I would agree, I can't find much at the local cinema worth seeing.
The entire movie "climate" has changed dramatically over the past three decades or so. As a baby boomer, our tastes are out of style.
Summer is dominated by two critters: 1) animation/CGI and 2) block busters. I simply don't care for animation (though I enjoyed the first Toy Story and the first Shrek). The block busters approach is wearing thin. Indiana Jones was weak, The Incredible Hulk was weak, etc.
Have you seen the previews for "Journey to the Center of the Earth," w/ Brendon Frasier? The original is an absolute classic, but this remake looks horrible. WAY TOOOOOO MUCH computer graphics. Everything looks phony. But hey, our kids were raised on computer games, so it will probably do well. I actually like to see real grass and trees instead.
We usually have to wait until the late fall--closer to Oscar season--to find any thing that resembles adult fare.
There is an incredible lack of creativity and imagination in movies today. IMO, there are too many sequels, too many sketches expanded to feature-length comedies (think most SNL stuff), too many super hero movies (Hulk tanked the first time around, why bring back that POS?).
Just my thoughts. YMMV tremendously.
