Quality of movies

Is it me only or has anyone noticed that the quality of movies when compared to TV shows has dropped drastically. I'm known to be a movie buff. I have been one since I was about 10. Every year, I look forward to the 3 to 6 movies that are classed under the ‘blockbuster’ title. ‘Blockbuster’ meaning, sure-to-generated-good-money at the box offices. The trend has been going down hill. What happened this year ( 2005) ? I was really looking forward to ‘Batman Begins’, ‘Fantastic Four’, ‘War of the Worlds’ and a few more. Every single one of them was a disappointment. Compare this to the high quality TV/sci-fi shows (Surface, Supernatural, Lost, Invasion, House, Threshold, Numb3rs), I have to say that these shows are doing more to capture the audiences attention than any of the movies I have seen so far this year.
