Hype is where it's at. It's there job to hype it up, but it's also their job to deliver on that hype. That's what you actually are tired of. The payoff to the hype.

Example: The Spell of Shattered Sight was a devastating spell that caused an entire kingdom to kill each other until there was no one left, excpet the king. So, the beautiful spell was cast and what did we get.....campy, fun, fun, without a single non-villain death!

So, it's not that they hyped it up or the way they did it, but it's poor and lacking adequate payoff.

The budget is important, but they could obviously do one big fight and just not do much magic elsewhere. Take a car instead of poof, call, or something normal. But this isn't about the budget, it's about the writing and advertising.
