Haven't blockbusters mostly been mediocre forever though? 25 years ago, Armageddon, Godzilla, Deep Impact, Dr Doolitle, and Lethal Weapon 4 were 5 of the 10 highest grossing movies.
15 years ago (when the Dark Knight came out), Indiana Jones/Crystal Skull, Hancock, Madagascar 2, Quantum of Solace, and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian were top 10 grossing movies.
