Writing or scripting that feels the incessant need to over-explain everything to the viewer, even obvious things. It's most prevalent in poorly made modern movies from 2000 onward. It implies that studios believe audiences are so dumb that they won't be able to follow a complex story.
Damn, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was godawful. The special effects were cool but the spoonfed storytelling was insulting.

When you rehash an old story, again and again, but nothing is added to the story. It is just another reHASH of the characters doing the same thing, over and over again. It adds nothing, but might be brighter and more full of fluff than anything with any semblance of character development. How many times do we have to see The Phoenix Saga done?
Watching X-Men:Apocalypse makes me sad, the level of Junk Food Storytelling is pathetic, and just to give the actor a softball role to play.
