Re: Genres you love in theory, but hate in practice

In books, urban fantasy never grabbed me. I quibble about sci-fi, I like some, I hate some, and it's not divided across sub-genre lines. I like some hard sci-fi, but some is really dry and tiresome too. Soft sci-fi also varies.

Someone mentioned the current trend of urban fantasy being kick-ass women dealing with supernatural stuff turning into faux-action girls fucking supernatural stuff also makes me avoid lots.

Though I hugely love high fantasy, sword-and-sorcery fantasy can be a bit hit-and-miss.

In movies, high fantasy has never been all that successful. I think it's that movies don't have the time to go into the sort of scope most high fantasy needs. LotR only managed it by dint of having movies that topped over 3 hours each.

In contrast to my book tastes, I feel TV and movies is excellent for urban/modern fantasy. Less so for hard sci-fi, and I usually see hard sci-fi books adapted into softer movies.
