I typically watch movies in a cinema if I watch them away
from a television. If in a cinema generally speaking I do not interact, I
prefer to be a good little boy and keep my mouth shut (surprising I know to
anybody who has spent time around me).
I also tend to refrain from laughing out loud or making any comments even if I desperately want to go “ooh I get it now”.
When watching films with friends or family, I am happier to talk and give a running commentary during the commercials before the film and the credits after, but never when the actual film itself is running.
I tend to get annoyed by deliberate sound from other cinema goers. While a laugh at a joke is fine, there is a point where a laugh can be so obnoxious that I want to cover my ears and cringe. People chatting or making loud comments as well annoy me. Babies or very young children crying also gives me a case of the wanna-punch-someone-syndrome. Mind you this crying isn’t a reaction to the film itself either, it’s just because that’s what babies do.

It’s true that I am a heartless bastard, I won’t really cry
in films. Maybe misty-eyed at most, but even then that tends to be a reaction
to when the film wants me to cry. The engineered action of music, story and cinematography
which causes tear-jerking on demand.
I know some people are more emotional than myself and can get triggered by almost anything, but I am far too cynical.

I don’t think I have ever gotten an change of moral mind
from watching a film, my morals and view of the world is already baked into me
and so far no film, game or book has been able to truly sway my opinion one way
or the other. Not that isn’t to say that I don’t ‘understand’ what the film is
trying to get across or conveying.
I perfectly understand when films like Children of Men or Zootopia are trying to make a statement on social issues. I think in the case of Zootopia it’s quite evident that the core social message is a response to global terrorism and the people’s reaction to it. Racism, Faith and Gender all are represented in an interesting way.
