They love artsy-fartsy types of movies, Lost In Translation, anyone? Sure, it may have not been a bad movie but Academy Award type? Nope.

I don't think that's it. I think they get tired of the "please everyone" movies. Take Deadpool. Yeah, there were the usual pretentious ones from the New Yorker and publicaitons like that. But it generally got good reviews because critics saw it for what it was: cartoonish characters committing horrible acts of violence to horrible people with bad jokes meant to be bad. There wasn't anything ground breaking, but it was all true to characters and consistent in what it was trying to do.

From what these reviews (and others) are saying, SS is just another generic PG13 action movie without any more substance than the others like it.
