Absolutely
Majority of the releases are mediocre at best. Some of the blame I direct at the celebrities who believe their acting is worth 20 million for some stupid movie.

When I was a kid we used to go to the movies as a family about once a week. It was something fairly inexpensive that the whole family could do together, and then we would talk about the movie afterwards. It probably cost the whole family about 25 dollars admission and snacks back then.
Now one person can spend 20 dollars on admission and snacks. So, yes on one hand the movies have become too expensive.
On the other hand, movie goers today expect a lot more for their entertainment dollar. Compare the special effects in the original Superman movies to what we expected to see in X-men. Compare that we were willing to sit in movie theatres where seats were crammed together and we sort of had to peek around the head of the person in front of us to the need now for stadium seating and full THX Surround sound compared to good old fashioned stereo. So as consumers we are becoming far more demanding on what we want in a movie theatre. So we become more willing to pay for the experience.
I guess it just boils down to your personal preference. Some movies are fine on the small screen in your living room, but lets face it movies like XXX, X-MEN, or even Pirates of the Caribbean have a less impact in your living room than they do in the theatre.

Actually I don't really mind current ticket prices that much. They usually vary around $7 to $10 right. Hardly something to get so upset about. Now if you feel you've been ripped off by watching a crappy movie then that's pretty much your own fault. Study up before going to the movies. I constantly surprised by the amount of people that decide which movie they're going to see by simply choosing which movie poster looks good. If you're an uneducated consumer, you're likely to get suckered.

I don't think the ticket prices are out of line for a two-plus hour show...but the concession stand is a total rip-off.
Imagine walking into a convenience store with a Big Gulp and a Snickers bar and the clerk says, "$9 please." You'd laugh and walk out.

Yes that's why we only go to the Drive-In, it's only $5 for adults and kids under 12 are free! We also know the owner and live next door so we get in for free!

I think the price is normal considering facilities we get, but we don't need to watch all the time in theater

Yes they most definitely are. There are lots of people that would like to go to a movie, but can't because of the outrageous ticket admission. it's rediculous.

it's really expensive, lucky I have a good sound system. Sound quality isn't as good as in the movie theater, but a lot cheaper.
