It depends entirely on the movie.
Like one of my all time favourite movies is Pacific Rim, because it's goal is simply to be a bad ass and fun movie where robots fight giant monsters and it succeeds at that incredible.
It doesn't pretend there's some big important ehtic dilemma or it's characters are particularly deep or go through big arcs, but it doesn't ignore any of that either, it gives just another character to make the film work and be good without distracting from the robots.
But then on the other hand a film like good will hunting has no giant monsters but has a great character arc that is the driving force of the movie and is also good.
As I said of Pacific Rim in another comment:
But then another personal favorite of mine is 12 Angry Men. Black & white, most of the movie takes place in a single room, but still fantastic
