Or maybe you have theatres that are not managed by kids barely out of their teens, whose evaluation of a film is based on how loud the explosions were and whether it had "great effects" (whatever that means.)
Myself, I'd rather see something resembling a credible plot and some acting that is both believable and appropriate. This film had neither.
Hollywood makes whatever sells, of course. The fault for the general crappy level of today's film output lies with the audiences who continue to flock to see the garbage, no matter how bad it is, as long as it has lots of explosions and chase scenes.
