'... it's hard to decide if that new movie just out is worth spending $15 on. Might be crap.'

As well a restaurant might be crap too, or a website or mason work... look up reviews before buying.

Or don't, and watch Netflix or Popcorn Time.

The market is speaking.

Except looking at reviews for a movie spoils the movie.
You can always go by the number itself, or a critic that you trust.
If you go too a restaurant and the food is really terrible, then you can refuse to pay, send a dish back, get a reduction/waiver of the bill - even the best places get it wrong sometimes.

Anyone ever got money back from Amazon/Apple/whoever because a movie they sold you sucked?

IDK, I'll find out within 72 hours. I just asked Microsoft to give me my money back for Dynasty Warriors 9 (I'd call it broke as fuck, but it's probably subjective).

I did once get a refund request for a Toy Story 4 ticket because the director and I happen to share some names.

Where I live, our major cinema chain will refund your ticket if you leave in the first 20(?) minutes of a movie.
