Is that we are all different. Nothing wrong with that.

It basically comes down to one's expectations - take horror films - the whole point of those is to scare you - if it did that then it was a successful film for the genre.
No one is going into a horror film to "develop" their mental faculties. Now if a horror movie attempts to make you think AND scares you - then great - those horror films often get elevated. A recent example might be "Get Out" that has some attempt on Racial commentary - though is it really as strong in terms of a horror movie?
It's fairly obvious that when people spend $20 at the movies when they don't make much money - that they are going to see a movie tailored to the Big Sound Big Screen experience. I know several people who watch Roma and films like that but will say they wish to watch that at home.
They will then see the big dumb marvel movie on the big screen. That's why they make a billion dollars. The smaller movies do get watched.
Remember The Shawshank Redemption - made only $17million (and that after being re-released after it was nominated) - word of mouth managed to have it ranked as the biggest rental of all time or thereabouts.
I have no problem with comic book movies but people go way overboard on them.
I sort of picture Victor as Bill Maher (at least on this topic).

  Patrick would turn in his grave.
  
  As far as watching good movies on big screen - we do that. I like the Sunday matinees, with five people in the theater - us two, two old ladies and some hairy dude in Birkenstocks. It is all quiet and peaceful at Ritz...
