to pull this off) so I generally don't count them.
so while my option #2 is technically worse for me... they are quite rare to where boring is almost always the typical bottom score which is why I ranked boring higher. hell, I think it's pretty safe to say the average person would consider a movie being boring as the worst crime a movie can commit in general since it's the opposite of interesting/entertaining even though there can be occasions where a movie is worse than boring in a way to where you can't stand it (but for me these are thankfully pretty rare). but I think, like myself, most people would generally stumble into more movies that are boring than offensive and the like.
- Being Boring.
Sure I can enjoy a film for other reasons but firstly I like to be entertained or amused by a film. Granted many films have slow spots and thats fine if it has other redeeming values but a film that just bores me is a major frustration.
