Actually, lately movies in general have been predictable because Hollywood keeps using the same format for stuff. A lot of comedy movies, family movies, or animated movies aren't just worth watching because they are all the same.
As far as plot twists go, I also think that too many movies try to have plot twists, that way they makes themselves "unpredictable". But honestly, if you are telling the story well enough, or present the audience with a couple different possibilities for the ending, It won't be predictable. Even if the ending is predictable, the audience should still be on the edge of their seat trying to remind themselves that:
"The main character isn't going to lose, this is a kids films! Of course the bad guy isn't going to win, the movie isn't going to let that happen!"
Even though that is probably true, a film that builds suspense well enough will make you forget that no matter how many times you remind yourself.
Take "Toy Story 3", for example

Of course they aren't going to let all the toys burn in an incinerator, but everyone felt that suspense the movie created.
Or "Raiders of the Lot Ark"

Obviously he is going to get the "magical box of whatever the heck", or the "voodoo rocks of somestupidthing", because its an Indiana jones film. Regardless, the very first time a person watches the one of movies, they usually lose themselves in one of the fight sequences.
So basically, you don't need a "HUGE SHOCKING PLOT TWIST" that can be easily spoiled on the internet, you just need a well made movie. Plot twists are great, don't get me wrong, but there are way too many of them these days.
Also, If it is a good plot twist, yeah, I think spoilers suck.
no more brickfilming *sad face*.
