If something's predictable, one cannot really be disappointed by it, can one?

I think the answer to that is obvious - yes, one can.

Aren't you confusing the idea that if you expect something to be bad you can't be disappointed with it?

I think that's the case, unless you mean that something may be in some ways predictable and mediocre even in its unpredictable parts. People often confuse finding something expectedly mediocre with finding it disappointing.
