Going to a movie alone sucks. It also sucks when going with someone, just not as much.

The better choice is to watch the movie at home. Then you can pause it when you need to use the bathroom, you can eat whatever food/snacks you want without paying a fortune, the sound won't be too loud, you won't have to deal with obnoxious jerks around you, you won't have to worry about getting shot by some crazy off-duty cop, you won't have to sit through 30 minutes of ads, I could go on and on...

I like going to the movies by myself. I used to do this all the time when I was single. I can just watch the movie and not worry about anything else.

It's ok to go to movies with other people too, but you aren't really socializing while you are watching the movie, unless you want to disturb the people around you.

I love going to the movie theater by myself. I dont think it sucks at all and its quite great.

Its easier to get fully immersed. Its easier to find a seat. I can still chat with friends who saw the movie later by themselves.

You enjoy sitting there uncomfortable with a full bladder? Or you don't mind missing 5 minutes of the movie when you need to go?
