I've just remembered what I hate nowadays...

Just watch Suspiria (2018) till the end, and you'll understand. I simply hate the "modern" music utilization in occultic movies. I get that it can be done so as not to traumatize the youth, but I would wish that they released 2 versions: one for the youth, and the other for the adults. I even hate the improper uplifting rock music utilization in the movies of the earlier decades... Please... Certain scenes call far certain types of music.

I tend to avoid films in the first place that come with a too neat or happy ending (this is usually pretty obvious from what I hear/read about a film before I watch it; even if I watch something on TV randomly I can fairly reliably predict this to happen). As a consequence, I tend to not like too much ("hate" is surely too strong a word) too lazy endings where directors out of concern to become overly neat or happy just stop things at any more or less random point without wrapping up anything. I do like if some good thought has gone into the story including how and why it ends the way it ends.

"No Country for Old Men" is an excellent example. The book and movie are flawless. 
I've been a Clive Barker fan since The Books of Blood. I saw Rawhead Rex at the theater. Barker disavowed the movie- Rawhead Rex. I thought everything about the movie was solid except the ending...which was solved by a one hero, wrapped in a pretty bow, stupid, with corny special effects. Sitting in the theater, I was looking forward to the book ending.  In the book, the villagers kill the monster like ants kill a scorpion. In the book, the monster and the villagers tear each other apart.  I was extremely disappointed that the book ending was replaced with CHEESE.Ouch

Back in the 60s and 70s, you didn't know how a film would end. I was 16, watching 1965's- The Bedford Incident on Saturday afternoon TV. The ending gobsmacked me. I was blown away.  I did not expect that ending. If you like endings that you don't expect then check out a 1983 slasher film- Sleepaway Camp.

Ford v Ferrari - I just couldn't believe the ending. I know it's true story, but I was so upset :(
