Firstly, if you are saying it in the negative, as in your headline, then it should be:
"I don't think I want to..." rather than "I think I don't want to..."
Secondly, there is nothing wrong with "think," it sounds very native. However, some alternatives are:
"I find that I don't like going to the movies as much as I used to."
"I feel as though I'm starting to enjoy my English class a bit more."
"I reckon he's the best player in the world." (Though 'reckon' is quite Australian; I'm not sure other English speakers use it very much.)

You can say: "I believe....", "I presume....", "From what I can conclude,..." , "I feel...", "I found that...", "In my opinion..."
***But many people around me who are native English speakers still use "I think" a lot, although it's not very formal. So you can try saying the ones I states before..Those are bit more formal^^
