What is a movie you were excited to see, but ended up not liking?

Mine was Baby Driver. Love Edgar Wright but I don't think he's a good solo writer, and it shows with Baby Driver. The opening was fantastic and the soundtrack was really good but everything else was meh. The dialogue was unnatural, a lot of the tension felt contrived, and the romance was unnecessary and cliched.

Another was The Tree of Life. I love Terrence Malick. The Thin Red Line, The New World, Badlands, and Days of Heaven were all incredible, but I can't say the same for The Tree of Life. It looked heavenly, it had very interesting themes, and the first act was superb. However it lost my interest in the second half where it resembles to conventional family drama.
