It was the first big budget blockbuster I had watched in ages, and I found it completely patronising and riddled with cliche.
You should dig deeper. There are many great films out there that are none of those things.

Well, I oddly enjoyed it as the trash it was. I think I enjoyed its very over-the-top nature. And I even stated many of the same complaints as you (but yes, I am utterly confused as to why Natalie Portman is famous, since she's been awful in everything since she graduated--in age only--to adulthood) . Everyone has some bizarre and tasteless treasures.
Well, as for these big-budget hollywood adolescent-fests of special effects etc, I havent seen a decent one in a long time. Pirates was one of the worst movies Ive ever seen, the Star Wars prequels and Matrix sequels were terrible, Da Vinci code, X-men was terrible, I hated the Spiderman movies, god, I really cant remember the last one I enjoyed. Name some good ones over the last few years.
