Hate putting my hand on the armrest only to find used gum or wrappers on it. Also the local theaters tend to get the times wrong, and ads can run for like an additional 5 minutes 😒
Worse is sitting in a broken seat. Then moving into another broken seat.
I honestly haven't had too much problem with people on phones, going to the bathroom, eating, etc. But I did have an annoying guy sniffing his snot loudly right next to me every 5 or 10 seconds. That got old really quickly.
With certain theaters I've noticed significant issues with either sound or visual quality, so I've learned that I just need to stick with the best theater in town. Even my local cheap theater ($2.50 tickets) has better audio/video than a couple of the main theaters. We have a pretty damn nice cheap theater, I love it, although you don't get those comfy seats.
I do prefer to see most things at home, but for certain things I want to see on the big screen I do find it a bit more annoying having to plan to get seats together with the assigned seating. But yeah, it's bittersweet because the new reclining seats are super nice.

Haven't gone to the cinema in years. Used to love it, decades ago, but now there is no point, unless you HAVE to see it the moment it comes out. The home cinema experience is better in every sense of the way, if you know how to spend your money.
It's certainly a lot funner and more exciting then staying at home, but there's no real reason, it's too expensive, you can't pause it, you can't watch it multiple times without paying, and some people are guaranteed to be obnoxious and ruin the movie experience.

Nothing ruins a movie worse then noticing damage to the screen, and not being able to unsee it.
Except for that time Avatar had a damn line running down the film itself for most of it.
Mod power in the real world is for police officers.
I have no qualms whatsoever about standing up and calling someone out for being a disrespectful piece of shit for talking on a phone while others are trying to watch and enjoy a movie they paid for.
Small children and babies are another thing. Keep your f*cking kids quiet.
