I'm with you on this. All my friends seem to love kids movies. For me they are fine to watch with my kid, but I would never want to watch them alone. They are just watered down versions of movies with very tame themes and jokes meant to appeal to both children and sometimes adults. I just can't fathom how you could get really into them. The latest Star Wars and Avengers are basically becoming kids movies as well and I just find them insanely boring. They don't need to be dark but I much prefer when they are written for an adult audience and have complex themes.
