It would seem that way if you don't take the time to find out who the characters are and what their motivations are.

That's the thing.  The time most people take is the length of the movie trailers shown.  Many movie goers don't rely on doing research of super heroes after a movie trailer is shown, they expect the trailer should be enough to tell what the viewer needs to know.

If everybody took the time to find out these things then nobody would be watching the X-men movies as they would find out its complete garbage compared to the comics.
