What movie did you go into thinking it was gonna be great but turned out to be awful? What did you expect going in and what did you get instead?

A million ways to die in the west.
I was younger and more naive and believed the hype. It was a sloppy, gross flick.

Man Bites Dog
From the poster I thought it was going to be a hit dark comedy packed with action, but it just turned out to be just an underwhelming mockumentary about some edglerod aimlessly fucking around with old people.

Pacific Rim. It's the movie that taught me to never trust the hype machine. I remember watching it and be severely underwhelmed and unimpressed. I was expecting the coolest, most stylish and hell frikkin epic giant robot monster fight simulator evar, and it was just okay. Felt like it was trying way too hard to be cool. Asian girl was qt though.

The invention of lying.
Great concept, awful movie.

I took my high school crush and my little brother to see the Transformers movie where they shoot the balls off a giant robot climbing up the pyramids with a rail gun. I had never seen a transformer movie and it was fucking retarded. But then I got back home and made out with her on my bed for like half an hour straight, it felt so unreal. She was cute and had perfect perky tits and we dated for like 3 years. I’m chubby, married and a father now and I never knew how much I’d miss fucking and sucking as a young fit guy. I can still smell her holes.

The Mister Rogers movie depressed the hell out of me so I turned it off.

Childish bickering and bad CGI
It's the movie that made me start hating capeshit.

The Prestige
It's not a necessarily bad flick - but that's all it is. I expected more when you consider the actors they had and the high ratings the flick received. A very solid 6.5/10 but a disappointment if you come into it expecting something great.

I thought it was gonna play out in a typical 3 act structure but it hits the ground running with the conspiracy immediately, i couldn't believe it, 4 and a half hours of that? Why is Joe Pesci caked in make up and wearing an awful blonde wig? Tommy Lee jones is gay? WTF is this shit Stone you fucking Hack! THIS WON AN OSCAR? The Editor slammed his hands on the keyboard and they thought it was cool? Turn this shit off. made in 30 min in, terrible fucking movie.

This shit was getting talked up so much so i paid real human money to see it in a surprisingly packed theater. The moment the camera leaves his colonoscopy with that stupid sythwave zoomer shit playing i was real worried and then the first scene with him in the fucking Jewel Shop and the black people played and i was so fucking pissed off and my anger lasted the entire fucking movie. What an overrated, ugly fucking film. Watch punch drunk love instead.

I thought it was gonna be a funny quirky look at martial arts culture but it gets so absured so fast with its twist that it ruined the movie for me and just seemed stupid
Christopher Stewart
Downsizing.
I thought it was going to be a comedy with MAYBE a villain that represented corporations raping the earth or whatever, and I could have handled it if it wasn’t so in your face about it and the movie was actually entertaining.
What I got was a waste of two movie tickets for date night. What I got was the obligatory “fun as a small guy” scene that turned it into Matt Damon battling Al Gore’s worst nightmare by being a boring fuck who meets stale characters throughout the whole film.
Then, when you think the movie is finally going to end on a coherent note of “Matt Damon leaves world to go underground with his new girl,” you have him realize that the trek is going to be kind of long so he says fuck this and TURNS AROUND AND THE MOVIE IS FUCKING OVER. Instead of a boring Hollywood payoff for this steaming pile of crap, we get an ending that’s pointless, laughable, and makes no damn sense.
And somehow, my gf at the time actually liked this movie.

I'm not gonna say Joker was awful but I was disappointed.
So so so much hype from here, good friends, coworkers.
I guess I thought it was a masterpiece and it ended up feeling mediocre to me.
Sucks too because I won't be able to express my opinion that way without getting a weird look

I was young in this case, the trailer looked so cool. In its defense it has some good shit in it, i particularly like the way the werewolf changes and Beckinsale's ass.
i cant find the scene, but the part where Frankenstein monster is captured is so fucking cringe inducing you might roll into a ball after watching it. I would also bring up hammy glamore dracula but Yas Forums likes him so nevermind

I remember being a bit surprised at how bad a piece of film making the War of the Worlds remake turned out to be.
Saving Private Ryan was only a few years earlier (1998). 2002's Minority Report had its charm. But this 2005 take on WotW is almost a perfect example of how *not* to tell the story. Pick an everyman's viewpoint who isn't going to be privy to most of the activity going on of the global invasion? Then conveniently place that everyman in increasingly unlikely scenarios so that *something* can be told without him being harvested or heat-ray'd in the first five minutes.
There was a good reason to have the 50s version be shown from a high-ranking scientist's viewpoint, to actually *show* what all was going on.
The film was praised at the time but you never, ever hear people talking of it anymore. It looks like reviewers were still slobbering on Spielberg's cock, too afraid to mention anything about the emperor's new clothes.

Seriously? He's like the worst fucking Dracula I've ever seen in a movie. This board has such shit taste sometimes.

There was some charm in the very beginning of the movie that had the villagers after Frank.
Then the film became the generic gadget-hero nonsense that was all the rage at the time.
Josiah Stewart
A Most Violent Year kinda qualifies since I convinced my dad and brother in law to go see it with me expecting a mafia action thriller, dad fell asleep 20 minutes in and we all had an awkward dinner afterwards.
It was actually pretty good on a rewatch but the trailer was so misleading.
