Some would consider that a good thing.

"Even with its big-screen pyrotechnics and its feature-length running time, Star Trek Beyond plays like an extended version of one of the better episodes from the original series, and I mean that in the best possible way."

Comedies are slowly but surely disappearing because it's difficult, if not impossible to make one that appeals to a global audience. True story. 

Wait. There was a scene IN THE MOVIE that used the song Sabatoge?

Kids with butthurt soccer moms that are too lazy to do their jobs so they have entertainment do it for them happened.

The only 2 movies I don't regret going to the cinema to watch are Jungle Book, Gods of Egypt, The Conjuring 2 and BvS.

Edit: That's actually not bad. So, definitely not the worst summer movie ever.

Definitely not the worst. There were some good movies this year. The worst summer I remember is the year inception came out. I remember that was the only good movie that came out that summer.

I regret watching BvS. Literally the only good part was when they fought Doomsday. Civil War was amazing and I'm watching Suicide Squad later this week. Hollywood now is about Superhero Movies which will surely die by the mid 2020's.

i dont mind it because i quit going to movies because i can't handle 30+ min of previews. drives me nuts.

i'd pay 10 extra per seat to skip ads. the bigger the blockbuster AAA titles can sometimes Have 40min previews to help get more cash.

other films pay them to be in their previews if they know its a HIT so they ensure ppl will watch theirs too!

so unless its a 1 month old film i dont go because i like to come 10-20 min late so i skip the previews and still get a good seat. meaning i can never go to a new movie ever again. so far 3 years and im fine with it. feels good.

I have to disagree with you on this one. First of all, Batman v Superman shouldn't even as a summer movies. It came out in March. It pretty much left theaters by the time summer began. The newest X-Men was not the worst one by a longshot. Captain America: Civil War qualifies as a summer movie but I also thought it was pretty good. 

Second of all, this summer was hardly the worst. I would say the worst time for summer movies in my lifetime was roughly between 1996 and 2001. Back in those days, summer movies were expected to suck, at least critically. People didn't have particularly high expectation for most summer movies but they saw them anyway. The big difference is back then there were a larger variety of movies coming out. The bad thing is most of them sucked. Remember in 1998 when we got Deep Impact and Armegeddon, two shitty movies about astroids hitting the Earth? They both had big stars and a big budget and both made money. That same summer, we also got the shitty America Godzilla. So the summer of '98 saw what was more or less three shitty disaster films. Back then, an okay movie was seen as a fucking masterpiece because of how badly other movies sucked. This is why people have fond memories of the first Independence Day. It wasn't that good of a movie but the special effects were amazing for the time and compared to most of everything else that was out, it was great.

Thirdly, there's a reason you're seeing what you're seeing. The superhero movies have a new formula. With the exception of X-Men, most superhero movies are controlled in house and are now done a serial format where people who saw the last one will want to see the next one in order to see what happens next even if it doesn't involve the same characters. Also, most of them are generally decent. Before 2008, most superhero movies were licensed to other studios, had no connections to one another and varried in quality, usually with more of them being bad than good. As for why you're seeing plenty of remakes. sequels and animated movies with cute animals, it is because Hollywood no longer caters to you or most Americans for that matter. Hollywood is going after the international market. In places like China, they never got to see classics like Ghostbusters because most American movies were never allowed over there. Now that they are, the Chinese audiences are playing catchup and there's a lot of money to be made. Also, I recently found out that the Ice Age movies are insanely popular in Russia. Ice Age over there is like what Frozen is over here. That's the only reason Ice Age 4 exists. Because movies are more international, this also affects how the writing works. Ever wonder why Star Trek is less intellectually stimulating than it used to be? This is because since Hollywood is selling it to an internaitonal audience, the language that is used would kind of hard to successfully translate in a way that would make sense in some countries. So they go for action and explosions since that sort of thing is universally understood. 

So it isn't thay Hollywood is out of ideas. It's just that the market has changed. In the case of superhero movies, it has changed for the better. For everything else, it has changed for the worst. At least we're not getting as many bad movies as we used to. But there is a bright side to it all. You mentioned Game of Thrones. Remember how bad television was 10 years ago, when reality tv was in full swing? Television sort of died and went through a renaissance phase in recent years. Now there's actually good stuff on tv. Maybe the same thing will happen with movies. Maybe when the China and other countries get done absorbing several decades of American pop culture, then they will also demand something else.
