I've been watching tons of random YouTube reviews out of boredom and I was reminded about how terrible and nonsensical Prometheus was. I remember being so excited to get that movie and to explore the world and origins again with Ridley Scott back at the helm and instead we got an absolute abortion. I remember all of the argument on here about it, but for me, that movie is one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had between walking in to a theater and walking out.

What movies were just a complete let down for you?

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is up there as a huge disappointment.

Practically a meme at this point, but Last Jedi. On my first and only viewing, I got to the Canto Bight scene and had an epiphany - nothing in the movie to that point had resonated with me or even sparked more than the mildest of interest. So I stopped watching and never revisited it or watched Episode 9.

Easily The Rise of Skywalker.

Yep easy answer I was almost shell shocked when I walked out of it and realizing how bad it was.

Indiana Jones IV. I was so hyped for it. I think I learned to measure my expectations for everything after that.

I meant to mention I anticipated a lot of people mentioning recent star wars movies. I still haven't seen past whatever the first one in the new trilogy was and probably never will.

The Last Jedi

The Last Jedi

Napoleon immediately comes to mind

Back to the Future 2

For me it's tron 2

The Last Jedi.

Temple of Doom

Phantom Menace.

Even though it is the best of the prequels, and could have never lived up to the hype, it is still got the biggest "what the hell was that?" out of all movies I've seen

Phantom Menace
Last Jedi
Temple of Doom
Didn't particularly care for Quantum of Solace
The third Star Trek movie of this recent batch was a dud.

But the big two are Batman Returns with all the stupid penguins walking around with missiles on their backs.

And Catwoman. You have Halle Berry and Sharon Stone and you turn out a piece of garbage movie.

WW1984 is so bad it's funny so I don't consider it.

Sphere - I even pictured Sharon Stone as the lead female when I originally read the book in HS. Then the movie came out and it sucked

Matrix Reloaded

The 2nd and 3rd Hangover movies.

What disappointing, zero effort crap they both were.

Episode 1 of Star Wars. I enjoyed watching 4, 5, and 6 several times, but have not watched anything Star Wars related since that abomination.

Watch Rogue One. It leads into 4. It's fantastic.

Killers of the Flower Moon.

TFA.
Wait 20 years for a Star Wars movie and they gave us a glorified unoriginal remake.

Alexander.

Not even Rosario Dawson getting naked could save that movie.

13 year old me was disappointed with a fuzzy, occasionally partially descrambled version of debbie does dallas I tried to watch on cable in the mid 80s.

I'll take the not safe shot and skip low hanging fruit here.

Dunkirk

Movie was a mess and though I don't hate it, I really, really did not enjoy it. To be absolutely fair though, I allowed myself a LOT of hype beforehand. I am a massive warfare history nerd and Dunkirk has fascinated me since the first book I read on it at age 8 or 9 and with who was directing it, figured it would be a slam dunk.

Nope

For me it was End Games. I hated what they did with Hulk, making him a pu**y, and Thor, making him a fat slob. Those were my two favorite characters.

Tenet was also a big one for me. Was really looking forward to that movie and thought it was a mess. I have not seen it since the first viewing, and have absolutely no desire to watch it again.
