Movies you thought that were going to be awesome but ended up being AWFUL

I've often said that somewhere in between the first Raimi film and the first "Amazing" film is the "perfect" Spider-Man movie. I think "Amazing" is fine, its biggest sin is merely coming out "too soon" after the previous trilogy, but in a vacuum it's Perfectly Fine. Except for the pointless origin changes, but again, "too soon" so they had no choice. I didn't like the changes but they were forced upon them by "Corporate", so I mostly forgive them.

Amazing 2 had some good moments in what was ultimately a very bloated and meandering affair with far too many competing subplots, each of which could have been its own film. Far from the worst CBM I've ever seen, and not as bad as its reputation, but it definitely needed to reign in some of those creative choices. Electro, for example, was... creative, but ultimately terrible. But the film does have its moments.
