What movie had everything going for it, but just failed to meet expectations?

My vote has to be "Gangs of New York". Scorcese, Daniel Day Lewis, Leo, organized crime in New York! It just didn't work. Alot of people blame Cameron Diaz. She is not good in the movie, but the movie already feels off before she even gets on the screen. The beginning of the movie just seems so rushed. The pacing is off, the editing is off, and dare I say, the acting is off. Daniel Day Lewis is the greatest actor imo, but great acting can only go so far when the movie isn't edited properly.

Every year or so, I get excited to re-watch this movie, and every year I remember how much it disappoints me.
