Well... uh.... no- not at all.
Yes one *can* nitpick any movie, but a GOOD movie (whatever type appeals to you as an individual) will sweep you away from your current reality and get you so caught up in its story that for a short period of time you are a *part* of the story.
In fact, my personal 'first indicator' of whether a film is good or not is whether at any time I find myself glancing at my watch. If I do look at it, I know the filmmakers have not done their jobs well- they lost me and kicked me out of the story. I suppose my second indicator of quality is whether or not I would want to watch the film again anytime soon. Some movies I walk out of the theater thinking 'man, I'm going to buy *that* dvd' or whatever, and some I leave, shrug my shoulders and have forgotten it within a few minutes. These are not 'SW' criteria- they go for any film, any genre.
So no, I don't feel ALL movies are disappointing- if they were, why would we watch them?
