I'm so not shocked.

Many of the movies released over the past few years have been garbage. The plots are rehashed, predictable, and/or uninteresting.

Plus, going to the movies is expensive. An adult ticket at my local theatre is nearly $10. Even a matinee ticket is nearly $7 (I remember when a full-price adult ticket cost less than that). Add in the obligatory (overpriced) popcorn, Milk Duds, and soda, and you could be looking at spending $30 or more for a couple. A movie had better be d@mn good for me to shell out that kind of money, given that I could wait a couple of months, rent it on DVD for $5, microwave my own popcorn, and watch it in the privacy of my own home.
