hno:Yeah, unless you like a couple of specific genres, it's tough to find a good movie nowadays.
Seems like almost all movies nowadays fall into category of super hero or fictional/fantasy.
2014 movies (note, this is JUST 2014):
X-men
Captain america
Lego movie
Transformers
Dawn of the planet of the apes
Guardians of the galaxy
Amazing Spiderman
Hunger games
How to train your dragon (although I assume that's a kids movie)
Ninja Turtles
The Hobbit
Evidently, that's what sells. Sucks for me because I don't find these genres remotely interesting. But they must clean up at the box office.

A pathetic movie that gets a 19% on rotten tomatoes is making the idiot director millions who knew he was making a bad movie the whole time.
The following movies are all playing in theaters now that are better reviewed than turtles.
A most wanted man (great movie that will make no money)
Guardians of the Galaxy
The hundred foot journey
Lucy
Hercules
Get on Up
Dawn of the planet of the apes
Boyhood
It's kind of like how every new Adam Sandler movie is intentionally terrible yet makes millions. It's disappointing I guess that the general public prefers mindless entertainment to good films. Not saying that all of the above are great movies but you know what I mean.
By your vehement defending of the movie i'm going to assume you are a Michael Bay fan. There is no shame it in, I just think the guy makes horrible movies with zero effort. Those movies make him millions which then fund more horrible mindless movies. It's a cycle that has clearly gotten worse and worse in recent years and it's disappointing to someone who appreciates a good film.
The bad thing is you can not blame Bay at all for this. It is 100% the publics fault.
