If you were a kid in the 80s you for sure knew that Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father before you had a chance to see Empire Strikes Back. You couldn't get away from it. A good film maker knows this. That's why reveal has a face-off duel and Luke losing a hand and taking a plunge of death. It is enjoyable to watch the character learn and react to the information
Different people enjoy different things. Not all people are like you.
I appreciate good film-making as an exercise in light and shadow, cutting and camera movement, sound and vision. But most pop movies are not made like that; they're mechanically constructed with all the art of a fast food meal. The only payoff they have is their short story, and it takes so little hinting to make it too obvious.
I'm not a fan of any actor in particular. I don't go to see a movie because an actor portrays a part. And I certainly don't go to the movies to watch people's expressions.
