All the so called 'hits' this year were never as good as advertised. It started with the ridiculous hype with the Lego Movie, which was called by one reviewer possible the best film ever, then a few weeks later they were saying Captain America 3 was the best film ever, then Apes was the best ever, then Xmen was the best ever, and it just continued. All those films had great critical praise but none were as good as advertised.
The reality is this was a very bad year for film and critics, attempting to protect their jobs, pumped all these movies up with hot air in an attempt to drive ticket sales. All it ended up doing was disappointing people which drove sales down.

This is one of the dumbest things I've read all year. Maybe the illuminati was behind it.
Bad films have always made money, the 90's was an awful time for Blockbusters, but movies are still here and so are critics. I doubt film is going to be made obsolete.
I've seen tons of great films this year, if you're not liking them, maybe you ought to branch out into other film areas to quench your thirst if mainstream cinema disappoints you so much?
